Broncos Waive G Isaac Snell, More Info on Dylan Gandy

Yesterday the Denver Broncos signed former Indianapolis Colts guard Dylan Gandy to a one-year, league minimum offer. To make room on the roster, the club released guard Isaac Snell, who joined the Broncos from the Titans practice squad midseason 2007.

Gandy (6-3, 302) will compete for a valuable reserve role on the Denver Broncos offensive line with the likes of P.J. Alexander and Casey Weigmann. In three years in the NFL with the Colts, Gandy played in 42 games with 14 starts, including appearing in six playoff games (including Super Bowl XLI).

A 4th round pick in 2005, Gandy started 20 games in his 4-year career at Texas Tech and received honorable mention All Big 12 Conference honors after not allowing a sack as a senior. Gandy was born on March 8, 1982.

The Broncos saw someone on the market they felt could do better in their system than Snell.  Sounds good to me.  We’ll see if Gandy can perform in training camp and earn a reserve role – his measurables are right where the Broncos like them, so he’s potentially a good fit.
