The Denver Broncos signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw to a three-year contract last March, but he won’t make it into the second year of that deal.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Broncos will release Greenlaw.
Greenlaw was set to make $7.47 million, but none of the money was guaranteed and releasing him before March 5 avoids $2 million of that compensation becoming guaranteed. The Broncos will clear a little more than $6 million in cap space with over $4.3 million in dead money.
