The Denver Broncos made two roster moves on Tuesday, which were corresponding moves after signing two players who tried out at the team's recent rookie minicamp.
The Broncos awarded free-agent contracts to wide receiver Michael Woods II and cornerback Paul Manning. That forced the team to cut two players to make room for them, and that ended up being former Dallas Cowboys running back Deuce Vaughn and cornerback William Wright.
The Broncos signed Wright as an undrafted free agent out of Tennessee following the 2026 NFL Draft, but the signing of Manning, a cornerback who played at Division II Henderson State, ended up making him expendable. The Broncos have two other undrafted cornerbacks on the 90-man roster, Brent Austin from California and out of Georgia Tech.
