After a big Week 13 win, the Denver Broncos are 10-2 and looking to maintain their spot atop the AFC West and potentially earn a first-round bye.
While the Broncos are in great shape record-wise, the offense could use some extra work. Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant, and Marvin Mims make up a decent wide receiver room, but the Broncos could still use some more depth.
Fortunately, a great depth option is coming to Denver. According to NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero, the Broncos are signing former Buffalo Bills, New York Jets, and Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore to their roster.
Broncos to sign former Bills, Jets, Browns WR Elijah Moore
"Veteran WR Elijah Moore is signing to the Broncos practice squad, per source." Pelissero writes, "Now on his fourth team in five NFL seasons, Moore has 209 career catches for 2,274 yards and nine TDs."
While Moore has bounced around the NFL in his career, a year ago, from the day he signed with the Broncos, with the Browns, Moore put up eight catches for 111 yards on 14 targets in the wild Broncos-Browns showdown from 2024.
Moore, with the Bills in nine games this season, caught nine of 17 targets for 112 yards and no touchdowns. But on the ground, he received six rushes, which he took for 24 yards and one touchdown.

He isn't the best wide receiver, but he's a good player after the catch, and getting the ball into his hands is a good move for whichever offense he's a part of.
The Broncos lack depth in their wide receiver room, with Lil'Jordan Humphrey the only other WR on the active roster behind Mims, Sutton, Bryant, and Franklin.
Moore won't be an instant difference maker, but he should be able to factor into the game plan with a few trick plays or short routes to utilize his after-the-catch ability.
It's a low-risk, high-reward depth signing for the Broncos, and it's an interesting signing for Denver to make this late in the season.
