The Denver Broncos plan to sign inside linebacker K.J. Cloyd to a reserve/future contract after their season ends, according to a report from The Draft Network’s Justin Melo.
Players who are not on an active roster at the end of the season are eligible to sign a reserve/future contract for the following league year. Cloyd (6-2, 228 pounds) is currently on Denver’s practice squad, so he will be eligible to sign a reserve/future deal after the Broncos’ season ends.
Players who sign future contracts are officially added to the team’s 90-man offseason roster when the NFL’s new league year begins in March. Denver will likely sign most of their practice squad players to future deals after the 2024 campaign comes to an end.
Cloyd entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out Miami with the Minnesota Vikings last spring. He later joined the New York Giants but failed to make their 53-man roster following training camp.
Cloyd initially signed with New York’s practice squad but was later waived. He signed with the Broncos’ practice squad in December.
