New head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton identified offensive line upgrades as one of the team's priorities when discussing how to improve the Broncos in 2023.

Powers, a left guard with the Ravens, will replace Broncos free agent Dalton Risner. In the event Risner returns or Denver finds a preferred left guard, Powers also started at right guard during his second season in Baltimore.

Powers was a fourth-round pick out of Oklahoma in 2019.

Backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham also agreed to terms with the Broncos. He'll reportedly ink a two-year, $10 million deal to back up Russell Wilson in Denver after playing for the New England Patriots and Las Vegas Raiders.
