Denver Broncos cut ties with one of their quarterbacks
The Denver Broncos are one quarterback lighter after releasing Ben DiNucci on Wednesday. The move comes just ahead of the start of rookie mini-camp and more than anything, seems to pave the way for John Matocha, the Colorado School of Mines quarterback who will be getting a tryout at the mini-camp. DiNucci was one of four quarterbacks on the roster after the Broncos drafted Bo Nix in the first round and trading for Zach Wilson.

Expert Commentary
Quarterback thirst has officially gone too far. There’s simply no need for the Broncos to force this pick here. Bo Nix does not have the profile of the quarterback that’s going to save Denver. Bo Nix, Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham will battle it out this summer for the right to be the starter, but Nix is closer to being a backup in the NFL than a franchise starter.

The Broncos needed a pass rusher and Elliss is a great value at this point in the draft. He’s a high-floor guy who should be able to start right away.
