NFL teams reduced rosters to 53 players over the weekend, resulting in 26 former Denver Broncos players being released across the league.

Among those let go were quarterbacks Brett Rypien, who was released by the Houston Texans, and Brandon Allen, who was cut by the New York Giants. The group of released players includes various veterans and depth chart contributors across multiple positions, including wide receivers, tight ends, and defensive backs. The Denver Broncos also finalized their own roster cuts, releasing 34 players in the process. Following the conclusion of the waiver claim period, Denver is scheduled to begin forming its 17-player practice squad.
