Official Broncos Cut Thread

[Zweems56]

Didn't see one, but I figured we should have a list somewhere. Schefter just said on twitter that we cut Dan Gronkowski

Not a great day for the Gronkowski brothers: Chris Gronkowski and Dan Gronkowski both have been told they will be cut.

Final list

WR David Anderson released
DE Jeremy Beal waived
CB Brandon Bing waived
LB Alvin Bowen waived
DT Ronnell Brown waived
G Jeff Byers waived
CB Perrish Cox waived
G Stanley Daniels waived
WR Britt Davis waived
WR D’Andre Goodwin waived
T Adam Grant waived
TE Dan Gronkowski waived
K Steven Hauschka waived
DT Jeremy Jarmon waived
RB Jeremiah Johnson waived
S Kyle McCarthy waived
G Eric Olsen waived
WR Greg Orton waived
DT DeMario Pressley waived
WR Eron Riley waived
LB Lee Robinson waived
TE Dante Rosario released
RB Austin Sylvester waived
QB Adam Weber waived

In addition, WR Jamel Hamler, RB Brandon Minor and CB Syd'Quan Thompson were placed on injured reserve.

[UnderArmour]

Dante Rosario was also released per Rotoworld.


Broncos released TE Dante Rosario.
A good pass catcher, Rosario's release comes as a bit of a surprise since he played for new Broncos HC John Fox the past four seasons in Carolina. However, his numbers have never quite matched his athleticism. Denver appears set to go with Daniel Fells as its primary tight end.

[Ravage!!!]

rough day on the TEs

[Ziggy]

Britt Davis cut also, this states that Matt Willis will not be cut. No surprise there.

Huh. Well that Alphonso Smith trade sure went well.

[Ziggy]

Stanley Daniels gone

[Northman]

Hmmmm, word is Donald Brown is on the bubble for Indy. I would LOVE to pick him up.

[Northman]

Doesnt look like Weber is expected to make the cut.


"You really are just day to day," said Broncos rookie quarterback Adam Weber, who will not earn a spot on 53-man unless something unexpected happens this weekend but certainly has earned a potential spot on the practice squad.

Wow. What a disappointment he became for Indy. Better than our current backs? Maybe.

[Northman]

Certainly wouldnt hurt.

[Zweems56]

Cox released as well


Perrish Cox released by Broncos. Any teams looking for a good, young CB should jump. Good starts under his belt.

[TXBRONC]

I had always thought Gronkowski was on the bubble at the very least. He didn't get to play much in preseason and neither did Rosario. Thomas was going to make it for sure and Green was going be pretty safe even though he was 6th round pick.

[UnderArmour]

Cox released as well

That sucks. I liked the way he's played so far but it's unlikely that any team picks him up until he resolves his legal troubles. He'll be back on our roster if he is found not guilty. Otherwise, he'll get exactly what he deserves.

[TXBRONC]

Wow. What a disappointment he became for Indy. Better than our current backs? Maybe.

Imo I don't think Brown would be an improvement over the backs we have choose from. I honestly think Lance Ball is very comparable to Brown. Also I like Jeremiah Johnson.

[Northman]

Cox has been up and down and inconsistent. The fact he has the off field issues hanging over his head probably didnt help matters any. He would probably be a good nickel back for a contending team.

[Northman]

Imo I don't think Brown would be an improvement over the backs we have choose from. I honestly think Lance Ball is very comparable to Brown. Also I like Jeremiah Johnson.

Noooooooo. Have to disagree there. Johnson has a lot of speed but doesnt have the power that Brown does. Ball? He's ok but not on Brown's level to me. I question more the fact that Indy rarely uses RB's as it is and just needed the space rather than Brown having poor play.

Well, they did use a first round pick on him just 2 years ago (well, 2009, so three drafts ago and two seasons), so I don't think they cut him just for space. It has to be due to the fact that he's not playing up to expectations. That, or is injured more than we realize and the Colts aren't willing to take a chance on that any longer.

[LTC Pain]

I've also read that Tashard Choice of the Cowboys may be on the bubble due to injuries.

Could be, and although he missed 8 games he also did well in limited time sharing carries with Addai. I think it just comes down to money and space personally. They rarely use the RB and with Hart playing pretty well it clears up more cap room cutting ties with Brown. Either way, i think he shines elsewhere.

Gronk getting cut means
the rookie TE Virgil Green made the team


I think.

We wont know about these guys
until after the waiver wire pickups.

