Broncos have to trim their roster down to 75 players by Tuesday

[Magnificent Seven]

1. Tight end Jeff Heuerman

He's not getting cut, just officially placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve list. This will clear up one roster spot. They haven't been able to officially place him on this list because it would have placed him on waivers first.

2. Linebacker Lerentee McCray

The veteran outside linebacker has missed the majority of the summer with an injury, and has fallen behind rookie Shane Ray and the impressive Shaq Barrett since. The question here will be if/when this happens, will they place him on the IR list or waive him.

Either way, his roster spot has been taken.

3. Running back Jeremy Stewart

This easily could be Kapri Bibbs, but I see them sticking with the younger Bibbs for now. With C.J. Anderson and probably Ronnie Hillman not playing a ton(of at all) during the final preseason game look for Juwan Thompson, Montee Ball, and Bibbs/Stewart to get the carries.

4. Offensive tackle Charles Sweeton

He was signed during Training Camp to provide depth at the position. He was a longshot to ever make the team.

5. Offensive tackle Kyle Roberts

Kyle Roberts was signed as a undrafted free agent for the Broncos this spring. He played with the third team, and with him behind Michael Schofield and Chris Clark, there's not a spot for him.

6. Linebacker Chase Vaughn

He's a great story, but such a long shot to make the team. The outside linebacker position is deep for the Broncos, and there just isn't a roster spot for him.

7. Cornerback Tevrin Brandon

Brandon didn't play at all last night, so it's safe to assume he will not be making the roster. With guys like Lorenzo Doss, Nixon, Tony Carter and Curtis Marsh all ahead of him on the roster, it will be hard for him to survive the first series for cuts.

8. Tight End Jake Murphy

He was added after Marvin Austin was placed on the season-ending Injured Reserve last week. Murphy hasn't played in a game, and the Broncos added tight end Dan Light this week. So it's unlikely he sticks around very long.

9. Linebacker Reggie Walker

The veteran linebacker was signed this winter but hasn't really made an impact on the team. Players like Corey Nelson and Zaire Anderson have moved ahead of him on the depth chart. So I could see him being cut.

10. Wide receiver Corbin Louks:

The hero of the second preseason game could be among the first cuts. With players like Bennie Fowler, Nathan Palmer, Isaiah Burse, and Jordan Taylor ahead of him, there might not be a spot for him.

11. Safety Ross Madison

He didn't play at all Saturday night and looks to be behind rookie safety Josh Furman on the depth chart.

12. Quarterback Zac Dysert

Dysert hasn't seen the field since his awful performance against the Seahawks week one. I think we'll see a lot of Brock Osweiler Thursday, with rookie Trevor Siemian getting the rest of the snaps.

13. Defensive tackle Chuka Ndulue

The Broncos appear set at nose tackle with Sylvester Williams, Darius Kilgo, and Sione Fua being their three guys. So this doesn't leave a spot for the undrafted rookie Ndulue.

14. Outside linebacker Danny Mason

The undrafted rookie hasn't done a lot to get recognized this summer. It looks like he's behind Gerald Rivers on the depth chart as well.

15. Punter Spencer Lanning

I think they will stick with Colquitt as the punter. It's possible this battle could go into the final preseason game.

[SR]

I'm good with that list except Lanning

[TXBRONC]

Lanning is going make it through the first cuts. I also think Louks might makes it through the first cut. Oh and if not mistaken Barth already counts as one of the cuts.

[VonDoom]

Lanning is going make it through the first cuts. I also think Louks might makes it through the first cut. Oh and if not mistaken Barth already counts as one of the cuts.

I also think Lanning makes it through this cut.

As for Barth, he was cut to open space for Mathis. We're still at 90, and need 15 cuts

[Dapper Dan]

By Tuesday? I thought it was Monday.

[VonDoom]

By Tuesday? I thought it was Monday.

