Broncos consider options for Jonathon Cooper amid legal issues

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper faces uncertainty following two recent arrests related to domestic violence and restraining order violations. He has been excused from the team's minicamp as his legal troubles unfold, with a court appearance scheduled for July 24. The Broncos may explore releasing Cooper, which would create a $5.7 million dead cap hit, and could lead to adjustments in their linebacker position, potentially increasing the roles of other defensive players. The situation also heightens discussions around the possible return of Von Miller to the team.
