5 roster cut reunions for the Denver Broncos that make sense

The Denver Broncos could be one of the NFL's most active teams after roster cuts were turned into the NFL on Tuesday afternoon, and we could see some intriguing possible reunions with the team. As the Broncos have consistently reshaped the roster over the last handful of years, we've seen many players come and go, but there are a lot of former Denver Broncos that hit free agency or the waiver wire that could actually make quite a bit of sense to come back.

But who?

Let's take a look at five names that are floating out there, some former Denver Broncos players who could make a return to the Mile High City to help the team get back on track.

5 reunions the Denver Broncos could pursue after roster cuts

1. Bradley Roby, cornerback

Not that this is the most likely of reunions, but it would make sense for veteran cornerback Bradley Roby to return to the Denver Broncos here in 2023. Roby was a first-round pick by the Broncos out of Ohio State back in 2014, and he helped the team form the "No Fly Zone" and win Super Bowl 50.

Roby has had a fruitful career outside of Denver with Houston and New Orleans, including one year with Sean Payton as the Saints' head coach back in 2021.

The reason this reunion could make sense is quite simple at this point. K'Waun Williams is headed to short-term IR to start the year. Riley Moss could be headed for the same distinction. The Broncos are very young at cornerback and might need a veteran presence at the position. Could the Broncos tab Roby as a veteran slot option?

2. Trevor Siemian, quarterback

Dust off your no. 13 jerseys, Denver Broncos fans. Trevor Siemian could be coming back to the Mile High City.

Okay, not to drum up any fake rumors or anything, but Trevor Siemian coming back to the Broncos as a third QB on the practice squad makes a ton of sense. Not only was Siemian previously a starter in Denver, but he was a backup at one point for Sean Payton and the Saints. Believe it or not, in his lone year with the Saints (2021), Siemian started four games and had an 11:3 TD/INT ratio.

Sean Payton knows how to maximize the talent of his guys. Siemian's no. 13 in Denver is not coincidentally available. The Broncos may prefer just to bring back Ben DiNucci but Siemian is a veteran option who has proven NFL production and would be a much better use of the third QB slot than DiNucci at this point.

3. Netane Muti, offensive guard

The Las Vegas Raiders plucked Netane Muti away from the Denver Broncos last year in what was one of a number of foolish moves made by Nathaniel Hackett and his staff. Muti showed some promise in his first two NFL seasons before getting the shaft from the Hackett regime, and bringing him back to Denver as interior offensive line depth could make some sense.

As of right now, the Broncos have kept guys like Luke Wattenberg, Alex Forsyth, and (soon) Quinn Bailey as interior line depth. It might be tough for Muti to land back in Denver because his connections to the team are mostly gone, but there are obviously plenty of folks who still know him.

I would take Muti back over Luke Wattenberg in a heartbeat.

4. Seth Williams, wide receiver

The Denver Broncos used a sixth-round pick on Seth Williams in the 2021 NFL Draft. He showed a lot of promise in limited chances for the Broncos, but obviously couldn't stick because of how "deep" the team was at receiver.

Well, Williams was balling out for the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason, and because they are actually deep at receiver right now, he didn't make the cut. He chose to leave Denver last year when he did, and understandably so. but Williams might have an opportunity to come back to Denver and actually play real snaps for them.

Especially since George Paton drafted this guy, the Broncos would be fools to let him slip through waivers without putting in a claim.

5. Melvin Gordon, running back

Kidding. Kidding...Settle down.

5. Juwann Winfree, wide receiver

Indianapolis Colts fans are not happy with the team's decision to let go of Winfree, who had an impressive camp and preseason with the team. Winfree is going on 27 years old, and he was drafted out of Colorado by the Denver Broncos in the sixth round all the way back in 2019.

The fact that he's still in the league is impressive, and he was certainly one of the best practice players for the Packers for a handful of seasons. He only has a few career receptions at this point (in actual games) but the physical side has never been an issue for Winfree.

As the Broncos scour the wire for receiver options, perhaps he can figure out a way to contribute to this Denver Broncos roster after all.
