The Denver Broncos are expected to officially sign two XFL players on Tuesday and they parted ways with four other players on Monday to make room for new arrivals.
The Broncos waived wide receiver Dallas Daniels, cornerback Darrious Gaines, tight Kris Leach and running back Emanuel Wilson, according to the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson. All four players signed with the team as college free agents after the draft.
Two of the players were cut to make room for quarterback Ben DiNucci and running back Jacques Patrick, who both agreed to terms with the team on Sunday.
Playing for the Seattle Sea Dragons, DiNucci led the XFL in passing yards (2,671) and ranked second in touchdown passes (20) this spring. Patrick ranked second in the XFL with 443 rushing yards and five touchdowns in 10 games with the San Antonio Brahmas.
A third cut was made to make room for safety Kareem Jackson, who agreed to a one-year deal last week and officially re-signed on Monday. The fourth cut was made to make room for a yet-to-be-signed player. A good guess might be pass rusher Jake Martin, who was cut last week.
At the time of this writing, Denver officially has three open spots on the 90-man offseason roster, with two of them set to go to DiNucci and Patrick. Time will tell if Martin is the third.
