The Broncos set their initial 53-man roster about two hours ahead of Saturday’s 2 p.m. deadline and it includes 19 players not with the organization last year, a turnover of 35.8%.
Twenty-two players were waived, tight end Troy Fumagalli was waived/injured, cornerback DeVante Bausby was released and tight end Austin Fort (knee) was placed on injured reserve.
“We had a pretty good idea going in of what we had and we saw a lot in practice and we ended up in a good spot,” general manager John Elway said.
A good enough spot that Elway doesn’t expect to be active Sunday morning when teams can claim players off waivers.
