Player News
Ex-Broncos S Darian Stewart has announced his retirement after 11 seasons.
The decision was sadly made for Stewart, as he failed to latch on anywhere this season after making 13 appearances for the 2019 Bucs. A 2010 UDFA, Stewart will be most remembered for his time with the Broncos, including a 2015-16 postseason run where he picked off Tom Brady in the AFC Championship Game and made plays all over the field in the Super Bowl. Now 32, Stewart hangs up his cleats as a one-time Pro Bowler.
Stewart signed a contract with the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.
Stewart spent the last four seasons in Denver, where he served as a key member of the team's secondary. The former Pro Bowl safety now has a clear path to snaps in Tampa Bay, with Mike Edwards (hamstring), Justin Evans (heel), D'Cota Dixon (undisclosed) and Orion Stewart (knee) all sporting injuries.
Stewart took a visit to Indianapolis earlier this week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The former Pro Bowl safety was let go by Denver on March 6, and seems to be starting to take visits to find a new home for 2019. With projected starting safety Clayton Geathers recovering from minor surgery on his knee this offseason, Stewart could fill the void if the former is held out. There was no promise of a contract, but the 30-year-old is coming off a 60-tackle, two-interception performance in 2018.
Darian Stewart and the Broncos have agreed to a four-year, $28M extension.
28-year-old, Darian Stewart has recorded three interceptions and 45 tackles this year. His extension will add depth and consistency to an already strong Denver defense.
