Broncos Wire 's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at eighth-year wide receiver Trent Sherfield , No. 5.
Before the Broncos : Sherfield (6-1, 206 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Vanderbilt with the Arizona Cardinals in 2018. He spent time with five NFL teams before landing in Denver , most recently playing for the Minnesota Vikings last fall.

Broncos tenure: Denver signed Sherfield to a two-year, $6 million contract this spring. After the team lost special teams ace Tremon Smith during free agency, Sherfield is among the candidates to fill a key role in the kicking game this fall.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Likely. Sherfield is not a lock, but he has a strong chance to make the squad thanks to his special teams contributions. Broncos coach Sean Payton has placed an emphasis on special teams since he arrived in 2023, and that will help Sherfield's chances of making the squad.
