Report: Broncos release RT Ja'Wuan James, plan to not pay his $10 million salary after Achilles tear

The Denver Broncos are cutting right tackle Ja'Wuan James loose, and it looks like the team won't be paying him on his way out.

The team made the decision to release James, who signed a four-year, $51 million contract with the team in 2019, a little over a week after the lineman tore his Achilles tendon while working out away from the team facility.

Before the move, the Broncos reportedly placed James on the non-football injury list with the intention to not pay him his $10 million salary for the season. A grievance from James is likely to come in response.
