New Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds will help offset the loss of Jerry Jeudy

The Denver Broncos signed free agent wide receiver Josh Reynolds to a two-year contract on Wednesday.

Reynolds was a fourth-round pick by the Los Angeles Rams back in 2017. He has spent the last two and a half years with the Detroit Lions, where he caught 97 passes for 1,393 yards and 10 touchdowns. Reynolds has spent most of his career as a quality depth player, but he’ll have an opportunity at a starting role with the Broncos.

New Denver Broncos WR Josh Reynolds will help offset the loss of Jerry Jeudy

The Broncos traded former first-round receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns a few weeks ago. Jeudy never lived up to expectations in Denver, but still leaves a big void behind in the Broncos’ offense. Reynolds could be the guy who fills it, but he’ll have some competition from second year WR Marvin Mims Jr., who proved to be a lethal deep threat last year.

Reynolds will also have some competition from Tim Patrick, who’s looking to re-establish himself after back-to-back season ending injuries suffered during the offseason. It’s probably safe to say that Courtland Sutton will be Denver’s top option at receiver, but Reynolds could start opposite of him.

Reynolds is a big target at 6-foot-1 and is one of the better run blocking receivers in the league. He tied a career high in touchdown catches with five last season and filled in admirably for Jameson Williams during his suspension. If nothing else, Reynolds should provide quality depth and experience to a Broncos receiving corps that has more question marks than answers.
