    Default Final list of cuts

    The Broncos released 21 players today as Denver trimmed its ranks to 53 players at the roster deadline.

    Notable names on the Broncos' cut list include former starting fullback Kyle Johnson and defensive tackle Jimmy Kennedy.

    The release of Johnson means Cecil Sapp and converted tailback Mike Bell will compete to be the fullback. Kennedy, acquired in a trade from the Rams in June for a sixth-round pick, didn't have a good preseason.

    The following is the complete list of the cuts:

    (Name, Position)

    Emmanuel Akah, Guard

    Bill Alford, Cornerback

    John Browning, Defensive end

    Steve Cargile, Safety

    Greg Eslinger, Center

    Mark Fenton, Guard

    Darrell Hackney, Quarterback

    Steven Harris, Defensive tackle

    T.J. Hollowell, Linebacker

    Kevin House, Cornerback

    Kyle Johnson, Running back

    Jimmy Kennedy, Defensive tackle

    Glenn Martinez, Wide receiver

    Kevin McAlmont, Offensive lineman

    Marquay McDaniel, Wide receiver

    Quincy Morgan, Wide receiver

    Chad Mustard, Tackle

    Preston Parsons, Quarterback

    Roderick Rogers, Safety

    Cameron Vaughn, Linebacker

    Cliff Washburn, Offensive linemen

    Kenny Peterson, Defensive tackle*

    (* He is starting a four-game NFL suspension for violating the steroid policy.)

    Thank you, Cali.

    But Bell at FB? Seems we might have a flyweight there . . .


    But wow, we let some good people go. Guess that's
    a good sign for the talent level on the squad?

    True, but I think Cecil will start. His pass protection was on point during the preseason.

    i think kyle became expendable for 2 reasons:

    1. cecil was showing signs of outplaying kyle last year when he began competing for playing time

    2. with the signing of a true every down TE in graham, i just dont think we will be using many plays which involve the FB, but rather a LOT more 2 TE sets...

    3. because i cant count, scheffler said in his rescent Q & A "But there's definitely going to be times where we're even going to have three tight ends in there blocking and doing things like that, so it should be a good year for the tight ends." http://www.denverbroncos.com/page.ph...4&storyID=7115

    so yeah...

    i think we will be right without kyle...

    Didn't he have blocking issues last year?

    And don't we look for blocking from a FB?

    Cargile suprises me a bit based on his versatility. But then Webster and Abdullah stepping up probably had something to do with that.

    I am shocked that we traded a 6th for Kennedy and then cut him. He made a couple nice plays in the Arizona game, so I was really surprised about that. I would have predicted Burton getting cut instead. I am very scared about our depth at DT, considering a no name like Gordon is our starter.

    Also, after the game Cargile had against the Cards, and his versatility, I feel bad for that guy. I hope we can keep him around on the practice squad.

    I'm not upset about cutting KJ, or any of the other players except for Quincy Morgan. Seems kinda weird to cut a player who led the NFL in return avg just 2 seasons ago and was a playmaker in that department for us last year.

    I do not have any idea why we kept so many backs, you figure one would have been cut from Bell, Young, or Hall. And I am also surprised that we kept 5 stinking TE's again. I thought we brought in Graham to be a dominating blocker, yet we kept our other TE who's a blocker in Alexander. Nate Jackson had a good camp, but he doesn't block or stay healthy. And can we please train someone else to long snap so we can get that damn roster spot back?

    I was shocked by a few. I thought K Johnson, G Eslinger, and J Kennedy would all make the team.
