The Denver Broncos surprised fans on Monday with news that the team is moving on from veteran wideout Tim Patrick. Like Patrick, the Broncos also hope to trade running back Samaje Perine.
Barring a trade, the Broncos will cut both veterans, per reports. Lost in the shuffle amid these two more known names was the handful of other players the Broncos waived and released on Monday.
In case you missed it, here’s the list. It doesn’t count Patrick or Perine because both are still on the Broncos roster.
If/when that changes, we’ll update the article. For now, let this be your Broncos final roster cuts tracker, as the deadline to be at the final 53 players is Tuesday, August 27.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The only thing that stands between the Denver Broncos and Week 1 of the regular season is roster cuts.
By Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. MDT, all NFL teams must cut their rosters down from 90 players to 53.
On Wednesday, teams will then begin building their practice squad, which will be filled with many players they release before the Tuesday deadline.
Here are the moves Sean Payton and George Paton made to knock the roster down to the final 53 players.

Jarrett Stidham 'disappointed' in losing battle to Bo Nix: 'I know I’m a starting quarterback in this league'
A former fourth-round pick by New England, Stidham has started two games each of the past two seasons. At the end of 2023, he had a chance to impress Sean Payton after taking over for a benched Russell Wilson. The 28-year-old performed adequately but didn’t shine to the point that the club would avoid taking a first-round rookie. Once Nix was drafted, Stidham’s ultimate fate was decided in Denver.
“I think they know what I can do,” he said. “I think I displayed that last year whenever I was asked to come in and play the last two games, throughout practice, throughout training camp, OTAs, the whole thing. At the end of the day, I’m going to go out there and do what I do. I’m confident in what I can do, and I’ll do whatever I can to help this team.”
Stidham is in line to back up Nix, but Payton noted that he expects to keep Zach Wilson on the roster as well after the former first-round pick flashed during the preseason.
“We have enough money. I understand the question. We feel comfortable with those three quarterbacks,” the coach said. “I think I have told you already, but I see the three of them making it.”

Promising Broncos rookie RB puts final nail in veteran’s Denver tenure

If there was one truth about the Denver Broncos heading into the 2024 season, it was that they have a crowded backfield. Javonte Williams returns as the presumptive starter, Jaleel McLaughlin is primed for a big year, Samaje Perine is entering the final year of his deal, and two Broncos rookies Audric Estimé and Blake Watson aim to make room for themselves in the picture.
Entering the final game of camp, it felt clear that Williams and McLaughlin would have a key role on the team, and rookie Estimé would very likely receive a 53-man spot. This leaves one key name on the outside looking in: Samaje Perine. Perine was a key fixture in the Broncos’ two-minute drill last year and was a major reason the Broncos were able to pull off their fair share of incredible last-minute wins. However, his spot is far from safe this summer.
Estime has impressed many in camp and might have put an exclamation point on his pre-season with a strong performance on Sunday against the Cardinals, highlighted by his rushing touchdown to open the scoring in the first quarter. Overall, Estime picked up 18 yards on the ground and 14 through the air during his limited action and capped his day off with the aforementioned end zone visit.
Overall this camp, Estimé has shown the ability to put his head down, run the ball, and be an option out of the backfield as a receiving threat. Likely, Estimé would be a reprise for Williams, and offer a better receiving game than Williams does. This could find him mainly working in four-minute drills, and offering a different look than McLoughlin and Williams. This role is exactly what Perine filled last year.
The selection and emergence of Estime puts Perine in a bind. Odds are, he is the current odd man out and is not currently set to make the 53-man roster. Perine, one a significant piece of the Broncos’ offensive plans and a few memorable comeback wins, might be looking for his third team in three years in just a few weeks.
