Five Former Broncos Stars Still Jobless in 2025 Free Agency, Broncos Could Re-Sign Depth on the Cheap

Report: Panthers Interested in Ex-Broncos S Justin Simmons

DENVER, CO — Five former Broncos remain unsigned in 2025 free agency, sources told ESPN. With $18 million in cap space, Denver could re-sign these veterans for depth, eyeing Super Bowl LX.

Justin Simmons, a safety with 30 interceptions, played 16 games for Falcons in 2024 (62 tackles, 2 INT). His experience could bolster the secondary at a low cost, per NFL.com.

Josey Jewell, a linebacker with 464 tackles, remains jobless after leaving Panthers. His leadership fits a budget role, especially with Dre Greenlaw’s injury risk, per MileHighReport.

Lloyd Cushenberry III, a center with 51 starts, was cut by Titans mid-2024. His youth and potential suit a cheap depth spot, per The Athletic.

P.J. Locke III, a safety with 108 tackles, lost his role to Talanoa Hufanga. His special teams value makes him a viable return, per Spotrac.

Lil’Jordan Humphrey, a receiver with 388 yards, is unsigned after Giants stint. His blocking skills offer affordable depth, per Pro-Football-Reference.

Broncos Country buzzes: “Bring back Simmons, Jewell!” fans urge, per local reports. After a 10-7 playoff exit, these signings could boost Super Bowl LX odds, per Denver Post.
