2 linebackers on Packers' roster bubble could interest Broncos
Two linebackers on the Packers' roster bubble could be of interest to the Broncos this week.
The Denver Broncos may take interest in two inside linebackers from the Green Bay Packers roster bubble, according to Zach Kruse of Packers Wire. The decision on which linebacker will secure the final backup spot on the Packers' 53-man roster will be made later this summer. If Kruse's prediction is accurate, the linebacker who does not secure the spot will be cut, potentially presenting an opportunity for the Broncos to monitor them on the waiver wire.
Zach Kruse believes that either linebacker, Nick Niemann or Kristian Welch, could be a valuable addition to the Broncos' linebacker room, as they both bring experience and contribute significantly in special teams. Niemann has 97 career tackles, three pass breakups, one interception, and one fumble recovery in 71 games, while Welch has 43 career tackles and one fumble recovery in 80 games.
Welch even had two starts with the Broncos in 2024. Both linebackers could provide immediate contributions to Denver's kicking game. Social media accounts for the Broncos Wire are available on Facebook and Twitter/X.
