The Denver Broncos have released a key member of their offensive line, Louis Vazquez. NFL media insider Ian Rapoport was the first to report the news.
The #Broncos are releasing guard Louis Vasquez, source said. Clearly some space, as he was to hit at $6.75M.

This move gives Denver $5.5 million following his release. More importantly it give the Broncos about $13 to work with in free agency. The move is likely a way to free up cap space to sign free agent quarterback Brock Osweiler. Denver’s offensive line will need a major overhaul to say the least.
Denver has already lost Malik Jackson to the Jaguars and could find other key members of their defense pried away as well. fellow guard Evan Mathis is also a free agent who the team could decide to bring back.