Cox got cut Thursday night while he was still in uniform..
he just didn't know it.

Riley, Anderson and McCarthy kind of surprise me. Especially McCarthy....

[Buff]

Cox has played well enough to earn a roster spot... But not well enough to earn a roster spot with a rape trial coming up.

[PAINTERDAVE]

I did not expect them to cut McCarthy...

Riley looked good..
He will find work quickly.

They cut the wrong Orton.

[PAINTERDAVE]

Cox has played well enough to earn a roster spot... But not well enough to earn a roster spot with a rape trial coming up.

Cox is a great athlete...
he just is inconsistant as a football player...
and unnacceptable as a human being.

Riley, Anderson and McCarthy kind of surprise me. Especially McCarthy....

I guess Willis' knee is fully healed and they think he is healthy..
they kept him over Anderson ad Riley both.

Wow. The Anderson and Riley cuts surprised me. And Ryan McBean made the team???


Looks like we're going to pick up a lot of guys off waivers in the next day or so.

[chazoe60]

Why cut McCarthey? That surprises me.

[BigDaddyBronco]

Why cut McCarthey? That surprises me.
McCarthy looked much better than McBath in my opinion. I guess Carter will back up Dawkins and Moore will start. Bruton too valuable at ST I guess.

For now. I think both the OLine and DLine will change with the waiver wire.

[Zweems56]

Updated the front page

[nevcraw]

Cox released as well

Looks like Loraina Bobbit got to him..

[Ziggy]

Why cut McCarthey? That surprises me.

McBath is a better special teams player. With Bruton and McBath both on the final roster, it looks like the new regime is putting a ton of importance on special teams.

[Tned]

Starting Oline and Dline or backups?

[UnderArmour]

I'm crossing my fingers hoping we can keep McCarthy and Riley on the practice squad. Those guys looked good when given a chance to make plays.

[Buff]

I'd never heard of LB Mike Mohamed or Chris Harris the defensive back until I went and looked at the depth chart just now.

[Ziggy]

Mohamed was a draft pick. Harris was an undrafted free agent. Harris was a special teams star in the preseason.

[Ziggy]

Jeremy Jarmon is the cut that surprised me the most. He played well at both end and DT during camp and preseason games. I'm very surprised that we kept Derrick Harvey over him.

[LTC Pain]

Who makes the practice squad?

Riley
Beal
Bing
Weber
Grant
Johnson
McCarthy
?

Add Eric Olsen and that's close as I can guess.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Kyle McCarthy is the biggest surprise on that list for me. He played much better than McBath and Bruton at Safety. Interesting...

Why are we keeping Hochstein???

[Ziggy]

Russ Hochstein, Manny Ramirez and Chris Clark are all on the final roster right now. It wouldn't surprise me if 2 of those 3 were replaced with waiver wire claims and FA pickups.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

So, we kept Hauschka? So we have two kickers and yet, we let Kyle McCarthy go? Makes NO SENSE...

**EDIT** Well, Hauschka doesn't show up on the final roster. Was he released earlier?

Don't think he was released earlier. All cuts were made today, I think

[HORSEPOWER 56]

:whoknows: I don't get it, either. Maybe they've penciled him in at backup Center to Walton seeing as how we cut Eric Olsen?

If anyone should be stocking shelves, it's Hochstein. For the amount of game experience he has, he still plays like a 3rd tier player.

Backups.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

So, we traded away a serviceable WR in Gaffney for a DE/DT in Jarmon that we cut? That sucks. We probably could've at least gotten a late round pick for Gaffney instead of a guy we turned around and cut.

Bad trade. Xanders sucks.

I dont believe Eron Riley will clear waiver.

We traded a guy who would have been cut for a guy that ended up on the final cut. Sounds like a wash to me.

Eagles cut Anthony Hargrove and Derek Landri. Either would be an improvement over Unrein and McBean.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

You think Gaffney would've been cut? Over a guy like Willis or some other camp body? They say we have 5 WRs on the roster, but that's counting D Thomas. Really, we only have 4 WRs who can play right now (Royal, Decker, lloyd, and WIllis)seeing as how we released both Anderson and Riley - of whom I expected one or the other to make the cut.

Either we're pretty confident that D Thomas will return and we're confident that none of our WRs will get nicked, or we're going to scour the waiver wire for another WR. No team goes into the regular season with only 4 healthy WRs on the roster.

I wonder what the plan is? :confused:

[HORSEPOWER 56]

I'd have cut Brady Quinn and kept Weber. That last game pretty much put the last nail in Quinn's coffin for me.

