So far this offseason, the Broncos have added 16 players via reserve/future contracts and have agreed to trade a fourth-round draft pick for cornerback A.J. Bouye. On Thursday, the team made one of their first cuts of 2020.
Denver has released defensive lineman Billy Winn, ESPN’s Field Yates reported Thursday. Winn (6-4, 300 pounds) is a 30-year-old veteran with five years of experience in the NFL.
Winn entered the league as a sixth-round pick out of Boise State with the Browns in 2012. After spending the first three years of his career in Cleveland, Winn spent one season with the Colts in 2015.
In 2016, Winn signed with the Broncos and he dressed for all 16 games, totaling 19 tackles as a rotational defensive lineman. Winn missed all of the 2017 season with a torn ACL and then sat out the 2018 season.
Last April, Denver brought Winn back to provide more depth on the defensive line. He suffered a triceps injury in August and missed all of the 2019 season as well.
Winn, who hasn’t played in a regular season game since 2016, might have a hard time continuing his career after those injuries.
