Denver opted to move on from Patrick after seven seasons and 143 receptions for 2,009 yards and 12 touchdowns — but also consecutive campaigns lost to a torn ACL and an Achilles injury, respectively. He hasn't caught a regular-season pass since Jan. 8, 2022. His medical history notwithstanding, the soon-to-turn 31-year-old ultimately fell victim to the numbers game. Patrick was lapped on the depth chart by free-agent addition Josh Reynolds and seventh-round rookie Devaughn Vele, a younger, cheaper, and less injury-prone WR who shares a similar playstyle.
“Yeah, obviously not an easy one," Broncos general manager George Paton said of the decision to part with Patrick. "Just on behalf of everyone in our organization, just can't say enough great things about the type of player and the person Tim has been while a Bronco for the last seven seasons. We have a lot of great respect for Tim the resilience, the work ethic and the perseverance the last two years to come back from the injury and play like he did.