I think it has to be by 9/1, which is Tuesday. We'll probably do most of the work tomorrow

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Why would we keep Colquitt over Lanning? Is the writer going with his gut ?

[VonDoom]

Why would we keep Colquitt over Lanning? Is the writer going with his gut ?

Because he's the incumbent and we just negotiated a pay cut with him? I don't know. I'm not saying that he SHOULD win the job, but I think he's the favorite at this point. I'd be a little surprised to see Lanning stay, even if that's what I hope for.

That's a good point, but from what I've seen Lanning has the better leg and it's not even close.

[NightTerror218]

JD Walton cut by Miami

[Dapper Dan]

That's a good point, but from what I've seen Lanning has the better leg and it's not even close.

It just seems strange that he was cut by two pretty terrible teams already.

Latimer seems to be following the same path as Ball.
(Of course its still too early to say if we should have drafted Eddie Lacy instead of Ball.)

[SR]

Until Lattimer has a fair shot, I'm not ready to say whether or not he's following the same path as Ball. But we sure did miss an opportunity with Lacy. Same could be said for a lot of other draft picks in recent years though.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Latimer seems to be following the same path as Ball.
(Of course its still too early to say if we should have drafted Eddie Lacy instead of Ball.)

Why do you say that about Cody?

[Dzone]

Why do you say that about Cody?
Just throwing it out there for discussion lol

[Dzone]

I bring it up because I heard this morning that Norwood has jumped ahead of Latimer. If so, then yes, this does appear to be the same path as ball.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I bring it up because I heard this morning that Norwood has jumped ahead of Latimer. If so, then yes, this does appear to be the same path as ball.

I will admit I was annoyed at his lack of effort to go after that ball on the goal line.

Offensive tackle has to be the thinnest position on the team. Elway brought in Mathis to beef up the Oline. I'm thinking he has a plan to beef up the tackle position as well, especially after trading Clark away.

Does this mean that Schofield doesnt suck? Or maybe they have plans to bring in another OL

Harris, Ty, Schofield are 3 main OT. Plus 2 others on roster still.

I'm taking this as the team still wants Clady back next year and will move Sambrailo to RT next season. Guessing they will. Sign a veteran to a one year contract.

[VonDoom]

Surprised Clark was traded for those peanuts. I assumed he'd be used as a swing backup tackle. Looks like he's not in the plans.

Cuts so far, some mentioned above: http://www.milehighreport.com/2015/8/31/9232149/zac-dysert-among-10-early-broncos-cuts-jeff-heuerman-placed-on

Too bad on Duncan - kinda wanted to see him make it. Surprised he was cut now so they probably don't even want him for the PS

[Ziggy]

We have a left tackle that's never started an NFL game. We have a backup swing tackle that's never started an NFL game. The two other backup tackles on the roster have never started an NFL game. Call me crazy, but I still think Elway has a plan to bring in an experienced backup tackle.

[dogfish]

from PFT;


The Broncos cut quarterback Zac Dysert and veteran linebacker Reggie Walker among a flurry of cuts, as they pared their roster to 79 in advance of tomorrow’s deadline.

They also placed tight end Jeff Heuerman, this year’s third-round pick, on injured reserve.

The Broncos waived cornerback Tevrin Brandon, guard Andre Davis, tight end Joe Don Duncan, punter Spencer Lanning, safety Ross Madison, tight end Jake Murphy, running back Jeremy Stewart and linebacker Chase Vaughn.

No, it's actually less likely you'd bring a player back, because he'd be available to all teams for a longer period.

@MaseDenver What about Joe Don? I'm sure they'd love him on the practice squad. Do you think that's why they cut him early?

A surprise, no doubt. But it's awfully tough to learn how to play fullback in one offseason & camp. RT @CMQZ: What about Joe Duncan?

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 2h

Not a surprise. Due to injuries, saw time w/ 2nd team in camp. RT @Roddoliver: Biggest surprise to me is that C.Marsh remains on the roster.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 2h

Colquitt responded well to the challenge posed when the Broncos claimed Lanning off waivers. Strong hang times & net last 2 weeks.

