Adkins is returning to Denver for a fourth season after notching 24 catches for 185 yards and four TDs on 31 targets in 36 games across his previous three regular seasons with the Broncos. Evan Engram and Adam Trautman continue to occupy the top two spots on Denver's TE depth chart, leaving Adkins in competition for a depth role against Lucas Krull and rookie draft picks Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley.
