Broncos cut McKinley, sign Josh Shaw, re-sign Dylan Gandy

Posted Tue Sep 2nd by

McKinley

The Denver Broncos have released DT Alvin McKinley and replaced him with DT Josh Shaw, the Rocky Mountain News reports.  Shaw has bounced around the league and recently played for the Raiders.

In the spot vacated by Foxworth, they also re-signed Dylan Gandy, a move that had been rumored.

Many were predicting McKinley would not make the final cuts, and I guess he didn’t, and re-signing Gandy makes the O-line feel significantly less thin.

About all I can find about Josh Shaw is that Raiders bloggers expected him to make the team and he didn’t. Hard to tell if he has some upside over McKinley or not. I guess we’ll find out.

    Holy crap! We have a backup guard!

    Wow. I’m actually quite surprised McKinley got cut. He started most of 07 for us… (not necessarily a good thing, but still).

    Gandy is one that I had really hoped would make the team. I, too, am all of the sudden feeling better about our depth in the O-line. Is Shaw a DT?

    Is this the roster or musical chairs? Has the music stopped yet? BTW, who the hell is Shaw?

    I never cared for Gandy, at all. Alvin I am kinda surprised-actraully I totally did not expect it. But I think it was a great move to cut him.

    shaw can maybe give some info on the raiders for week one and most likely will be the one cut when marshall comes back.

    Glad to have Gandy back, I was pretty shocked that we cut him in the first place. Then there is Shaw. At 6’3″ and 305 lbs he is a big boy. He is 28, and has played in 9 career games. In 5 years. In that time he has 9 tackles and one sack. How is this dude still around in the NFL, let alone on our team? I am sure that there were better players on the market. Wow.

    6yrs, 9games, ……sounds like a tackling dummy.