Andrew Mason ‏@MaseDenver 2h

Not surprised about the decision to waive Dysert. Siemian took the No. 3 QB job by the throat. Question now is whether Siemian's on the 53.

[VonDoom]

Why would we keep Colquitt over Lanning? Is the writer going with his gut ?

What did I tell you on Colquitt? I'm two for two on predicting our kicking competition winners.

Thanks Ziggy.....I am still shocked that they traded a veteran that had some success on the left side....but reading your post made me feel less crazy.... Oh and we have one preseason game left if they bring in a veteran?????

[Denver Native (Carol)]

... Lanning, an Aug. 14 waiver claim was brought in to provide competition with Britton Colquitt, but Colquitt's strong preseason helped him hang onto the job.

Strong preseason? He had one decent punt...that makes strong? Blah...

[NightTerror218]

Wonder if Elway is shopping more players before having to make cuts

[GEM]

Now watch how it plays out....

Broncos ask Colquitt to take a pay cut.

Colquitt obliges.

Colquitt's kicks still aren't looking any better than last season (Oh yay...ya mean they're short and no air time...YAY!!)

Broncos sign the other punter.

Colquitt is said to be pissed off about taking a pay cut and the Broncos still bringing in another punter.

Other punter looks strong and to be exactly what the punting game has been missing.

Colquitt feeling the pressure has a decent punt (One..1...ooooohhhh ahhhhhh)

Broncos cut other punter after not giving him one freaking punt in SF game. Hey Broncos, we know what Colquitt can do, how about seeing what the other guy can do?

Colquitt laughs and will return to his piddly punt average and no hang time.

Broncos will blame the Special Teams as a unit instead of pointing out the glaring reality...when your damn punter averages 39 yards and no air time...no one can cover.

Annoying.

[pnbronco]

I thought this year would be easier because I didn't close to any of the youngsters.... Dang it, it's not..... I just hate this week.....:bawling:

I wonder if Elway is working on a trade for Montee Ball. At this point, we'd be lucky to get a 6th for him. Perhaps Ball and a draft pick for a tackle?

[GEM]

24th in the league is below average. He has shown he can punt better...yet he doesn't in games, until some competition comes in and threatens his job. With a chip on his shoulder because if the pay cut, hopefully he doesn't go lazy at gametime. I don't hate him, he's never done anything to me personally to hate him.

He hasn't been good in games since he got paid. He does just enough in the preseason to keep his job and then he's average or below when it counts. The guy has slithered his way on to the final roster once again. I hope this season is different.

I guess the question is whether he beats out Caldwell. Norwood seems to be a lock at this point and if they're only keeping five WR, there's not a lot of wiggle room. Fowler has impressed me, though, so I hope they find a way to keep him.

Why on Earth would we bring a guy back who is one hit away from being a noodle brain? And even when he did receive punts for Denver while he was on the team, he never did much with them. It was like having a slow, small white guy back there who can't afford to take a big hit.

If Sanders doesnt have a concussion history, maybe he does return punts. Maybe having him back there as a threat to go all the way on every punt would be a good thing. So far, Sanders hasnt exactly shown himself to be an ironman. It will be nerve wracking if he does return punts lol

I think that was their plan when they signed Sanders to begin with. Decker was doing both occasionally but i think with Sanders speed made him more valuable in that regard. When they went after him i think that was part of what they wanted out of him.

[Dapper Dan]

Is Sanders really explosive as a return man though? He is as a receiver but as a return man he hasn't done as much.

[TXBRONC]

Why wouldn't I be?

Patting yourself so hard on the back I was sure you must have injured yourself. :D

[Northman]

Is Sanders really explosive as a return man though? He is as a receiver but as a return man he hasn't done as much.

