After Monday’s trade, the Broncos had an open roster spot.
The club filled it Tuesday by signing safety Rafael Bush to the active roster.
“He is a guy that our scouts had high grades on,” Head Coach John Fox said. “Our pro personnel department liked him, and we’re just bringing him in to see how he does in our system.”
Bush originally signed with the Atlanta Falcons as a college free agent in 2010, and spent the majority of last season and so far this year on Atlanta’s practice squad.
In college at South Carolina State, Bush was voted the team’s most valuable player as a senior, when he finished the season with 54 tackles and three touchdowns. In his career, he made 222 tackles and was named to the S.C. State All-Decade team.
The team also made a practice squad transaction, signing defensive tackle Sealver Siliga to the squad, waiving fullback Austin Sylvester to make room for the move.

lol the blogs are rollin today… Welcome to Denver Bush hope you can make an impact.
-Royalty
Did not know we had an extra FB… Hope the new DT can help out.
Well Hell I liked Sylvester,now I’m pissed!!!
They keep posting new blogs and now post the PS player Bush,man can we not make any major moves?
So we get a safety on the Roster and Move a DT to the practice squad. I woulda thought DT was more important but I guess Dawk is pretty banged up. What happened to McBath or Kyle McCarthy … why not look inhouse to people who know our system? Anyway, wateva.
For a moment I though they meant Reggie!
Still in shock at the Palmer deal! Just when the Raiders were becoming relevant again – what have they done? Only 5th and 7th picks next year (+ maybe some conditionals at the end of the 3rd)! That is unbelievable arrogance thinking they are going to win it all with Palmer!
They only just beat us when Orton was playing and wouldn’t have done if TT had been.
They will regret this for years…
Anybody know anything about the new DT Sealver Siliga and where he came from?
I love Buch the P#### not the player!
He was signed by the 49ers as an undrafted free agent and then later released.
He came from Utah. He is 6’2 307lbs.
Looks like he managed 97 tackles, 11 TFL, and 2.5 sacks in 3 seasons.
I thought McCarthy was playing OK,we should have moved him up,unless Bush is better than him,but like TRB said,he dosen’t know the system,whats up with Carter? he was supposed to be the 2nd best Safety in the draft behind Moore,must have been a shortage of talent at Safety in this years draft!!!
1only McBath is still unsigned and is on no ones practice squad. Does anyone know how the Parrish Cox case is going?? I’m starting to think he was innocent after all. I see they delayed it but it was not Cox’s lawyers who asked for more time.
Thanks for the info guys,looks like another body to fill the roster!nothing special!
BFE the move was not because of Carter. The move was because BDawk injury is really serious. He has more than just a sprain in my opinion. He had this injury last yr.
007,he can’t be innocent they did a DNA sample to prove he was guilty,no way he gets off,his lawyers are just delaying the inevitable,imo!
Oh yeah Thanks BFE I must have read the wrong article. thanks.
If Carter cannot replace Dawk,then it is because of Carter too!
I know Dawk is injured,but thought Carter could step up!
No prob!
i posted about this.. i think this was a stupid move.. but what do i know
I think they just signed Bush for Depth not to start. With Cater starting he can’t play special teams anymore. So they needed another body
about this last night*
Carter*
Carter,Bruton,and McCarthy and we bring in Bush?
makes no sense,unless this kid has a lot of talent,which I doubt or he wouldn’t be on Atlanta’s PS,man EFX is starting to remind me of McD!!!
Dumb moves put us where we are now!
If Carter does start,we still have Bruton and McCarthy for depth,at least they know the system,I’m with Randy on this one,stupid move!
I’m worried about Tebow’s third game. Yes, they only beat us by 3 last time but that is cuz they penalized themselves out of the endzone. Palmer is going to excel (for a few years) behind OAK’s dominant O-line. That was all he was missing in Cincy was a little protection. I confess I haven’t watched Raiders the past two weeks but their Oline remains as dominant as they were the first few weeks of the season – we need a break out game from Doom, Mays, and Miller. Couple of early sacks will tame Palmer – otherwise, I’m concerned.
Well 5 minutes and counting,I guess no more trades for us!
Broncs – 45 / MIA – 10
Tebow is gonna blow this one up!!!
I am with 007, I think the signing is about depth beyond Carter, not to replace Carter…
BFE – Your Vols are gonna beat the Tide right?
I think we need a CB,Vaughn and Goody are getting ripped,Wilhite is doing OK,and Champ will help a lot,now that he’s back.I’m not too worried about Miami,but we have some rough games down the stretch against teams that have great QBs!
Can anyone confirm that Dawk is really injured? I know he was slowed down but I Fox didn’t mention him -or I missed it.
BFE …. bay and I were discussing Siliga back when we were looking at DT CFA signings. He was signed by the Niners.
Siliga appeared in 37 games in his three year career for the Utah Utes and finished with 97 tackles. After his junior year he was awarded honorable mention All-Mountain West.
Glad to see Broncos sign him to PS.
Raiders dont care much for their draft picks. Dont understand the philosophy but, seems to be working for them so far.
put bush back on a PS bring up Siliga.. ps im pretty pissed sylvester was released to but i expected it after we signed the other FB to our team
Thanks rbf1,they can afford to waive good DTs,on the other hand we desperately need them!
BFE – Vaughn only got burned once the last game that I recall – It’s Goody that gets burn 50% or better. I hope Goody ends up 2nd string or deeper soon – Broncs gotta make certain he isn’t one -on -one deep. He loses all of those match ups.
Raiders with Palmer are one sack away from trying to give away all first round picks for the next 10 years, lol
db,I can’t remember which game it was,might have been a preseason game,but Vaughn got torched a lot!
Goody was a good CB until he got hurt,hasn’t recovered yet,I’m afraid he is done!!!
We can make it until next years draft to get a CB,we ain’t going to the SB anyway,but I wished we would have made a move for Asante Samuels!
Daddy I hope you mean the Broncos 3rd game. Tebow is not the only one playing. lol
We have Dennis Allen as the DC now. He was the Saints DB coach.( I know ya’ll know this but stay with me) I think we went that way cuz in this new system on D. The safeties Moore and Carter is the only ones he trusts. Kyle and David have been here but they must not be showing progress. When CV getting playing time at CB. I know they are not above putting them in the game if the making plays in practice. They might looked ok last yr. This is a new yr and new system. The way they play on Madden 12 don’t count. lol j/k
Hell, 2 first round picks for Palmer. How bout taking Orton for free.
The Palmer deal is still pending according to NFL.com. I’ve not seen any site post the deal was completed and it’s now past the deadline.
No prob BFE… yeah Niners looking really good on defense this year.
Siliga was a good pick up. If McBean was not arrested during the bye. This move would not have happened just saying.
broncsbomber66 Like I said in other Posts. Orton couldn’t command Extra Gatorade in a trade right now. I think the teams are just offering a pack Of Banana Now n Laters. I think Elway only like Cherry or Pineapple. lmao
True that Greatness
Wow the blog flurry has stopped and so has the trade deadline…hmmm. Maybe they were trying to distract us from all the trades that we didn’t make.
07 – It’ll be the Broncos 8th game – Tebow’s #3
DEN defense is what it is – now the offense must out-perform what the D allows.
It’s a new season!
Check NFL or espn the trade is official
yep they announced it as official at the deadline
Denver 24 – Miami 20
Palmer to raiders – will be interesting to watch this one unfold, seems expensive with potentially two first round picks. dont think he will be immidiate succesful in oakland..
who thinks the raiders are better of this season with Palmer and why?
Denver Broncos 27 – Miami Dolphins 16
Go Broncos!
