While Russell Wilson is expected to start for the Broncos on Christmas, the Broncos still decided to promote a third QB to the roster in Jarrett Guarantano. According to Troy Renck of Denver7 (on Twitter), there was enough interest from other teams (including the Cardinals) for the Broncos to decide to promote the rookie. The UDFA out of Washington State had his first professional gig with the Cardinals before catching on with the Broncos.

Commanders Sign 13 Undrafted Free Agents

May 2nd, 2022 at 8:13pm CST by Ben Levine

The Commanders added eight rookies in the draft, and they added another 13 first-year players today. Washington announced the signing of 13 undrafted free agents:

DeVante Cross, CB (Virginia)
Josh Drayden, CB (California)
Jequez Ezzard, WR (Sam Houston State)
Ferrod Gardner, S (Louisiana-Lafayette)
Curtis Hodges, TE (Arizona State)

Jacub Panasiuk, DE (Michigan State)
Armani Rogers, TE (Ohio)
Tyrese Robinson, G (Oklahoma)
Devin Taylor, CB (Bowling Green)
Tre Walker, LB (Idaho)
Drew White, LB (Notre Dame)

Arizona State tight end Curtis Hodges got a chunk of money to join Washington, earning a $25K signing bonus and a guaranteed $100K base salary, per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero (on Twitter). The 6-7 prospect showed some ability in the receiving game during the 2021 season, hauling in 20 receptions for 374 yards and two touchdowns.

Considering his position, Cole Kelley is another notable UDFA joining the Commanders. While he’s a long shot, Kelley will be one of several QBs (along with fellow rookie Sam Howell) competing for Washington’s starting nod. Kelley finished this past season having completed 73.55 percent of his passes for 5,124 yards, 44 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions.
