Now that the dust has settled from NFL teams setting their 53-man rosters and creating their practice squads for the 2026 NFL season, we can start to look back at some of the moves that were made to get there.
For the Denver Broncos, what seemed like an easily predictable 53-man roster took some twists and turns in the final hours before the rosters needed to be locked in. Will the team regret any of those decisions?
Fans are never 100 percent in agreement with a team's front office, but teams aren't always right all of the time, either. In the NFL, there are often just as many bad moves in terms of personnel as good ones. Here, we'll take a look at some moves that could come back to bite general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton.
This was a predictable decision the moment the team used a fourth-round pick on Jonah Coleman, but aside from being smaller in stature and not playing special teams, there is no reason to cut Jaleel McLaughlin. Sadly, not playing special teams and being a victim of the numbers game caught up to him.
Payton made it clear that the team went with Tyler Badie over McLaughlin for his work on special teams. It's very reminiscent of when the Broncos moved on from another terrific undrafted running back, Phillip Lindsay, in favor of Mike Boone, who did next to nothing for the team.
