Broncos' Sam Franklin: Signs one-year deal in Denver

The Broncos signed Franklin to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

Franklin, who spent the first five years of his NFL career in Carolina, suited up for 10 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2024. He played 236 snaps on special teams and just four snaps on defense in that span. Now, the 29-year-old safety will compete for a similar role in Denver.
