Virgil Green
Experience: 5 Years Cap Hit: $2.9 million
2015 Stats: 12 receptions; 173 receiving yards; 1 touchdown
Virgil Green is about to enter his sixth season in the NFL, and we’ve yet to see anything out of him that says he’s anything but a run-of-the-mill tight end.
As a receiver, he’s never caught more than 12 receptions in a season (last year), and as a blocker, he’s solid, not spectacular.
His biggest attribute, honestly, has been the ability to play a hybrid tight-end-full-back role for the Broncos. But with the selection of Andy Janovich, an actual full back, in the draft, they no longer need Green in that role.
And in terms of pass catching tight ends, he’s likely behind Jeff Heurman and Garrett Graham, if not Richard Gordon and Manasseh Garner, too.
Simply put, there may not be a role for Virgil Green on this team anymore.
