The Denver Broncos sign veteran wide receiver Hakeem Butler ahead of their mandatory minicamp, which is scheduled to begin this week. Multiple reports, citing NFL insider Mike Garafolo, say Butler joins the team after a standout season in the UFL with the St. Louis Battlehawks, where he leads the league in receiving production and is named Offensive Player of the Year. The Broncos are also adding other players around the same timeframe; one outlet reports Denver has agreed to terms with CB/PR/KR Sean Fresch.
Butler is a former 2019 NFL Draft fourth-round pick, selected by the Arizona Cardinals. He has spent time across NFL rosters since entering the league, and the current signing gives him another opportunity to return to the NFL following his spring-league success. The reports describe the Broncos’ move as coming shortly before minicamp, positioning Butler for offseason workouts and team evaluation.
