The Denver Broncos’ recent rise back to competitive, meaningful football has led to one of the toughest roster cut days in recent memory. A talented roster inevitably means good players end up on the short end of the stick.
On Monday, former 2022 fourth-round draft pick Damarri Mathis was waived by the Broncos ahead of the final 53-man roster deadline, a move that saved the team $3.4 million against the 2025 salary cap.
Just two days later, Mathis was claimed off waivers by the Carolina Panthers, where he reunites with his former defensive coordinator, Ejiro Evero.
