DENVER — Quinn Bailey has been the most loyal of Broncos players.
Undrafted out of Arizona State, Bailey signed with the Broncos and spent the better part of his first four seasons on their practice squad.
He got his first NFL start in place of the injured Dalton Risner at left guard in the final game of the 2022 season, Bailey's fourth year.
“Not a lot of guys are on practice squads for four years before they get their first start,’’ Bailey said in a 9NEWS story at the time.
One of the quietest guys in the Broncos' locker room over the year, Bailey played in all 17 games, often as an extra offensive tackle, last year. Knowing he was not going to receive the $2.985 million low-tender as a restricted free agent this year, Bailey dutifully accepted the $1.055 million minimum salary for a player with three credited seasons.
