Broncos Wire 's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at second-year cornerback Quinton Newsome , No. 36.

Broncos tenure:Newsome was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Denver Broncos in May 2024 . In October, Newsome was released and then re-signed to Denver's practice squad. In March 2025, the Broncos signed Newsome to a futures contract, keeping him on the 90-man roster.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Long shot. Newsome finds himself in a crowded defensive back room that was recently made more crowded with the addition of former UFL player Mario Goodrich . Newsome might be the outside fish in a very talented pond, but he'll get a chance to compete for a spot this summer.
