Eric Hagg, a third-year NFL safety, notified the Broncos he plans to retire.
Hagg, 24, played at Nebraska before he became a seventh-round pick of the Cleveland Browns and then-general manager Tom Heckert in the 2011 draft.
Hagg played in 11 games as a rookie and 12 in his second season of 2012, including four as a starter. However, the Browns cleaned house after the 2012 season. Heckert became the Broncos’ director of pro personnel while Hagg was waived by the Browns prior to the 2013 season.
The Broncos signed Hagg to a futures contract in January. His retirement would leave the Broncos with 88 players on their 90-man preseason roster.
