According to Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos have signed linebacker Kristian Welch. In a corresponding move they waived undrafted rookie linebacker Levelle Bailey to make room for Welch on their 53-man roster.
Welch played his collegiate football at the University of Iowa where he was a team captain and starter for one season. He went undrafted in the 2020 NFL Draft and signed shortly after with the Baltimore Ravens. He spent three seasons with them. In 2023, he wound up signing with the Green Bay Packers after being waived by the Ravens in their final round of cuts.
