Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Hakeem Butler.
The Denver Broncos are adding an intriguing piece at wide receiver ahead of mandatory minicamp by signing 6-foot-5, 242-pound veteran and 2-time UFL Offensive Player of the Year Hakeem Butler.
“The Broncos are signing veteran WR and UFL offensive player of the year Hakeem Butler, sources say,” NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo wrote on his official X account on Monday. “A 2019 fourth-round pick of the Cardinals, Butler led the UFL with 641 yards receiving on 29 catches for the St. Louis Battlehawks and now joins Denver ahead of minicamp.”
Butler hasn’t played in an NFL regular-season game since 2020, with the Philadelphia Eagles and hasn’t been on an NFL offseason roster since 2024 with the Cincinnati Bengals.
