The Denver Broncos made a couple of minor transactions on Monday as they still settle in following the NFL Draft.

Jeff Driskel has been released after just one season with the team. It was a move that most expected.

Driskel was signed as a free agent by the team last offseason to provide an experienced backup in case Drew Lock went down. Unfortunately, that came to fruition much sooner than anyone hoped, as Lock was injured in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
