Reid Holskey Has Played Exactly Zero Regular Season Games, and the Broncos Just Signed Him. What Does That Say About the AFC West?
Alright, listen up 12s! Usually, my feed is blowing up with everything Emerald City, but sometimes, even the most die-hard green and blue fan has gotta peek at what the other guys in the league are up to. And let me tell you, the AFC West just threw us a curveball with a signing that's got me scratching my head a bit. The Denver Broncos, yeah, *those* Broncos, have officially agreed to a one-year deal with offensive lineman Reid Holskey, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. You heard that right. A one-year deal for a guy who, get this, has never stepped on an NFL regular season field.
Who Even *Is* This Guy, Seriously?
So, the details are out there, and they're kinda wild. Reid Holskey is 24 years old, and he entered the league back in 2025 as an undrafted free agent. Since then, he's bounced around a bit, spending time with the Texans and the Ravens. Most recently, he was with the Giants, but they waived him just last month. And here's the kicker, the part that makes you go "huh?" - Holskey has not appeared in a single regular-season game. Not one! Zero snaps, zero plays that count on the official record. So, what exactly are the Broncos seeing here? Are they banking on some hidden potential, or is this a sign of... well, something else?

An Early Roster Move That Speaks Volumes?
Every team is trying to build out its roster right now, especially as we get closer to the real grind. Teams are looking for depth, for diamonds in the rough, for anyone who can step up. But signing a 24-year-old offensive lineman with literally no regular-season experience? That feels like a move that tells you a story. Is Denver trying to get super creative with their O-line, hoping Holskey is some kind of undiscovered talent? Or does it highlight some serious needs they're still trying to address? Either way, it's an interesting early season roster shake-up for a team we're always keeping an eye on in the AFC West. It just reminds you that every single decision, no matter how small it seems, can tell you something about a team's strategy and where they're at.
While the Broncos are out there scooping up guys with zero game experience, our Hawks under Coach Macdonald are quietly building something special. We've got Sam Darnold under center, throwing to weapons like Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed. That's where our focus is, on the grit and talent right here in Lumen Field. We'll keep an eye on the AFC West, always, because we're the 12s, we know what's up. But for now, let's just wait and see what the real competition looks like on the field when the season kicks off. Until then, Go Hawks!
