- Broncos roster: OLB Andrew Farmer (No. 53) seeking breakthrough
Broncos Wire 's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at third-year outside linebacker Andrew Farmer , No. 53.
Before the Broncos :Farmer (6-3, 252 pounds) played collegiate football at Lane College, an HBCU (Historically Black College or University) in Jackson, Tennessee. After totaling 114 tackles and 17.5 sacks in his final two seasons with the Dragons, Farmer signed with the USFL's Michigan Panthers before ultimately changing his mind, deciding to join the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2023 season.

In 2023, Farmer played in eight games, making three total tackles (two solo, one assisted). Farmer began the 2024 season on the Chargers' practice squad before being released by Los Angeles in early September. The Denver Broncos quickly signed Farmer to their practice squad later in September.
Broncos tenure:Prior to being signed by the Chargers, the Broncos "spent considerable time" with the linebacker at the 2022 Hula Bowl, so he was not unfamiliar to the team. Farmer spent the rest of the 2024 season on the Broncos' practice squad.
Chances to make the 53-man roster:Likely competing for a practice squad spot. The Broncos know Farmer's value, and he's likely a strong candidate to spend another season on the practice squad. If any injuries should arise to the starting OLB corps, Farmer could be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster in 2025.
