The Cowboys needed a veteran quarterback, and the Denver Broncos just released Sanchez because he wouldn’t accept a pay cut. Sanchez was released by the Denver Broncos on Saturday, Sept. 3, 2016, clearing the way for the six-year veteran to sign with another team.

If the Cowboys negotiated and signed Sanchez while he was still technically on the Broncos roster, it would be a violation of the league’s tampering rules, which could potentially lead to a fine and/or a loss of draft picks.
Peyton Manning retired a month after the Super Bowl and longtime backup Brock Osweiler bolted to Houston 48 hours later when free agency opened.
Ronnie Hillman entered training camp as the Broncos’ most-tenured running back and leading rusher of last season’s Super Bowl winning team. “Let’s put it that way”.
Last season, Davis played in three games for the Browns, including two starts, and completed 59.6 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. “It’s Trevor’s job, and he’s not going to be looking over his shoulder”.
“He should be proud”, Elway said. He made the Broncos roster each of the last two seasons, active for 30 games, but fell victim to a numbers game this season as Kapri Bibbs made the initial roster as the third running back. The former Pro Bowler could miss up to 10 weeks. “So yeah, we’re full speed ahead. But you know when you get here they have all these great players and you see why they’ve won”. When he settled down, Riley Dixon came through with a very good 45-yard punt to the Arizona 9 with no return late in the fourth quarter. “Obviously, Britton did a great job for us and really kicked well at the end of a year ago”.

Former Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson, who signed before the preseason finale in case Showers got hurt, was among those waived. “When you go with a young guy, there’s going to be some growing pains”, Elway said.
