Broncos Predicted to Strangely Cut Ties With 24-Year-Old Starter
On paper, the Denver Broncos have one of the best defenses in the NFL. With the additions the Broncos made during the offseason, there's a strong argument to be made that they have the best secondary in the NFL.
With that in mind, there could be a scenario where the Broncos look to cut some of their players before the season, including defensive back Ja'Quan McMillian, a 5-foot-10, undrafted 24-year-old.
In a recent prediction from Bleacher Report, they had the Broncos moving on from him. Kristopher Knox added that it could save the Broncos $1 million in cap space.
“The Denver Broncos tendered exclusive-rights free agent Ja’Quan McMillian this offseason but could still move off of last year’s nine-game starter,” Knox wrote. “McMillian has been a fairly solid role player in Denver. However, the Broncos did just use a first-round pick on Jahdae Barron, who could push McMillian out of the slot role. Parting with McMillian could save just over $1 million in cap space.”
$1 million in cap space doesn't do much, but something is better than nothing in these situations.
If there isn't a place for McMillian to play, moving on from him might not be the worst idea.
During the 2024 season, he appeared in 17 games, intercepting two passes. McMillian has played well throughout his young career, but the Broncos are loaded in the secondary.
Without much of a place for him to play, they could view that roster spot as more important for a player of a different position.