Xanders says that he's cleared to start practicing. While he won't tell the media when they expect him back in games, he says that he'll be starting in with the scout team this week. It really looks like DT may be back within the first 3 games.

That would be awesome, but I really hope we're not rushing him back too early. I've never seen a guy come back from an achilles this fast. An ACL, maybe because you can wear a brace, but never an achilles. Interesting.

Still though, that leaves us 3 weeks with only 4 WRs and potentially Orange Julius catching balls for Orton.

[Ziggy]

Yeah, looks like we'll be running mostly 2 and 3 TE sets. I think the Broncos may have big plans for OJ that they didn't want to show in the preseason.

still 23 left from the McD era


I got this question on Twitter early today: How many players on the roster are leftover from the Josh McDaniels Era?

On the current 53-man roster, the answer is: 23, including nine draft picks over two seasons. One other player was an undrafted rookie signed by McDaniels (Cassius Vaughn). Another draft pick, Syd’Quan Thompson, is on injured reserve.

There are 13 players left from the Mike Shanahan era, including seven draft picks, and one undrafted player (Wesley Woodyard).

I will be VERY surprised if D. Thomas EVER plays a meaningful down of productive football for the Denver Broncos again. Just don't see it happening.
Would be nice to see him succeed since he was drafted so highly but that is McDaniels being dumbass again.

Also very glad to see Cox get waived. He's trouble and he isn't a consistent CB. Glad Elway decided to move on without him.

Slowly but surely correcting his mistakes.

[DenBronx]

I totally understand that - and IMO, there are still some darn good players here from McD's time here, plus still some from Shanahan.

yeah there are but with new schemes and coaches we might be getting rid of some guys sooner than later based on that.

decker is one of my favorite guys he picked. but overall there were alot of below average players.

julious deffinitely is a better TE than gronkowski...at least from what i have seen and heard.

coach fox just seems to be alot wiser and handle players alot better. i'm not constantly worried that he is going to make crazy moves or ship out talent and bring in a scrub.

When healthy (and not being forced to take huge hits on STs), Thomas showed that he has the skills to be a very good WR. His achilles was supposedly just a partial tear. I know you don't like him and will use anything as an excuse to slam McDaniels (he deserves it), but I just don't see Thomas as a bust or failure, yet.

When he was healthy, he was quite good. I know you're thinking, "but he's injury prone", but he wasn't in college and the broken foot was his first real injury.

Honestly, Decker was the bigger gamble coming back from a Lis Franc injury.

[dogfish]

Cox released as well

good riddance to the raper!




Could be, and although he missed 8 games he also did well in limited time sharing carries with Addai. I think it just comes down to money and space personally. They rarely use the RB and with Hart playing pretty well it clears up more cap room cutting ties with Brown. Either way, i think he shines elsewhere.

brown = the poor man's laurence maroney. . . .

:welcome:




McBath is a better special teams player. With Bruton and McBath both on the final roster, it looks like the new regime is putting a ton of importance on special teams.

right as the league tries to phase it out of the sport-- makes perfect sense. . .




If anyone should be stocking shelves, it's Hochstein. For the amount of game experience he has, he still plays like a 5th tier player.

fixed that for ya. . . .

without taking a careful look at the roster, i'd say hochstein probably wins the annual "My God, how in the world does that piece of crap still have a job??" award. . . . i can only pray he's on his way out once we scan the waiver wire for some slightly less crappy crap. . . .

the "plan" is probably to never have more than three receivers on the field at any given moment any way. . .

I don't dislike D. Thomas. I thought we should have drafted Dez Bryant but Thomas showed some potential in his rookie season. Still, he's been hurt the better part of 2 years now and is coming back from a major injury in regards to athleticism. People love to bash Tebow for being a 1st rounder but Thomas was drafted higher and to the surprise of many, ahead of the better prospect, Dez Bryant. So he too needs to produce to justify his draft position.

I just think the odds are this injury will set him back.

It's the most surprising cut. All reports were he was doing so well... :whoknows:

Hey now, we got Dan Gronkowski out of the deal... Oh Wait... :tsk:

[G_Money]

No kidding, i just don't get it. He was Dawkins' backup the entire time in camp and always played ahead of McBath, Bruton, and even Carter.

It's the most surprising cut. All reports were he was doing so well... :whoknows:

They put McCarthy on the PS and just cut McBath. Kyle was cut at that point because they thought they could sneak him through - McCarthy still has a place with us. If someone claims him later in the year, I'm sure they can cut a worthless backup OL or something to put him on the 53 man.

