Tramaine Brock, age 29

Tramaine Brock’s career took a very unfortunate turn last offseason.

He was accused of domestic violence and though the charges were later dropped, Brock was released from the San Francisco 49ers and wound up signing with the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks signed their former division rival in hopes that he could help revitalize the Legion of Boom, but Brock never played a snap for them.

Seattle traded Brock to the Minnesota Vikings before the start of the regular season, and snaps were hard to come by for the former 49er.

As you can see here, Brock led all cornerbacks in regular season snaps in 2016, which is the last time he really played any meaningful snaps.

The Broncos are hoping a reunion with Vance Joseph — who coached him in San Francisco — and a prominent role on a talented defense can help Brock revive his NFL career.

Brock allowed some big plays and too many touchdowns in 2016, but he also didn’t allow many catches in throws to his coverage.

It was a bizarre season for him, but Brock has skills and toughness in defending the run.
