The Denver Broncos announced 30 roster moves on Tuesday after finalizing an initial 53-man roster .
Broncos general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton waived 21 players who fewer than four years of experience. Those players will now be subject to the NFL's waiver wire and could be claimed by other teams.
Denver also waived one player (running back Blake Watson ) with an injury settlement. Because he received a settlement, Watson will become a free agent if he clears waivers.
Additionally, the Broncos placed one player (defensive lineman Kristian Williams ) on the waived/injured list. If he clears waivers, Williams will revert to Denver's season-ending injured reserve list.
The team also placed fullback Michael Burton (hamstring) on season-ending injured reserve and linebacker Drew Sanders (foot) on short-term IR . Sanders will be eligible to return after four games.
Finally, the Broncos released five players. Because they are vested veterans, the released players are not subject to the waiver wire. They are now free agents, permitted to sign with any team.
