Following the Denver Broncos final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, I’m going to release my one and only 53 man roster. Here is my best educated guess, based on what I’ve seen and what the Broncos have done in the past. I’ll go position by position, putting the total player counts in parenthesis:
Quarterbacks: Jay Cutler and Patrick Ramsey (2)
Cuts: Darrell Hackney (1)
Full Backs: Cecil Sapp and Peyton Hillis (4)
Cuts: none
Running Backs: Selvin Young, Andre Hall, Ryan Torain and Michael Pittman (8)
Cuts: Anthony Aldridge (2)
Tight Ends: Daniel Graham, Nate Jackson, Tony Scheffler, Mike Leach (12)
Cuts: Chad Mustard and Brett Pierce (4)
Wide Receivers: Brandon Marshall, Darrell Jackson, Eddie Royal, Brandon Stokley and Clifford Russell (17)
Cuts: Keary Colbert, Glenn Martinez and Marquay McDaniel (7)
Offensive Linemen: Ryan Clady, Ben Hamilton, Tom Nalen, Chris Kuper, Ryan Harris, Casey Wiegmann, Kory Lichtensteiger, Erik Pears and Dylan Gandy (26)
Cuts: Mitch Erickson and Tyler Polumbus (9)
Defensive Tackles: DeWayne Robertson, Marcus Thomas, Alvin McKinley and Kenny Peterson (30)
Cuts: Nic Clemons and Steven Harris (11)
Defensive Ends: Elvis Dumervil, John Engelberger, Jarvis Moss, Ebenezer Ekuban and Tim Crowder (35)
Cuts: Paul Carrington and Larry Birdine (13)
Linebackers: DJ Williams, Boss Bailey, Nate Webster, Niko Koutouvides, Louis Green, Spencer Larsen and Wesley Woodyard (42)
Cuts: Jordan Beck, Miguel Padilla and Jamie Winborn (16)
Corner Backs: Champ Bailey, Dre Bly, Domonique Foxworth, Karl Paymah and Jack Williams (47)
Cuts: Tyrone Poole and Wale Dada (18)
Safeties: Marlon McCree, Marquand Manuel, Hamza Abdullah and Josh Barrett (51)
Cuts: Roderik Rogers and Vickiel Vaughn (20)
Kicker: Matt Prater (52)
Punter: Sam Paulescu (53)
Cut: Brett Kern (21)
There you have it… Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos must decide by 2:00 PM today.
Am I off my rocker? Think Denver’s not getting rid of Anthony Aldridge, Jaimie Winborn and Keary Colbert? Let me have it in the comments.
