BREAKING: Broncos Release Two Rookies for Unprofessional Conduct and Not Fitting Team Culture

“We’re building something that demands accountability,” Payton said in a post-practice press conference.
“It’s not just about how you perform on the field — it’s how you carry yourself in the building, in the film room, in the locker room. We don’t compromise on that.”
Team insiders say the duo failed to follow curfew, skipped a scheduled team meeting, and displayed a lack of engagement during walkthroughs. While no legal or criminal behavior is involved, the coaching staff reportedly viewed the actions as serious enough to warrant immediate dismissal.
The Broncos have made character and chemistry a priority under Payton’s new leadership, especially as the team looks to rebound from recent losing seasons. Veterans and captains have echoed this focus, pushing for younger players to “earn their stripes” through effort and humility.
On social media, fans largely supported the move, praising the no-nonsense tone being set early in camp. Some noted that tough calls like this could lay the groundwork for a cultural reset in Denver.
With roster cuts looming in the weeks ahead, the Broncos have made their message clear: talent may open the door — but character keeps you in the room.
