Open Thread: Broncos And Other Roster Cuts

Use this thread to talk about the cuts the Denver Broncos and other teams make to get their rosters down to 53.

Every NFL team must trim its roster down to 53 players by Saturday, Sept. 3, at 2 p.m. Mountain (4 p.m. Eastern). Therefore, not all of the roster moves will be announced Friday.

I will try to keep this updated regarding the players the Broncos cut, along with the more notable cuts from elsewhere around the league.
