The Denver Broncos are riding high at the moment. The defense is one of the best in the AFC, and the offense has had explosive moments in recent weeks to give them a noteworthy edge. 

They decided to shake up one position offense under Sean Payton on Monday afternoon, though. 

Broncos waive tight end

The Broncos are waiving tight end Greg Dulcich, according to Adam Schefter. 

The young tight end is expected to get some waiver interest. Denver attempted to trade him before the deadline but didn't find the return value they were looking for at the time. He is a former third-round pick. 

Since being drafted in 2022, Dulcich started just ten games in Denver. Even then, moving on from a day two pick rather quickly is always a bit surprising for any team. 

His physical prowess and athleticism excited the Broncos during the pre-draft process, but he just couldn't make enough of a difference on the field. At the tight end position, it's tough to get on the field if you have struggles in-line, and that was often the case for the young TE. 

Dulcich was benched earlier this season. In 2024, he has totaled just 28 yards on five receptions. 

At still just 24 years old, he certainly deserves another shot around the league elsewhere. We will see if someone can develop Dulcich into a unique offensive weapon for depth at tight end. 

As for Denver, they still have Adam Trautman, Lucas Krull, and fullback/tight end Nate Adkins on their active 53-man roster. The prior two are the largest receiving threats at the position for Denver. 

The Broncos also have tight ends Donald Parham and Thomas Yassmin on their practice squad as of now.
