Report: Broncos Waive CB Michael Ojemudia
Denver Broncos management is wasting no time ripping up the proverbial floorboards at the UCHealth Training Center.
One day after dispatching its head coach and two assistants, the Broncos on Tuesday opted to waive veteran cornerback Michael Ojemudia, a high-round investment of the previous regime. The transaction was first reported by 9NEWS' Mike Klis.
Drafted No. 77 overall in 2020, Ojemudia appeared in all 16 games as a rookie, starting 11, but has since experienced a steady decline in playing time, owed largely to various injury bouts. He logged just two defensive snaps this season, his services discontinued following the emergence of rookie corner Damarri Mathis.
Ojemudia — who finishes his Broncos tenure with eight career pass deflections, four forced fumbles, and zero interceptions — is the latest in a line of third-round CB busts selected by former general manager John Elway, joining Brendan Langley (2017) and Isaac Yiadom (2018).
Such is the mantra in Dove Valley: Out with the old, the unable, the unnecessary.
"As I told the players and our staff yesterday, we’re all being evaluated," second-year GM George Paton said Tuesday.
