The Denver Broncos brought in four long snappers for tryouts on Friday, according to the NFL’s transaction wire.
Kameron Canaday, Joe Fortunato, Ryan Navarro and Matt Overton worked out for the team, but as of the time of this writing, none of them have been signed. All four specialists have spent time in the NFL, with Overton owning the most experience (126 games).
Denver’s current long snapper, Jacob Bobenmoyer, has done a fine job over the last two seasons, so the Broncos are probably just looking for candidates to consider down the road in case of injury.
Bobenmoyer is the only long snapper currently on the roster, but special teams coordinator Dwayne Stukes has made it clear that he likes having competition at every position.
“For me personally, I always thought that we should have six specialists in camp, so everybody is competing and nobody says, ‘I have a job, and I’ve made it,'” Stukes said on July 30. “When you put pressure on guys, that’s when you get the best out of guys and that’s what we’re looking for.”
The Broncos’ 90-man offseason roster is full, so if the team makes any signings, they would need to make corresponding roster moves to make room on the roster.
