New Denver Broncos general manager George Paton has made his first official roster moves.

No, it wasn’t a trade to net a new quarterback, at least not yet. Instead, he decided to trim some unnecessary fat as the team prepares for the 2021 season.

On Tuesday, the Broncos decided to part ways with defensive back Alijah Holder, defensive lineman Joel Heath, tight end Jordan Leggett, offensive lineman Darrin Paolo and wide receiver Fred Brown.
