Broncos' Justin Strnad: Staying in Mile High City
Denver will sign Strnad to a one-year, $2.7 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Strnad played the best football of his career in 2024, racking up 73 tackles (48 solo) and 3.0 sacks over 17 games. He got extended run as a starter for the first time as a pro after Alex Singleton suffered a torn ACL in Week 3, but the free-agent signing of Dre Greenlaw to a large contract suggests Strnad will move back into a rotational role to start 2025.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Career year in 2024
Strnad logged 73 total tackles (48 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three passes defended across 17 regular-season games in 2024.
The 28-year-old from Wake Forest had the most productive season of his NFL career in 2024, setting new career highs in tackles, sacks and passes defended while playing 647 defensive snaps. Strnad filled in for the injured Alex Singleton (knee) with Denver's first-team defense, starting nine games this season. Following Strnad's best year as a pro, he's set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer. He's likely to serve as the Broncos' top reserve inside linebacker again if he returns to Denver in 2025.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Good to go vs. Packers
Strnad (groin) participated in warmups ahead of Sunday's preseason game against Green Bay, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Strnad sustained a groin injury that kept him out of Denver's preseason opener against Indianapolis on Aug. 11. Now healthy, he'll use Sunday's game to make his case for a depth inside linebacker spot on the Broncos' final 53-man roster. The 2020 fifth-round pick played all 389 of his snaps last year on special teams and finished with five tackles (four solo) across 17 regular-season games.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Decides to remain with Denver
Strnad agreed Tuesday with the Broncos on a one-year deal, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports.
Per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Strnad was reportedly close to signing a deal with the Panthers, but ultimately the 27-year-old elected to remain in Denver. He played in all 17 regular-season contests in 2023 but played solely on special teams and finished with just five tackles. The Wake Forest product is thus in line to serve as a depth linebacker and core special-teams contributor for Denver in 2024.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Gearing up for offseason program
Strnad (wrist) will be ready to participate when Broncos team workouts open up this spring, Ryan O'Halloran of The Denver Post reports.
The Broncos acquired Strnad in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, intrigued by the pass-defending skill set he showcased during his career at Wake Forest. After dislocating the lunate bone and suffering multiple torn ligaments in his wrist during an August practice, Strnad did not ultimately field a single snap during his rookie campaign. Strnad's rehabilitation process incorporated upper body exercises several weeks ago, according to Troy Renck of Denver7 News. Now, it's confirmed the linebacker will be ready to roll when offseason workouts begin in late April.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Season-ending wrist injury
Strnad will undergo wrist surgery and miss the 2020 season, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Although he's only a late fifth-round pick out of Wake Forest, Strnad was a candidate to provide upgraded coverage snaps over starting inside linebacker Todd Davis, who's currently sitting out with a calf injury. Strnad's absence might leave more snaps on Davis' plate when he gets over the calf issue, while the other inside linebacker spot will go to Alexander Johnson.
