Report: Broncos sign veteran punter Matt Haack to a one-year deal

According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos have signed veteran punter Matt Haack to a one-year deal worth $1.225 million dollars. He is a 30-year-old lefty veteran punter who will now join a likely punting competition in Denver.

The Broncos saw Riley Dixon leave via free agency and have moved on to veteran punter, Matt Haack. He was an undrafted free agent back in 2017 and signed with the Miami Dolphins where newly hired Broncos special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi was coaching at the time. He played there through the 2020 season and has bounced around since. He spent the 2021 season with the Bills, the 2022 season with the Colts, stints with the Cardinals, Browns, and Bills again in 2023, and last season with the Giants and Jaguars.

Haack’s last full-time stint as a punter was back in 2022 with the Colts. Since then, he has appeared in just five games in the past two seasons. One game with the Browns in 2023 and four games with the Giants last season. So, Haack probably will not be the only punter brought in by the Broncos this offseason.

His connection with Rizzi is what brought him to Denver but now, I would expect another punter to be added at some point before the start of training camp. We could see another veteran added, potentially a late-round draft pick or UDFA, and there is always the UFL who have produced specialists in recent years. 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis has confirmed this and states that it will likely be a late-round draft pick or a UDFA from the draft.

So, we’ll see a punting competition this summer. We’ll see who the Broncos bring in as competition and if either of these two are the answer at punter for the team moving forward.
