In addition to pawning off unwanted parts, the Broncos are making some early cuts which include a few familiar names.
According to Mike Klis of KUSA, the Broncos have released veteran running back Stevan Ridley.
The 28-year-old Ridley has never really caught on after his brief star-turn with the Patriots, when he ran for 1,263 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2012.
The Broncos have also waived running back Juwan Thompson and wide receiver Anthony Nash.
