Justin Strnad, Linebacker

The Broncos re-signed Justin Strnad a couple of weeks ago just as he was about to sign a deal with the Carolina Panthers. But that doesn't guarantee him a roster spot.

Strnad is a player similar to Turner-Yell, used mostly for special teams and has not looked great when pressed into defensive action. The Broncos also re-signed Jonas Griffith this offseason before giving a free-agent deal to Cody Barton.

Depending on what the Broncos do with second-year player Drew Sanders, the team could have a solid group at the inside linebacker spot.

Strnad could easily become expendable under the scenario, particularly if the team finds a serviceable option through the undrafted route.

Strnad will be playing in his fifth season with the Broncos. He has just 46 career tackles.
