A.T. Perry waived (Unclaimed off waivers); Perry signs to the Broncos practice squad

I mean MT was a shell of himself, Johnson was hurt most of the year, and Moreau was recovering from cancer. Plus Moreau and Johnson are TEs and Johnson and Moreau's years were big disappointments.

He was a solid prospect, but the guy played significant snaps in 8 or 9 games last year and only had 12 catches. 4 of those were TDs and that's what makes him stand out in people's minds. But sometimes those things are statistical anomalies and if a guy can't learn the playbook two years in a row, there may be issues. Still, it would have been nice to have him on the PS, but he refused the offer.

That's all fair. I've heard the playbook thing before but not from any kind of official source. AT was a 6th round rookie on a busted offense that seemed to be pulling things together at the end of the season in 2023. Him being cut isn't anything to riot over, but it seems like a lost opportunity to coach up a guy with good hands and size that is rare. That he only has 6 less TDs in 10 games and 18 targets than Olave has in 36 games and 285 targets just makes me scratch my head why we'd give up on him instead of someone like Rico Payton who was a UDFA at a position of depth. And we're talking about trading for a WR? It's just odd to me.
