Stop

Nah, the Browns would probably want a king's ransom for Superbowl-winning qb Kenny Pickett. Too rich for our blood.

Until Tepper is gone, this is just people trading seats on the Titanic for a better view.

The only mildly surprising cut is Jacoby Windmon, solid young special teams player. This would suggest that Krys Barnes will make the 53

I never knew anything about him, but I remember there being some excitement around Luke Kandra as an UDFA. For all the hype around some of those UDFAs, the end result has been slightly disappointing. Guess they were UDFAs for a reason.

Per Bill Barnwell 

Broncos part ways with a CB on the roster bubble

Broncos get: 2026 seventh-round pick
Panthers get: CB Damarri Mathis

The Broncos have a rare problem among NFL teams: too many cornerbacks. ESPN's Jeff Legwold projects they could move on from Mathis, who was very good as a rookie in 2022 before losing his starting job after the defense's slow start in 2023. He played just 27 defensive snaps after Week 6 that season and 80 more across 10 games in 2024. With the Broncos using their 2025 first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron, they could justify moving on from Mathis, who might not be active on game days even if he sticks around.

Mathis' best season came with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero in Denver, and he hasn't been able to reach those same heights since Evero left for Carolina. The Panthers are set with Jaycee Horn, Mike Jackson and nickel corner Chau Smith-Wade as their three starting corners, but Mathis could push the 28-year-old Jackson and serve as Carolina's primary reserve on the outside. Mathis is owed $3.4 million in 2025, so Denver might essentially buy a draft pick by eating some of that cash, similar to what the Commanders did when they sent running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers.

If we are sending picks out I would really rather it not be for Evero selections, his track record is pretty much garbage. 

Still its just a 7th so whatever.

Dude. Stop. These were suggestions, not actual transactions.

David Moore and Jimmy Horn Jr are expected to make the team.

Happy about JHJ.  Moore is JAG.  Surprised they aren’t electing to give Tremayne his spot.

7 WRs? Thats seems like a lot.  

because no way you keep those 2 and not Renfrow 

[Carolina Mike]

With the AT still in play I would think WR side of the house will be announced at the last minute.
