ArticleDenver Broncos roster review: Tight end Adam TrautmanAugust 2, 2026

From the article

He's not the high-ceiling tight end this roster is yearning for (and has been for years, honestly). He wasn't paid like that because both he and the Broncos know what his fit is on this team.

Trautman is a floor play, not a ceiling play; his contract reflects realistic expectations.

Trautman is not a high-ceiling tight end and was not paid like one; both he and the Broncos know his fit is as a solid, reliable starter rather than a ceiling-upside play. The source sees him as fairly average at run blocking but valuable as a pass catcher who can keep drives on schedule.
