Additionally, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads today. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.

Broncos Claim QB Brandon Allen

September 1st, 2019 at 11:56am CST by Zachary Links

The Broncos have claimed quarterback Brandon Allen off waivers, according to ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter (Twitter link). Allen was dropped by the Rams on Saturday, making him available to the league’s 31 other teams.

Allen is now set to serve as Joe Flacco‘s primary backup. Drew Lock was supposed to be the top clipboard holder, but a hand injury will keep him sidelined for a while. Kevin Hogan, an internal candidate to fill that void, was dropped over the weekend.

In addition to Allen, the Broncos have also been awarded the following players off waivers:

TE Andrew Beck (Patriots)
C Corey Levin (Titans)
WR Diontae Spencer (Steelers)

Patriots Sign 10 UDFAs

May 4th, 2019 at 8:39am CST by Ben Levine

The Patriots have added 10 undrafted free agents. Here is the team’s full list:

Calvin Anderson, OT (Texas)
Andrew Beck, TE (Texas)
Nick Brossette, RB (Louisiana State)
Ryan Davis, WR (Auburn)
Malik Gant, S (Marshall)
Tyler Gauthier, OL (Texas)
Terez Hall, LB (Missouri)
Jakobi Meyers, WR (NC State)
D’Angelo Ross, CB (New Mexico)
Tyree St. Louis, OT (Miami)

The Patriots also announced the signing of defensive lineman Nick Thurman, who was a 2018 undrafted free agent out of Houston.

The Patriots surprised some when they didn’t draft a rookie tight end to replace Rob Gronkowski. However, the team seemingly has high hopes for Beck; Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports (via Twitter) that the Patriots gave the Texas product $115K in guaranteed money (the highest among the team’s undrafted free agents). The former linebacker had a breakout offensive season in 2018, hauling in 28 receptions for 281 yards and two touchdowns.

The team also gave $85K guaranteed to both Gant and Hall. Gant, a former walk-on at Marshall, finished his collegiate career with a pair of standout seasons, including a 2018 campaign where he tallied 95 tackles and two interceptions. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound Hall was equally productive at Missouri, where he finished 2018 with 71 tackles and five sacks.

Considering New England’s lack of receiver depth, the team’s signing of Meyers is noteworthy. The former quarterback transitioned to wideout back in 2016, all leading to a 2018 season where he hauled in 92 receptions for 1,047 yards and four scores.
