The\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0are bringing back a familiar face to their receiving corps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Sports Illustrated noted, according to ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter, the Broncos are signing wide receiver\u00a0Lil\u2019Jordan Humphrey\u00a0off the\u00a0New York Giants\u2019\u00a0practice squad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Denver reportedly attempted to re-sign him during free agency last spring, but he opted to join New York.<\/p>\n
Now, a midseason roster opening gave both sides a chance to reunite.<\/p>\n
Head coach Sean Payton\u2019s connection to Humphrey runs deep.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old receiver originally played under Payton with the\u00a0New Orleans Saints.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He later reunited with him in Denver during the 2023 and 2024 seasons.<\/p>\n
During his time with the Broncos, Humphrey became a quiet but valuable contributor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was known for his blocking, physical presence, and ability to fill multiple roles on offense and special teams<\/p>\n
\u201cLJ\u2019s the kind of player every coach loves. He\u2019s physical, tough, and does the little things that don\u2019t always show up on the stat sheet,\u201d Payton said last season<\/p>\n
Humphrey appeared in 34 career games prior to his stint with the\u00a0Giants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He hauled in 44 receptions for 455 yards and four touchdowns.\u00a0<\/p>\n
So far this season in New York, he\u2019s managed just four receptions for 55 yards.<\/p>\n
His return to Denver could spark his play, as he\u2019s more comfortable in Sean Payton\u2019s system and familiar with the offense.<\/p>\n
The Broncos offense has struggled with consistency and depth at wide receiver so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Humphrey\u2019s return adds both familiarity and flexibility.<\/p>\n
He knows Payton\u2019s system, understands Denver\u2019s run-heavy schemes, and has shown he can contribute when called upon.<\/p>\n
In 2023, Humphrey appeared in 17 games for the Broncos.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He caught 13 passes for 162 yards and three touchdowns while playing 40% of the team\u2019s special teams snaps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His ability to line up in multiple spots, wide, slot, or even tight splits near the line, gives Denver added versatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bringing Humphrey back isn\u2019t a headline-grabbing move, however, it\u2019s a classic Sean Payton signing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He brings in a trusted veteran who knows the system, fills a specific role, and brings immediate value to both offense and special teams.<\/p>\n
And with\u00a0Marvin Mims dealing with an injury, Humphrey\u2019s addition brings some important depth.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown.<\/p>\n
For someone who makes over $30 million per year,\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0wide receiver\u00a0A.J. Brown\u00a0sure does complain a lot. Most of his complaints, somehow, seem to come after his team wins games.<\/p>\n
The latest complaint from Brown \u2014 and it\u2019s honestly hard to keep track of\u00a0how much he\u2019s complained at this point\u00a0\u2014 came on a livestream video with podcaster Janky Rondo on Tuesday night in which Brown called the Eagles\u2019 season a \u201cS\u2013t Show\u201d when asked how things have been going for Brown and if he was OK.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo,\u201d\u00a0Brown replied\u00a0as he played the Madden 26 video game. \u201cWhere have you been? \u2026 Family\u2019s good. Everything else? No \u2026 It\u2019s a s\u2013t show \u2026 if you got me in fantasy (football), get rid of me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown\u2019s latest online diss came just one day after the Eagles improved to 7-2 with a 10-7, Week 10 road win over the\u00a0Green Bay Packers\u00a0on Monday Night Football in which Brown had 2 receptions for 13 yards on 3 targets.<\/p>\n
The Eagles are trying to win a second consecutive Super Bowl this year, and with Brown as one of their highest paid players after he signed a 3-year, $96 million contract extension before last season.<\/p>\n
For Brown, the pattern of criticizing his team and taking veiled, passive aggressive shots at his teammates then backtracking\u00a0goes back several years. It also only seems to come when his team wins but he doesn\u2019t put up big numbers.<\/p>\n
If people on the internet are getting sick of Brown\u2019s constant complaining when his team is winning, imagine how his teammates must feel who have to deal with him in real life.<\/p>\n
\u201cA.J. Brown\u00a0just slappin all of his teammates in the face yet again!\u201d\u00a0Sports Radio 94 WIP\u2019s Hunter Brody\u00a0wrote on his official X account on November 12.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe media has stirred up drama at times, but this certainly isn\u2019t one of those situations,\u201d\u00a0The Philly Special\u2019s Anthony DiBona\u00a0wrote on his official X account. \u201cA.J. Brown\u00a0is doing more than enough on his own to fan the flames in Philadelphia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The target of Brown\u2019s passive aggressive vitriol is almost always the same \u2014 quarterback\u00a0Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s a relationship issue,\u201d\u00a0former Eagles wide receiver Jason Avant said. \u201cThat\u2019s my thing. I think that this has nothing to do with, I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s football only. I think this is these two guys used to be best friends, and they\u2019re not. And I think that it\u2019s a hard situation to deal with.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brown has 31 receptions for 408 yards and 3 touchdowns in 8 games \u2014 he missed one game with a hamstring injury \u2014 and is on track to have his worst statistical season as a pro.<\/p>\n
\u201cAJ\u00a0Brown\u00a0is\u00a0a\u00a0diva,\u201d\u00a0NFL reporter James Nagle wrote on his official X account. \u201cAt the same time, you\u2019d be hard-pressed to find\u00a0a\u00a0WR of his caliber who isn\u2019t. He\u2019s the best WR in\u00a0Eagles\u00a0history & after 16 years without\u00a0a\u00a0true WR1, I truly couldn\u2019t care less what he says on social media. Anyone who wants him gone is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
