Hours after closing out the preseason with a 19-0 victory over the Cardinals, the Broncos announced the release of nine players on Friday.
On the offensive side, Ingle Martin, Kory Lichtensteiger, Clint Oldenburg, Nate Swift, and Marcus Thomas were released. Leaving the defense are Matthias Askew, Rashod Moulton, Carlton Powell and Lee Robinson. In a separate move, Matt McChesney was placed on the reserve/injured list.
The team has until midday Saturday to submit its final list of 53 players for the regular season opener at Cincinnati on Sept. 13.

I agree with this move. Nice work MICKKY D.
the Broncos have cut outside linebacker Tim Crowder and have kept outside linebacker Jarvis Moss. Moss was Denver’s top pick in 2007, while Crowder was the second-round pick. Both players were moved from defensive end to linebacker by the new Denver regime this year as it transitioned to the 3-4 defense.
Crowder had a promising rookie season, but he struggled last season. He looked good early in camp this year, but he couldn’t fully make the transition. Moss has been a huge bust so far, but Denver is giving him another chance. He left camp earlier this summer, but returned committed to the team. Denver was offering Moss in a trade during the late rounds of the April draft.
Did you guys hear about Tatum Bell going to Canada to play? Guess he will rub elbows with the Canadians, aye.
We Cut Crowder? Wwwhen? Is the final list out today yet?
We signed DE Vonnie Holliday to a contract today.
Tatum Bell = underrated
I believe pacman was the one who was gonna play for Winnipeg in Canada, but they turned him down. I think Tatum is gonna play for some secondary football league in the States, like the american football league or something. At least that’s what I thought I read.
Here’s my ideal depth chart:
Offense
QB- Kyle Orton - Chris Simms - Tom Brandstater
RB- Knowshon Moreno - (Peyton Hillis) - Corell Buckhalter (but really Ryan Torain) - Darius Walker
FB- Peyton Hillis - Spencer Larson
WR 1- Brandon Marshall - Brandon Lloyd
WR 2- Eddie Royal - Jabar Gaffney
WR 3- Brandon Stokley - Kenny McKinley
TE- Daniel Graham - Tony Scheffler - Richard Quinn
LT- Ryan Clady - (Tyler Polumbus)
LG- Ben Hamilton - Seth Olsen
C- Casey Wiegmann - Kory Lichtensteiger
RG- Chris Kuper - Russ Hochstein
RT- Ryan Harris - Tyler Polumbus
Defense
LDE- Ryan McBean - LeKevin Smith - (Tim Crowder)
NT- Ronald Fields - Chris Baker
RDE- Kenny Peterson - (Robert Ayers)
LOLB- Elvis Dumervil - Jarvis Moss - Darrell Reid
LILB- Andra Davis - Spencer Larsen
RILB- DJ Williams - Wesley Woodyard
ROLB- Mario Haggan - Robert Ayers - Tim Crowder
LCB- Champ Bailey - Alphonso Smith
RCB- Andre Goodman - Jack Williams - Joshua Bell
FS- Renaldo Hill - Josh Barrett - Darcel McBath
SS- Brian Dawkins - David Bruton
Special Teams
K- Matt Prater
P- Brett Kern
LS- Lonnie Paxton
In the united football league, Tatum signed with the Florida Tuskers…

Shelton, Kelley, Davis, Bryant and Branson.
Rulon Davis
I’m scared. our 3rd sring quarterback may be our starter next week.
well have to start some where if he starts then it will be trial by fire.
I don’t think so, if that was the case, Martin wouldn’t of been cut.

CARAMELLO: That’s great news about Mike Bell! Glad to hear he made the roster for the Saints.
Also glad to hear about Martinez JaZzyFriIzZIE.
Root for most of our fomer players to have success elsewhere.
Tim Crowder is talented and hopefully will find a new home…Best wishes to Tim!
The DT from philly who started all 16 last year was cut as well. Wonder if he’s any good. Dan Klecko
