Eric Saubert

Saubert was another player on a one-year deal and though he wasn’t brought in to put up huge offensive numbers, he was available for every game this season and did what was asked of him.

Saubert finished the season with eight catches for 47 yards and one touchdown, but he provides the kind of veteran depth the team can count on behind Noah Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam.

There likely won’t be a huge market for Saubert’s services around the league so the Broncos could bring him back on another small deal to compete with Shaun Beyer again for the No. 3 tight end spot, barring another rookie being added at the position in the draft.

Saubert fits into the mold of a low-risk player that the team can call on when needed. These are the kind of players Paton can round out the roster with and it’s not going to cost much to do so.

Decision: Keep
