The Denver Broncos have announced they have waived TE Landon Trusty.


Maybe this year we won't go into the season with so many TEs!

I know, we have far too many.

[Dream]

Graham, Scheffler, Alexander and Leach. Maybe Mustard as a fifth, but I'd be surprised.

Wow, who the hell is bumping threads around here?

I just noticed the age of the post to which I responded.

Trusty was on IR so he wasn't on the roster.

By the time it is all said and done I think we'll have four tight ends. Obviously Graham and Scheffler and think the other two will be Leach and Jackson. Leach will make it because he's the long snapper and I think Jackson will because he not a bad receiver.

Maybe Scheffler is a better blocker than the impression I've been getting. If not, then
I could see the Broncos hanging onto Alexander or Mustard because of that. If all
who remain, besides Graham, are Scheffler, Jackson, and Leach, and Scheffler still is
learning how to block on an NFL level, then we'll be hurting for blocking when it
comes to two-tight-end short yardage and goal line situations.

Leach will be retained for STs, of course. So that leaves one spot after Graham and
Scheffler are kept. Of all the TEs, I am the biggest fan of Jackson's . . . but he's gone,
I'm afraid. He's not as talented a receiver as Scheffler, and he's not a terrific blocker.
Mustard is a terrific blocker, but little to nothing is said about his receiving capabilities.
That leaves Alexander, who is not as good a blocker as Mustard, but far better
than Jackson, and has some receiving capabilities.

So I look for a lineup of Graham, Scheffler, Alexander, and Leach.

IMHO.

I think we'll start the season with Graham and Scheffler obviously, Alexander for an extra blocking TE in goal line and certian 2 TE sets, and Leach, who is a great goal line option. Maybe Chad Mustard, but I think Jackson won't be on here. He's not that bad of a receiver but since his blocking isn't what you would call stellar due to his relatively small frame, there's little reason to keep him on the roster.

The key is have all TE's in a shotgun formation and let Cutler run the ball

Man that would be crazy if that would work

I've been under the impression that Alexander was a likely June 1 cap casualty. Is that not the case?

Shanahan has already told Alexander that he's a part of the plan this year.

You left yourself an out with "Mustard/Leach"...

we need to cut Alexander, Mustard/Leach (we dont need them both) and Jackson cause Teyo is better, younger, and has more upside than Nate so keep Johnson, cut Jackson

Your puppies will only be maimed....

[pipes]

Keep Nasty Nate Jackson

Dude........you changed your name AGAIN?!

[The Hamburgler]

Keep Nasty Nate Jackson

[The Experience]

Graham, Scheffler, Alexander, Mustard, Leach, Johnson, Jackson

out of these guys, we'll keep

Graham, Scheffler (obviously)...Leach (long snapper), and Jackson (he's the fastest of the bunch)

We have no need for Alexander since we got Graham, Mustard is just empty roster space, and Teyo Johnson hasn't proved anything in NFLE so why would he be able to do anything here?

Every year Nate Jackson somehow makes the team but is always inactive. Let's use that roster space for someone who will actually play a little.

I heard Duke is going to attempt a comeback this year. If he does, that would be great!

I second that Cinny
