except Jackson. I was quite impressed by some of the big catches he made in Scheffler’s absence, but I suppose it’s not that big of a deal – we’re talking about a third-stringer here. I know Winborn’s energy was endearing to many Broncos fans, but I won’t miss his excessive celebrating. He may have seemed something of a leader, but look at what he was leading! Also, Mike Nolan’s arrival spelled certain doom for Jamie. I hope Niko, Robertson and Manuel don’t let the door hit them on their rears as they’re leaving…

Winborn, but otherwise no surprises.

I think some of these players as well as some from the last round of cuts may find their way back to the roster at much reduced prices. K2 could make an outstanding ST player and provide emergency back-up at linebacker. DRob could be an excellent back-up at NT (I know, he doesn’t like it) if we play a one gap 3-4. He will have to take back-up pay. I doubt if we see Winborn, Jackson or Manual again.

“Anything different is good.”

I wrote more here, but Jon beat me to the punch on getting the news posted first.

I was expecting Boss to be cut instead of Winborn. Hopefully, this is a sign Boss’s surgery went well becuase the man is talented. Even if we could get a season full of situational downs out of #97, keeping him around would be worth it.

Actually all six of em are for Pat. THIS is how you make room for yourself under the cap….

He always seemed like a hard worker, a team guy, and particularly clutch for a non-starter. But the new era is dawning… I’m sure Kubes will snatch him up.

Yeah, you know, as much as I liked Jackson, he clearly wasn’t as natural for the position as Mssrs. Scheff and Graham. I kinda rooted for him because of the whole converted receiver thing. Sharpe has me pulling for that profile I guess.

lmao snort just kidding. But I bet that’s what the RMN will be reporting…

however it is interesting that three of the players came from other teams (that didn’t want them either).

Get rid of any excess baggage and keep the players that we can move forward with.

better check your locker @ dove valley everyday for a pink slip

is how much money this team has tied up in such a horrible defense.

From the RMN:

Dewayne Robertson and his $16 million salary-cap figure.

The Broncos will have no difficulty being under the league- mandated salary cap of $123 million per team when free agency opens and the new league year begins Feb. 27, but Xanders had said earlier Monday there would be a long look at how that salary- cap money is allocated.

The Broncos had 18 players set to count more than $1 million each against the cap for the 2009 season when the day started. Ten of those players were on defense, a unit that ranked at, or near the bottom of, every major defensive category in last season’s 8-8 finish.

That, in a nutshell my friends, is why Shanahan is no longer a Bronco.
