The Denver Broncos have officially signed running backs Cody Schrader and Deuce Vaughn to reserve/future contracts, per @AdamSchefter. The move allows the organization to secure both players for the upcoming offseason and training camp as they look to bolster their backfield depth heading into the new league year.
Cody Schrader joins the Broncos after a prolific collegiate career at Missouri, where he led the SEC in rushing yards during his final season. Since entering the NFL as an undrafted free agent, Schrader has spent time with both the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. His addition provides Denver with a physical runner who has proven production at the highest level of college football.
Deuce Vaughn comes to Denver after previously being selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The former Kansas State standout became a fan favorite in Dallas and appeared in several games over the last two seasons. Known for his agility and pass-catching ability, Vaughn offers a different dynamic to the Broncos' offensive options.
By signing reserve/future contracts, both Schrader and Vaughn will be added to the Broncos' 90-man roster when the new league year begins. These deals are standard for players not on an active roster at the end of the regular season, giving them an opportunity to compete for a spot during spring workouts and training camp.
