Broncos to release Stewart for cap savings
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' "No Fly Zone" secondary is now just the "No Fly Guy."
The Broncos, in need of salary cap space before free agency opens March 13, have informed safety Darian Stewart that he'll be released. Stewart, who had two years remaining on his four-year extension through 2020, was slated to count $6.37 million against the salary cap in 2019.
With Bradley Roby also set to depart via free agency, cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will be the lone player remaining from a secondary that led the league in pass defense in back-to-back seasons and helped power the team to a Super Bowl 50 win.
