The Broncos waived five players Tuesday, the team announced.
Safety Alijah Holder, wideout Fred Brown, tight end Jordan Leggett, defensive end Joel Heath and tackle Darrin Paulo were all waived.
Only Holder and Brown had seen action for the Broncos. Holder appeared in 10 games over the past two seasons, with three tackles in eight games in 2020. The safety originally signed with Denver as a college free agent out of Stanford in 2019.
Brown, meanwhile, had two catches for 21 yards over 13 games in 2019. The former college free agent out of Mississippi State appeared in one game this year as a practice squad COVID-19 elevation, in Week 8 against the Chargers, but wasn’t targeted.
Leggett and Paulo were on the Broncos’ practice squad this past year, and Health joined the team as a practice squad addition in December 2019 but opted out of the 2020 season.
The releases were George Paton’s first moves as Broncos general manager.
