Guess we didn't want to shell out $4.1 mil to a problem drinker.
Also surprising because now we give up a draft pick to the NYG.
Certainly strange to see the team stand behind him... work on being a better person.... blah blah blah.... then cut him. I understand not wanting to pay the 4.1 mil, but that's 4.1 mil of cap space eaten by nothing now, in a year where we're going to have to shell out big money to some stars.
SHORYUKEN!
Wow. Just last year he set a record, too. Wonder how long until the real story comes out.
Oh wow! Completely surprised by this. He must have a bad issue with the alcohol that the Broncos don't feel he is dealing with.
Next suspension is a year, so maybe they don't feel he's in a good place in recovery to trust him.
Elway sends a message. Guys, we don't have time for this shit, we're trying to win a title.
Maybe another positive test during suspension?
I looked him up on OvertheCap.com - if I'm reading it correctly, we're saving $3.25 million on next year's cap by cutting him now (I assume the $812,500 in prorated bonus gets accelerated to this year's cap figure). I'm sure there's more to the story, but I don't think we're eating big money by cutting him.
