Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that Randy Gregory was traded, rather than released. We reported on Wednesday he was released after the Broncos were unable to find a trade partner, but that release had not become official.
The Broncos began trying to move him on Tuesday night and told him then he would be cut without a deal. The Broncos found a taker in the 49ers. While details are emerging, it's likely Denver had to eat a chunk of the remaining $10.9 million on Gregory's salary this season to facilitate the deal. Also, veteran Frank Clark, whose own roster spot has seemed tenuous at times since the end of training camp, could return this week from a torn abductor/groin injury.
The Broncos agreed to the deal and eased Gregory slowly back into the fold. He began the 2022 season with a flourish, looking like Denver’s best player in the season’s first month. He posted two sacks, seven quarterback hits, two tackles for a loss and a pair of forced fumbles. However, he hurt his knee at Las Vegas on Oct. 2, and missed the next nine games. When he returned, he was not himself.
I asked coach Sean Payton about needing more production from Gregory last Friday and he said that nobody played well against Miami. But it was telling when he didn’t defend Gregory and then Bonitto started in front of Gregory last Sunday vs. the Bears. A second-year pro, Bonitto delivered a career performance with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble that Cooper scooped up and raced 35 yards for a score.
