Broncos release Josh Shaw, sign Matt McChesney

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2009/feb/12/broncos-release-shaw-sign-former-csu-player/

 

The Broncos continued to tweak their roster Thursday, releasing defensive tackle Josh Shaw and signing former Colorado offensive lineman Matt McChesney.

Shaw, who played as a reserve in the team’s defensive line rotation, suffered two injuries this past season (laceration to his calf and a groin injury) and finished with only five tackles.

The Broncos claimed him off waivers early in the season after he had been released by the Oakland Raiders. Shaw was also briefly suspended by the team for an altercation with teammate Kenny Peterson.

Several Broncos players have said since that Shaw had punched Peterson.

The Broncos, who released five players Wednesday, still have 58 players under contract for 2009.

One of the players the Broncos released Wednesday – running back Anthony Alridge – was claimed off waivers Thursday by both Minnesota and Washington and was awarded to the Redskins because they finished with a worse record this past season.

man...what a disfunctional team we had last year on D.

Is there such a thing as a Playstation 3 Anonymous? I can't seem to stop thinking about or playing COD 4 and COD 5. I hear this is quite normal for a teenager, but I haven't been a teenager since Bill Clinton was frolicking with interns.

How can we sign players before free agency starts?

or is it only players that we available during the season are still available now?

or is it that all contracts end the same day?
?

Any player who has been released...

can be signed. A released player is not the same as a free agent. Even some FAs can be signed if their former team has given permission. For example, the Broncos have already given Nate Webster permission to talk to other teams. He can work out a contract and all the details before the FA period formally begins.

Well, he can play offensive guard or defensive tackle

Is that what McD meant by versatile?

Between he and S Larsen, I think I sense an amazing new trend

We should try Hillis at SS. I bet he’d unleash a nasty lick or two.

Maybe Clady at NT? I’d love to see him sack Rivers using only his usual OL arm-in, pass blocking technique.

B Marsh at corner? No more drops and deflections to worry about. They’re encouraged!

And, for secret weapon/comic effect, put Eddie Royal at NT. Teams can’t run against us if they’re falling all over the ground laughing.
