Rookie Ahmari Harvey Waived With $110K Guaranteed and Broncos Fans Need Answers Now
Yo, remember when we were talking about how some teams just make wild moves? Well, our AFC West "friends" over in Denver just pulled a classic. Out of nowhere, the Broncos dropped a bombshell on Thursday, June 18, shaking up their roster with four moves that definitely caught everyone off guard. And get this: they actually waived rookie cornerback Ahmari Harvey, a dude they just handed a solid $10,000 signing bonus AND $110,000 in guaranteed salary to. Seriously, what gives?
Waiving a Rookie With That Much Guaranteed Money? Wild.
Are they serious with this? You give a guy that kind of guaranteed cash, an undrafted rookie no less, and then cut him before the season even truly ramps up? Ahmari Harvey, out of Auburn and Georgia Tech, got that $10K bonus and another $110K in guaranteed salary. That's real money, people! For an undrafted rookie, that's a sign they wanted him. To see him go this fast? It's baffling.

Meanwhile, offensive guard Nash Jones, who spent three weeks on their practice squad late last season, also got the boot. He even stuck around for their offseason program. You gotta wonder what’s going on in Denver's war room to make these kinds of calls. Are they just throwing darts at a board? It makes you appreciate the stability we're building here in the Emerald City, that's for sure.
Who's In? Meet Holskey and Cotton
So, who are they bringing in to replace these guys? They signed offensive lineman Reid Holskey and cornerback Blake Cotton. Both of these dudes were just trying out at minicamp this week. Holskey, a 24-year-old O-lineman, started every single game at right tackle for four years at Miami of Ohio, which is impressive. He even bounced around a bit last season with the Ravens and Giants, so he's got some experience.
Then there’s Cotton, a 22-year-old undrafted rookie corner from Utah and UC Davis. They’re basically swapping out one undrafted rookie corner for another, which feels like a lateral move at best. You have to wonder if these moves are an upgrade or just shuffling the deck chairs. Are these guys really going to move the needle for our division rival?
It’s mid-June, and teams are really trying to lock in their rosters for what’s ahead. For the Broncos, these moves on Thursday show they’re still figuring things out, especially in their secondary and on the O-line. It'll be fascinating to see if these new guys, Holskey and Cotton, can actually stick and make a difference when the season kicks off. As for us, the 12s, we'll keep an eye on our division rivals to see if these kinds of drastic moves pay off for them or if it's just more drama. You know our Seahawks are locked in, and we can’t wait for kickoff later this year!
