The Broncos wanted Sam Ehlinger back. The feeling was mutual.
A day after Ehlinger was the last release within Denver’s 53-man roster plans, the quarterback is re-signing to the Broncos’ practice squad, a source told The Denver Post. It gives the Broncos their QB3 for 2025, as head coach Sean Payton made the point yesterday that every NFL team will carry three quarterbacks, in one form or another.
“The question’s simply, ‘What’s the third in the building?’ ” Payton said Tuesday. “Is he active, or practice squad?”
Ehlinger is on the practice squad, which is notable since a source told The Post that he had multiple offers to sign elsewhere to a team’s active roster.
