Mike Klis of 9 News writes that the Broncos are expected to part ways with veteran S T.J. Ward in the coming days and would, obviously, prefer to do so through a trade.
Klis mentions that the main reason why Ward is at risk of losing his spot on the team is due in part to Justin Simmons‘ development this year.
Both Simmons and Will Parks appear to be ready to take on larger roles in the Broncos’ defense by moving on from Ward, they could also free up some cap space that could be used to sign players such as K Brandon McManus and LB Todd Davis to contract extensions.
