Corey Nelson will sign with the Broncos, according to Greg Auman of The Athletic (on Twitter). It’s a homecoming for the linebacker, who played in Denver from 2014-2017.
Nelson, 27, was released by the Bucs this week as they trimmed their roster to meet the 53-man maximum. He did his finest work with the Broncos, including the 2016 season in which he tallied 61 total tackles across 16 games (six starts). And, following the 2015 season, Nelson helped the Broncos capture a Super Bowl ring.
This might not be the Broncos’ only reunion of the week – they’re also interested in signing wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.
