Bold prediction: Engram out before camp
22 May
Summary
- Rookie tight end Justin Joly may get immediate playing time.
- Evan Engram's roster spot is in question for the upcoming season.
- The team could save $6.47 million by releasing the veteran tight end.
As the Denver Broncos prepare for organized team activities, a bold prediction has surfaced regarding veteran tight end Evan Engram.
Following the team's selection of tight end Justin Joly in the fifth round of the NFL draft, it's speculated that Joly will immediately carve out a role.
This influx of new talent has led to speculation that Engram, who joined the Broncos last year, might not be on the roster by the start of training camp. Releasing Engram, a 31-year-old, could save the team $6.47 million with a post-June 1 designation. Despite his underwhelming performance last season, the team's promotion of Davis Webb to offensive coordinator, a former teammate and friend who helped recruit Engram, could potentially increase his involvement in the offense this fall. However, the possibility of his release before training camp in late July remains a talking point.
