On September 17, KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson said on X, “#Broncos signing former #Chargers linebacker Andrew Farmer to practice squad per a league source.”
In 2023, Farmer was a Division II free agent out of Lane College who was not selected.
In his eight appearances, he registered three tackles. According to Pro Football Reference, Farmer played 60 defensive snaps, or 12% of the total snap share. On special teams, the farmer played 48 snaps (60 percent share).

In 2022, the farmer experienced a notable regression with 6.0 sacks.
