The Denver Broncos have acquired former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Trent Sherfield on a two-year, $8 million contract. After bringing in some quality defensive players from the 2025 free agency market, Broncos head coach Sean Payton brings some extra pass-catching help for Bo Nix next season, per Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports.

“Sources: Free agent WR Trent Sherfield is signing with the #Broncos on a 2-year, $8M deal.”

Sherfield hauled in eight passes on nine targets for 83 yards and one touchdown for the Vikings in the 2024-25 season.

As the NFL Draft nears, the Broncos have their sights set on some of the talented weapons that dominated in college football last season.

Apparently, this is something that Payton wanted to check off the list over the offseason, per Schultz.

“Sean Payton has been wanting to add another veteran presence in his WR room for Bo Nix, so Trent Sherfield is an ideal fit for the #Broncos.”

Sherfield will likely compete for snaps with Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vele and Marvin Mims Jr. Don't rule out Payton's interest in another pass catcher through next month's draft, though the priority now turns to acquiring a tight end with one of their seven draft picks.
