The Denver Broncos officially cut tight end Lucas Krull today, a move that definitely clears up a crowded position room. Chris Tomasson from the Denver Gazette broke the news, confirming what a lot of folks were probably guessing after Krull’s quiet showing in training camp.
Krull’s Rocky Road To Denver Ends
Krull’s time in Denver had a few twists and turns. He first landed with the Broncos back in August 2023, signing onto their practice squad after the New Orleans Saints waived him. Turns out, he was one of those early players Sean Payton really had his eye on. Then, just this past March, Krull re-signed as a free agent, hoping to make a bigger impact. But you know how it goes, when you’re battling for a roster spot, a “fairly quiet training camp” isn’t exactly the headline you want.
The Brutal Reality of a Crowded Room
Let’s be real, the competition Krull was up against this offseason was absolutely stacked. The Broncos brought in two tight end draft picks, Justin Joly and Dallen Bently, who were pushing hard for spots. And if that wasn’t enough, they also had Caleb Lohner, last year’s seventh-round pick, in the mix. That’s a serious logjam! It truly was a crowded room, and with only so many spots, someone was always going to be the odd man out.
So, what’s next for Krull? It’ll be interesting to see if he lands on the Broncos’ 16-man practice squad. For the Broncos, this cut means the tight end battle has finally gained some clarity. The competition was fierce, and now the picture for who made the final roster is much sharper as the regular season gets underway.
