- NFL free agency: Denver Broncos sign LB Justin Strnad
The Denver Broncos are re-signing linebacker Justin Strnad to a one-year deal, DNVR's Justin Strnad first reported on Wednesday.
Strnad (6-3, 235 pounds) entered the league as a fifth-round draft pick out of Wake Forest in 2020. He missed his entire rookie season after undergoing wrist surgery and then returned in 2021 and started in six games, totaling 36 tackles and one quarterback hit.

Strnad then served primarily as a special teams player from 2022-2023 after losing his role on defense. Last spring, Strnad agreed to a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers that would have seen him reunited with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.
Before that deal became official, though, Strnad had a change of heart and instead returned to the Broncos on a one-year deal. Denver later lost Alex Singleton to a season-ending ACL injury and Strnad ended up starting a career-high eight games in 2024.
Strnad totaled 73 tackles, four quarterback hits, three sacks and three pass breakups last fall.
