Broncos expected to sign ex-Saints wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith

Well this couldn’t have been more obvious. The New Orleans Saints released  Tre’Quan Smith from injured reserve this week and he was in Denver just 24 hours later visiting with the Broncos — and now the wide receiver is expected to sign with them, per 9 News Denver’s Mike Klis.

Klis adds that Smith has received offers from other interested teams but the expectation is that the Broncos will be the ones to get him to sign on the dotted line. Who knew that a blocking specialist coming off a groin muscle injury that sidelined him all summer would be such a hot draw on the free agent market?

Still, good for Smith. He’s caught a lot of flak from disgruntled Saints fans for his limitations and injury history, but he’s always given the team everything he had competing for tough catches and taking some big hits from opposing defenders. He’s never lashed out at his critics online or taken his complaints to the media. We’ll wish him well with this opportunity in Denver working with his old coach Sean Payton.
