The Denver Broncos have reached an agreement on a one-year deal with tight end Eric Tomlinson, KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis reported Tuesday. The contract will not become official until the NFL’s new league year begins on Wednesday afternoon.
Tomlinson (6-6, 263 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of UTEP with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2015. He went on to spend time with eight different teams from 2015-2021, most recently with the Baltimore Ravens.
Tomlinson, 29, will presumably be asked to contribute primarily on special teams with his offensive contributions coming mostly as a blocker. He caught just one passes for seven yards in 17 games with the Ravens last year.
