The Denver Broncos are considering releasing wide receiver Tim Patrick if they cannot find a trade partner before the roster cut deadline. Patrick has battled significant injuries over the past two years, missing the entire 2022 and 2023 seasons due to a torn ACL and a torn Achilles tendon, respectively. Despite his popularity and toughness, the Broncos' deep wide receiver room, bolstered by recent draft picks and free agency signings, has made his position precarious. Running back Samaje Perine is also facing a similar situation due to a crowded depth chart.
  • Tim Patrick's future with the Broncos is uncertain as the team seeks trade options.
  • The Broncos have bolstered their wide receiver corps through the draft and free agency, complicating Patrick's chances of making the roster.
  • Samaje Perine is also at risk of being cut due to the depth at running back.
