The Denver Broncos placed one-year tenders on all five of their exclusive rights free agents on Tuesday, including tight end Lucas Krull.
The ERFA tenders are worth the league minimum. For a player with two years of experience like Krull, that's $1,030,000. That marks a raise from the $915,000 Krull earned last season, but the contract is not guaranteed, so it provides little assurance of making the team.
Krull (6-6, 260 pounds) entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of Pittsburgh with the New Orleans Saints in 2022. After spending his rookie season on their practice squad, Krull was cut by the Saints following training camp in 2023.
Krull then joined Denver's practice squad and he ended up dressing for seven games that season. Krull appeared in 13 games last fall, hauling in 19 receptions for 152 yards. Through two seasons (20 games) with the Broncos, Krull has totaled 27 catches for 247 yards and one touchdown. He'll now get another chance to compete for a role this summer.