Dunno. Decker really didnt do much either in the return game (although he did score a TD once) but i would think Sanders speed would be a difference maker if they wanted him back there. Right now we really have no one better to return kicks so why not put one of your best guys there to see if he can make a play?

Light's story sure ended quickly

[Denver Native (Carol)]

from article:


1. WANT TO STICK? MAKE IT HAPPEN ON SPECIAL TEAMS.

It can be argued that no position is deeper than wide receiver, from a pair of Pro Bowlers on the top line of the depth chart (Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders) to Cody Latimer, Andre Caldwell and Jordan Norwood through players like Bennie Fowler, Isaiah Burse, Jordan Taylor and Corbin Louks. All have made impressions and big plays, whether on the practice field or the three preseason games to date.

But it will be special teams that separates the group.

"It's huge," Head Coach Gary Kubiak said. "We could be a five-, six-, seven-receiver football team depending on how things play out here over the weekend. It's very big. Bubba's been a good special teams player and [WR] Bennie has been good. Bennie's been nicked a little bit. He's got a sore hip, so I'm hoping he's ready to go Thursday. It will be a big part.

"You'll see Taylor play a lot more special teams in this game, also."

[Denver Native (Carol)]

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- As the preseason draws to a close and the Denver Broncos' regular-season opener approaches, the team has answered a smattering of questions that trailed them into training camp.

They have made decisions in the offensive line, including signing two-time Pro Bowl selection Evan Mathis to a 1-year, incentive-heavy deal last week. They have settled on a pecking order at running back with Ronnie Hillman having earned the No. 2 spot behind C.J. Anderson.

And they have made their picks at kicker and punter -- Brandon McManus and Britton Colquitt -- and avoided keeping a third kicker to handle kickoffs since McManus will handle those duties. But a little over a week out from the opener -- Sept. 13 against the Baltimore Ravens -- and the Broncos are still on the hunt for returners. Especially a punt returner.

Funny thing iirc Lynch said during last Saturday's game that Denver was thin at receiver.

[tomjonesrocks]

Funny thing iirc Lynch said during last Saturday's game that Denver was thin at receiver.

I think they are based on years past. Basically the receiving options for Manning are DT / Sanders / Daniels / ?

There's been some flashes from the backups but Latimer was supposed to be a breakout star and has flatlined thus far. Can the guy play at all?

[pnbronco]

still ten spots on the practice squad. . .

So 22 more cuts by Sat....right? With 10 spots for the practice squad if they clear waivers?????

He was probably the best backup linebacker at run stuffing, but the worst in coverage. You have to have MLBers that can cover in Wade's D. That will be a blow to special teams though.

Daivs was a lock and so what going be either him or Nelson for other reserve inside linebacker position.

Maybe they were limiting Bibbs reps because they want to stash him on the practice squad again.

guessing that marsh will be waived to make room for another TE, and that one of schofield/shelley smith/gradkowski will be let go to make room for another OT. . . josh bush would look to be the guy who will be cut next week to make room for TJ. . . and it's possible that lerentee mccray or another one of the backup OLs could be dropped if we want to add another vet defensive tackle. . . two feels awfully light there. . .


top PS candidates are probably bibbs, garland, jordan taylor, zaire anderson, dominique jones, dillon day and courbin louks. . .

[GEM]

Totally surprised by the Steven Johnson cut...not sure why a high end back up gets cut while a can't do shit back up (Ball) sticks around. They should have cut Ball and stuck him on squad if he cleared waivers (which he would have), Bibbs more versatile. Hope Johnson catches on somewhere. Draft position over talent apparently.

I'm sure he will he's a good player. I do remember hearing several times that the Broncos have been very high on Davis and Nelson. Davis looks like he could start for us if Trevathan or Marshall were not ahead of him on the depth chart.

I disagree with that idea, though. CJ is the starter because he's clearly the best back we have. In terms of guys on the bubble, Ball is here because he's a second round pick and Bibbs was released because he's undrafted and they think they can sneak him onto the PS
