Dorsett"s departure last week was part of the team"s restructuring efforts to accommodate fresh talent. However, the Broncos wasted no time in re-establishing their connection with the experienced wideout.
Despite his limited appearances for the Broncos last season, not recording any catches, Dorsett brings a wealth of experience from his tenure with the Colts, Patriots, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Texans.
Over 92 games, he has accumulated 151 catches, 2,001 yards, and 12 touchdowns.
Quinton Newsome, the newly signed cornerback, showcased his skills at Nebraska, tallying 37 tackles, an interception, and a fumble recovery in his last season.
In tandem with these signings, the Broncos have waived punter Nik Constantinou and wide receiver Lincoln Victor. Both Constantinou and Victor were initially signed as undrafted free agents ahead of the team"s rookie minicamp.
The Broncos" swift actions reflect their commitment to optimizing their roster composition as they prepare for the upcoming season.
