There is always a level of risk involved with signing big-money players in NFL Free Agency. The Denver Broncos knew the risks when they signed linebacker Dre Greenlaw in the 2025 offseason, but his arrival in the Mile High City was arguably the most anticipated of any move the team made last year.
Now, just one year later, Greenlaw is gone. The Denver Broncos have admitted their mistake with the veteran linebacker after just one season and 10 total games (8 regular season, 2 playoffs) with the team.
Greenlaw was cut on Day 1 of NFL Free Agency after the Broncos were able to bring back both Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton, and there were signs that made this move extremely obvious (if you were paying attention).
