The Denver Broncos have announced the release of six player who were acquired during the Mike Shanahan era.
Gone are defensive end John Engelberger, tight end Nate Jackson, linebacker Niko Koutouvides, safety Marquand Manuel, defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, and linebacker Jamie Winborn.
Engleberger has been acquired via trade with the 49ers in 2005. Jackson also came in a trade with San Fran, circa 2003.
Koutovides arrived last year via free agency from the Seahawks. Ditto for Manuel, but from the Panthers.
The Broncos traded for Roberston, the fourth overall pick in the 2003 draft, last year. Winborn was signed as a free agent in 2007.
The moves clear $6.425 million in 2009 salary commitments.
Per the Associated Press, Robertson was scheduled to have a cap figure of $16 million, even though according to NFLPA records his base salary was due to be only $900,000.
