Sources revealed to ESPN on Wednesday that the Denver Broncos have decided to release Randy Gregory from his contract. This brings an end to any hopes for the outside linebacker to become a start in the team.
Gregory signed a five-year, $70 million contract in March 2022, at which point he hoped to become an elite pass-rusher. With a $14 million base salary this season and another $5 million during the next season. His tenure at the Broncos deteriorated quickly, however, with the player and his representatives asking for a release from his Broncos contract earlier this week.
This season, the Broncos have been near the bottom of the league in almost every defensive category. Still, Gregory has had limited involvement, with the player being pulled from the starting lineup against the Chicago Bears last week. This season, he has just nine tackles in four games and one sack.
