The Denver Broncos on Thursday waived tight end Brett Pierce and released fullback Cecil Sapp after reaching injury settlements with the players, Head Coach Mike Shanahan announced.
Pierce, a third-year player, was designated waived/injured (left ankle) by Denver on Saturday. He joined the Broncos as a future-contract signee on Dec. 31.
Sapp, a sixth-year player, was placed on injured reserve (left hip flexor) by the Broncos on Saturday. In 49 career games (9 starts) with the Broncos, he posted 49 rushes for 223 yards (4.6 avg.) with two touchdowns, 24 receptions for 102 yards (4.3 avg.) with one score and nine kickoff returns for 187 yards (20.8 avg.).
Sapp joined the Broncos as a college free agent from Colorado State University on May 8, 2003.

Why Sapp?
Again, I understand he may not be the starter, but he is versitle and plays well when called upon.

I agree.
Sapp is a football player. Good on special teams, and out of the backfield.
while yet unspoken, you are master of the word. After it is spoken, the word is master of you.

Looks like Hillis, Pittman, and Larsen
Although I really think Larsen is better served playing defense and special teams fulltime.
I am excited about Hillis, he will be a stud in the NFL.

Sapp was already placed on IR...
So it wouldn’t matter this year anyway.