Or just cut Quinn... :rolleyes:

No kidding. But if they cut Quinn, I'd rather they just sign Weber to the active roster. I was listening to Sirius NFL Radio yesterday and they were talking Weber up pretty hard believe it or not.

They were saying his measurables at the combine were better than Tebow's. 39" vertical jump (Tebows was 38"), 4.6 in the 40 (Tebow ran 4.7), etc.

[DenBronx]

2009 draft was an EPIC FAIL. Gronkowski gone, Quinn didnt beat out Tebow for #2, Smith, McBath, Richard Quinn, ect.


Hillis is on the cover of Madden/13 TD's 2010
Shefller is a solid option for an up and coming Detriot
Cutler took a very bad Bears offense to the NFCCG
Marshall is still making plays (although he does have some mental instabilities.:laugh:)


Our end result? The fans took it in the ass. :coffee:

Wanna have fun?

2009 draft:


1st: Moreno - backup injury prone RB with no vision or burst
1st: Ayers - 1.5 career sacks for the "pass rush specialist", here's hoping he can improve in the 4-3
2nd: Alphonso Smith - traded for a useless brother of a football player
2nd: McBath - occasionally injured, often ineffective, gone
2nd: Quinn - worthless and gone
4th: Bruton - hanging on by his fingernails to a roster spot because he's a good ST player
4th: Olsen - gone
5th: McKinley :(
6th: Brandstater - hah
7th: Schlueter - nuh uh

The only players left from a 2009 draft with 5 picks in the first two rounds are our backup RB and a special teams only player.

I don't miss Josh... :tsk:

And this is why Xanders should've gone with him, IMO. Accountability.

[DenBronx]

Only 3 draft picks in 2009 remain: Knowshon Moreno, Robert Ayers, David Bruton.

[G_Money]

Btw, I love how I left Ayers off the conclusion completely. I really don't like that pick, do I? :lol:

I'll be honest, I was really hoping that Derek Harvey would come in fired up and take his job...

Doesn't look like it will happen, oh well...

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Did you know that Von Miller has more sacks in two games than Ayers has in 2 years? :tsk:

[dogfish]

...

ouch-- that's just f'n brutal. . .

it's funny, i got bitched at a lot for complaining about that round so much. . .

"nobody has any idea whether those guys will work out, just wait and see!"

okay, how'd that work out?

yea, ya think?

how's the weather down thur?

[Dzone]

Ball had some really good runs. He follows his blockers well and seems to find lanes to run through.

[sneakers]

How the heck did Brandon Minor get hurt? He looked pretty good...

[Ziggy]

How the heck did Brandon Minor get hurt? He looked pretty good...

Xanders- "Brandon are you injured?"
Brandon- "No."
Xanders- "Brandon if you're not injured, we're going to waive you. You sure you're not hurt?"
Brandon- "Now that you mention it...."

[Tned]

If Xanders didn't have authority to stop him, why should he be fired and accountable?

Come on, you can't call Julius Thomas a starter and Moreno a backup!! That said, yea, that horrid draft tells us a lot.

I got bitched at routinely for pointing out McDaniels horrible player moves.

:lol: You're probably right, but watching everyone we had go elsewhere and be successful while nearly everyone we kept sucked...it's hard on the perceptions. :elefant:

Moreno was one of the only draft picks I was in favor of that day. I wanted Shady McCoy more, but I thought Moreno was one of the top 3 backs in the draft and we needed a back. I thought he'd be good in the ZBS even if we drafted a RB higher than I would have.

Then we canned the ZBS. There's still a good back inside of Moreno waiting to get out, I think. We'll see what he can do from here out.

It was a cacophony of catastrophic errors that echoed through those 2 years. Just amazing how many bad decisions could be made by one man - who was enabled by the decision to hire him in the first place.

SO glad those years are over - but we aren't done digging out just yet.

We have a multi year rebuilding project in front of us. The Josh McDaniels era was an epic fail. The echos continue to reverberate through Dove Valley. At least the digging this year appears to be up instead of that cataclysmic hole we dug the past two seasons.

Hey, while your sorry ass disappeared for most of those two years, I stayed here and got brutalized by the masses for pointing out those dumb ass personnel moves!!!

There's a few of us T, we remember...we had your back, just we were outnumbered for well over a year, nearly two - then people smelled the stink and finally had enough!
