The Denver Broncos are signing Taylor Rapp, adding a veteran safety after he passed a physical in Denver. The move gives the Broncos another experienced defensive back as they sort out the depth chart behind Brandon Jones and Talanoa Hufunga.
Rapp, 28, comes with a long NFL résumé and a body of work that fits the role Denver is asking him to fill. He entered the league as a second-round pick out of Washington with the Los Angeles Rams in 2019, started 48 of the 57 games he was healthy for through four seasons in L.A., and finished that stretch with 330 tackles, 23 pass breakups, nine interceptions and 1.5 sacks.
His time with the Buffalo Bills was shorter but still substantial. Rapp played 16 games with four starts in 2023, then started all 14 games he was available for in 2024 before a season-ending knee injury cut short the first six games of the 2025 campaign. The Bills released him this spring, and the Broncos moved quickly once he cleared the physical.
That medical check matters because Denver is not signing a name off reputation alone. Rapp, listed at 6-0 and 208 pounds, has 488 career tackles, 31 pass breakups and 12 interceptions in 93 games with 72 starts, and the Broncos are bringing him in to compete for a role, not just fill a camp body.
He joins a safety group where the battle for rotational snaps already includes Devon Key, JL Skinner, Tycen Anderson, Miles Scott and Parker Robertson. The addition raises the floor of the room, but it also leaves one practical question hanging over Denver's roster: who gets moved to make space for him?
