The Denver Broncos are releasing veteran linebacker Dre Greenlaw after just one season with the team. The 28-year-old played in only eight regular season games last year. Dealing with Quad and hamstring injuries, plus a one-game suspension. He wrapped up with 43 tackles, one interception, and one forced fumble. The team signed GreenLots with three-year deal worth $31,500,000 with $11,500,000. Dollars guaranteed up front. Now with no guarantees left, Denver saves a bit more than $6,000,000 by cutting him, though they take on $4,300,000 in debt money. Meanwhile they resigned Alex Singleton and Justin Strunad for more affordable depth. Greenlaw had to adjust to head coach Sean Payton's intense practice style after seven years under Kyle Shanahan in San Francisco.

Denver has younger options like Drew Sanders, Jordan Turner, Karine Reed, and LaVale Bailey.

They scouted several prospects heavily at the combine. The daily news now is presented by our sponsor. No earbuds, no headbands, no awkward sleeping positions, just a pillow that plays your sound.
