These Denver Broncos veterans are on notice.
are less than two weeks away from the NFL-mandated cut-down day when the roster will be sliced and diced from 90 players down to 53. The last five to seven spots on the roster still seem wide open at this time, meaning some players need to make their final stand to prove they deserve to be on it.
Franklin needs a huge week to prove to the Broncos coaches that while he may be raw, they can't ignore how much they need a player with his level of athleticism now and in the future.Two weeks ago, I would have said Stidham’s position on the 53-man roster is secured. I'm mostly still in that place, but it sounds like Zach Wilson has closed the gap a little bit.
I would also add that Stidham's style of play is similar to that of Nix, so the offensive game plan doesn't have to change much if Nix were to get hurt .Denver Broncos linebacker Jonas Griffith celebrates a touchdown during a pre-season game between the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos on Sunday, August. 11, 2024 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
Griffith would come in on obvious run downs to help with his size/power and then Barton would substitute in on passing downs as he has at least a good understanding of zone coverage and not finding himself out of position.There might not have been any player who did more for themselves this past game than Jacobs. Yes, he was going against third and fourth-string defensive players, but he did what you would expect in dominating that level of competition.
Jacobs is in competition with Matt Peart, Alex Palczewski, and Frank Crum at this time. I could see the Broncos keeping two of the four on the roster.
