The Denver Broncos announced today that they have cut five players from their roster, executing a batch of lower-profile transactions. Several weeks after hiring former New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels as the new head coach, the Broncos cut ties with running backs Anthony Alridge, P.J. Pope, and Alex Haynes, tight end Chad Mustard, and wide receiver Cliff Russell. Pope saw the most playing time of any of the players released and put up some respectable numbers in limited action. He rushed for 130 yards on 17 carries for a 7.6 rushing average and caught three passes for 24 yards last season. Russell returned two kickoffs for a total of 44 yards, and Mustard had a 17-yard kickoff return. In the press release, there was no comment on the moves.
