Broncos roster: DB Delarrin Turner-Yell (No. 32) looks to win back spot on special teams
Broncos Wire's 90-man offseason roster series continues today with a look at fourth-year safety Delarrin Turner-Yell, No. 32.
Before the Broncos: Turner-Yell (5-11, 200 pounds) spent four years at the University of Oklahoma, playing 40 games for the Sooners from 2018-21. Turner-Yell made 153 total tackles (134 solo, 57 assisted, 11 tackles for loss) in college, four interceptions, six pass deflections and one forced fumble.
Broncos tenure: Turner-Yell was selected by the Denver Broncos in the fifth round (152nd overall) of the 2022 NFL draft, after Denver's second-round pick and teammate, pass rusher Nik Bonitto. In 2022, Turner-Yell played 251 snaps on special teams, playing in 14 games, making eight total tackles (six solo, two assisted) along with two fumble recoveries, which accounted for the entirety of his on-field action.
In 2023, Turner-Yell started two games, playing in 16. He grabbed one pass deflection, 34 total tackles (26 solo, eight assisted) and one quarterback hit. Turner-Yell played 71 percent of special teams snaps during 2023. In 2024, Turner-Yell missed the season while working his way back from an ACL injury. The team opted not to bring him back from the physically unable to perform list before the deadline to return.
Chances to make the 53-man roster: Toss-up. Turner-Yell was a key special teams player from 2022-2023, but the Broncos have a crowded safety depth chart going into 2025. DTY will get an opportunity to make the squad this summer, and his special teams contributions will help his chances.

NBA free agency opens with Spurs, Rockets, Hawks, Magic and Mavs among those making early moves
By TIM REYNOLDS Victor Wembanyama has another big man to help him out in San Antonio. The Houston Rockets continued their offseason overhaul. And Orlando and Atlanta made moves with eyes on contending this coming season on Monday as the NBA's free agency period got underway. The Spurs lured center Luke Kornet away from Boston with a four-year, $41 million deal, a person with knowledge of the agreement told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the team cannot announce the deal until the league's signing moratorium for most contracts is lifted on Sunday. Kornet was part of Boston's 2024 NBA title team and has shot 68% from the field in 205 games, mostly off the bench, over the last three regular seasons. He figures to add frontcourt depth to the Spurs, who are hoping to have Wembanyama — the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year and an All-Star this past season — back and ready to go after he was diagnosed with deep vein thrombosis in a shoulder back in February. The Rockets, meanwhile, added veteran forward Dorian Finney-Smith on a four-year, $53 million deal shortly after free agency opened. ESPN first reported the deal, and a person with knowledge of the agreement confirmed the terms to AP. Houston becomes Finney-Smith's fourth team after stints with Dallas, Brooklyn and the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll be added to a Rockets club that earlier this summer landed Kevin Durant in a blockbuster trade with Phoenix, though that deal cannot receive formal approval from the NBA until next week. Finney-Smith averaged 8.7 points and was a 41% shooter from 3-point range this past season. ESPN also reported that the Rockets' run on free agents continued with the addition of center Clint Capela, who spent the first six years of his career in Houston before playing for the last five seasons in Atlanta. Capela agreed to a three-year deal with the Rockets, ESPN said. Dallas, which needed some point guard help especially because the newly re-signed Kyrie Irving — rehabbing from an ACL tear — may not be ready to play until about midseason, agreed with D'Angelo Russell on a two-year contract worth nearly $13 million. Russell would be part of the backcourt depth on a club with an imposing front line that, if healthy, would include No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg, 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis and promising young center Dereck Lively II. Atlanta added Nickeil Alexander-Walker from Minnesota on what will be a four-year, $62 million deal following a completion of a sign-and-trade with the Timberwolves. Minnesota will get a draft pick, cash considerations and will create a trade exception once the deal is finalized, a person with knowledge of the move told AP. The Magic, meanwhile, added Tyus Jones on a one-year deal. He joins an Orlando roster that already landed Desmond Bane from Memphis in a trade, and the Magic — who played long stretches last season without Paolo Banchero, Franz Wagner and Jalen Suggs because of injuries — should be a legit East contender this season if healthy. It was a big night for the Jones family: Tyus Jones' brother, Tre Jones, agreed Monday on a three-year deal to return to the Chicago Bulls. The free agency period officially opened at 6 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, but in actuality, was rolling long before that. LeBron James has already opted in to a $52.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Lakers for this coming season, the Rockets traded for Durant — not a free agency move, obviously — and the Los Angeles Clippers saw James Harden decline his option in return for a new deal and a raise. There was even a surprise addition to free agency, with Portland announcing it has bought out the contract of former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton, allowing him to sign with any team he chooses. And on Monday, even before the shopping window officially started, more deals: Nicolas Batum will come back to the Clippers, his agency said, on a two-year deal, while Joe Ingles agreed to return to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Deals like those could get done before the official start time because teams are allowed to negotiate with their own free agents once the NBA Finals are finished. In other deals confirmed by AP on Monday night: — Center Kevon Looney agreed to a two-year deal with New Orleans, after he spent his first 10 seasons with Golden State. — Guard Caris LeVert will sign a two-year deal worth nearly $15 million annually with the Detroit Pistons, a team that won 14 games in 2023-24 and then won 44 games to earn the No. 6 seed in the Eastern Conference this past season. The NBA announced Monday that it has set the salary cap for the coming season at $154.647 million, the maximum allowed 10% increase over the level for this past season. The tax level for the 2025-26 season is $187.895 million, the league said. — Julius Randle returns to the Timberwolves with a potential $100 million deal. — Bobby Portis stays with the Bucks, keeping the popular sixth man in Milwaukee. — Duncan Robinson terminates his contract with the Heat, though he may return. In very specific situations, teams can announce signings when completed. But in most situations, and this even applies to some draft-related trades (such as the one involving Durant going to Houston), teams won't be able to announce those until at least July 6. ___ AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon in Dallas contributed to this story. ___ AP NBA:
