Broncos Sign Veteran Sam Webb After Defensive‑Back Tryout

The move adds experienced, position‑flexible depth while the team evaluates a rookie who missed practice with an injury.

Overview

  • The Broncos signed veteran defensive back Sam Webb following a tryout on Thursday, a roster addition first reported by local beat reporters and Broncos Wire.
  • Webb and undrafted rookie Ricardo Hallman were both given tryouts on July 30 as the team auditioned immediate options at defensive back.
  • Rookie cornerback Blake Cotton left Wednesday practice with an undisclosed injury and did not practice Thursday, prompting Denver to explore outside depth.
  • Webb, a 28‑year‑old who has played 36 regular‑season NFL games and spent 2025 with the Cleveland Browns, offers experience at both corner and safety that could help short‑term depth needs.
  • The signing underscores how teams use camp tryouts to plug holes and evaluate undrafted players, and it leaves Cotton’s roster competition and any corresponding roster move to be confirmed by the Broncos.
