The Denver Broncos have been assigned cornerback Essang Bassey and punter Corliss Waitman off the NFL’s waiver wire, the team announced Monday.
Bassey (5-10, 190 pounds) started his career in Denver after joining the team as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest in 2020. He had a brief stint with the Los Angeles Chargers last season before being waived in January.
Waitman (6-2, 210 pounds) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as a college free agent out of South Alabama in 2019. He went on to spend time with the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots before returning to the Steelers last year, appearing in two games. Waitman will presumably compete with Sam Martin at punter this offseason.
