After being let go by the New Orleans Saints, wide receiver Tre’Quan Smith is visiting the Denver Broncos, per 9 News Denver’s Mike Klis. Smith has an opportunity to team up with his old coach Sean Payton who has struggled to get the Broncos going amid his 0-3 start. Smith was recently released from the Saints injured reserve list after missing the first three games and most of training camp with a groin issue.
Klis reports that Smith will arrive in Denver on Wednesday night for an entry physical and visit at the team facility. If all goes well, he’ll likely sign with the Broncos — joining old teammates like Lil’Jordan Humphrey, Wil Lutz, Jordan Jackson, Dwayne Washington, Michael Burton, Chris Manhertz, Lucas Krull, and Adam Trautman. There has been no shortage of former Saints players in Denver under Payton’s management of the team. Another former Saints wideout, Marquez Callaway, spent the summer with the Broncos before joining the Las Vegas Raiders practice squad after roster cuts in August.
Will Smith join them too? We’ll have to wait and see, but there’s a lot of interest. It’s unlikely he’ll singlehandedly turn things around for Payton’s team but it’s clear that they see a vision for him to help their team.
