  "account": "On August 29, 2026, the Denver Broncos announced they have waived outside linebacker Ron Stone Jr. According to Mike Klis of 9News, the team has been making cuts, waiving both Ron Stone Jr. and defensive tackle Israel Antwine, who were recent UFL signees. Stone Jr. was added to the Broncos' roster just the previous week, having been a former UFL star with the Columbus Aviators. He initially entered the league as an undrafted free agent after the 2024 NFL Draft, previously playing with the Las Vegas Raiders. Denver has shown a focus on scouting the UFL for talent this offseason, as they signed Dondrea Tillman, who has become a valuable depth pass rusher. However, being a late addition to training camp, Stone Jr.'s chances of making the roster are slim. It remains to be seen if the Broncos have a long-term plan for him, particularly if they need to fill out their practice squad next week.",
