The Broncos have released the veteran linebacker, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported, per a source informed of the move.
With a $5 million base salary and just $500,000 of it guaranteed, Davis became expendable Friday after Denver acquired Austin Calitro in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Davis suffered a mild calf injury earlier in camp but is said to be healthy now, per Pelissero. Only 28, Davis still carries value for a team in need of linebacking help with the season less than two weeks away.
