On the first day of the Broncos’ rookie minicamp, as a slew of rookies reported for duty in Denver, the club made a couple of roster changes to meet the NFL’s offseason roster limit of 90.

Denver cut punter Matt Haack and long snapper Zach Triner, according to the NFL wire. It’s a pair of special-teams subtractions to new coordinator Darren Rizzi’s unit, both signed for insurance purposes at their respective positions in the last couple of months.

Haack, 30, agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.3 million with Denver in March, after starting punter Riley Dixon left in free agency for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Broncos drafted Florida punter Jeremy Crawshaw in the sixth round of April’s NFL draft, however, and Crawshaw seems poised to step into Denver’s starting role come the fall.

Similarly, Triner, a six-year veteran began his career in Tampa Bay, was signed in April. Denver had re-upped with starting long snapper Mitchell Fraboni on a three-year deal earlier this offseason.

Denver was carrying 71 players under contract on its roster — 70, with tight end Thomas Yassmin’s international exception 鈥� before drafting seven players and agreeing to terms with 15 undrafted free-agents, all of whom have officially signed with the Broncos. That would’ve put their roster at 92, necessitating two cuts to shave down to the offseason roster limit of 90.

The Broncos are also hosting close to 20 confirmed rookies and veterans at their facility this weekend for their rookie minicamp. That could invite the possibility of further signings and cuts if a couple athletes impress.
