Kevin Hogan is back with the Broncos. After being non-tendered by Denver earlier this month, the Broncos have agreed to re-sign the quarterback, Ryan O’Halloran of the Denver Post tweets.
Hogan, 26, first entered the league as a sixth-round choice of the Chiefs in 2016. He didn’t catch on there, but he hooked on with the Browns’ practice squad as a rookie and eventually worked his way on to the varsity squad. In 2017, he had a brief stay as the Browns’ starting quarterback – one game, to be exact – before being pushed down to No. 3 on the team’s QB depth chart.
Hogan is still looking for his next opportunity to start. Last April, he pushed the Browns to trade him to the Redskins, but he was unable to make their final cut. The Broncos scooped him up off waivers, but he did not see the field as he backed up Case Keenum.
This year, he’ll push to make the Broncos’ final cut and battle it out with Garrett Grayson to back up Joe Flacco.
Brilliant.

Flacco could get injured. I sure wish Elway & Co. had a depth approach to their quarterbacks a bit the way he does for his running backs. I don’t understand why the Broncos are so quick to boot QBs like Siemian and Sloter.
My only harsh criticism of Elway is that the Broncos will never have a Montana/Young or Bledsoe/Brady scenario because he ignores QB depth over “dead money”.
