No. 9 – Shelley Smith
The Colorado State product has seen a rapid decline since posting 14 appearances and two starts for the Rams in 2013. He made the field in 11 games for Miami last year, including three starts, but was released by the team in March.
He’s battled a knee injury suffered in Miami, but has yet to make even one active game day roster for the Broncos. Max Garcia’s ability to play both guard and center make him a better choice on game day but at $1.4M this year ($1M cap hit) and $2.75M next year ($500K cap hit), Smith is an expensive inactive each week.
