A mid-season reinforcement in 2022, Hollins ended up notching 2.5 sacks in six games. The 27-year-old will hope to solidify his role as a situational pass-rusher. 

Jones is most recently of the Seahawks, but he played for new Broncos coach Sean Payton for two years in New Orleans. Jones is horribly inefficient in the running game and offers nothing as a receiver, but clearly there is something Payton likes. Even with Javonte Williams' (knee) 2023 health up in the air, we would not expect Jones to become a factor in Denver's backfield. 

Tight ends Johnny Mundt and Jared Pinkney were also placed on the COVID list. That brings the teams’ COVID-19 list up to 16 players. Hollins has appeared in four games this year, logging two sacks and one TFL as a rotational pass-rusher.

Hollins has an interesting draft profile as an athletic playmaker with special teams experience, but he couldn't shake his "tweener" status. Denver reportedly tried him at inside and outside linebacker, but neither stuck. Another coaching staff will give him a shot, perhaps on a practice squad.
