Denver Broncos roster cuts tracker: Live updates before cut day
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has emphasized that the primary focus of the training camp is to finalize the 53-man roster for the active season. The process of choosing the final roster involves evaluating many factors, particularly for a relatively inexperienced team like the Broncos. Payton’s goal is to balance immediate performance, especially in preparation for the Week 1 game against Seattle, with long-term potential and player development.
Payton has frequently expressed his desire to avoid a scenario where a player is released by the Broncos, only to find success with another team. Such situations would indicate a misjudgment in evaluating the talent on the current roster, especially when those players were available for assessment.
As the season approaches, there is speculation about whether the Broncos might make any trades. Several positions on the roster could be potential sources for trade, given the team’s depth in these areas. The quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and even cornerback spots could be considered for trade opportunities.
Among the potential trade candidates are running back Samaje Perine, quarterback Jarrett Stidham, and wide receiver Brandon Johnson. The Broncos might also explore trade opportunities to strengthen specific positions. Notably, the team could seek to add talent at tight end, linebacker, or safety—positions that were identified as major needs at the beginning of the offseason.
In summary, the Broncos’ approach to finalizing their roster involves a strategic evaluation of both current talent and potential areas for improvement. As cut day approaches, the team is focused on ensuring that the chosen roster will not only be competitive for the upcoming season but also lay a solid foundation for future success.
