Twitter reacts to Broncos cutting fan-favorite draft picks
Red Murdock and Justin Joly were popular draft picks and thought to be locks for the Broncos' roster. Here's how fans reacted when they were cut.
The Denver Broncos cut down their active roster from 91 to 53 players, sparking reactions on Twitter. Among the surprises were the cuts of linebacker Red Murdock and fifth-round draft pick tight end Justin Joly, both from the third day of the draft. Murdock, who had been elevated to calling plays during the preseason, was cut despite his potential.
Joly, known for his wide-open touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings, was also waived. Broncos fans expressed disappointment and concern over these decisions, with many fearing the team's TE room would remain weak.
