Sean Payton and the Broncos delivered a Week 5 surprise Wednesday by releasing veteran pass rusher Randy Gregory, multiple sources confirmed to The Post.
Gregory inked a five-year deal worth up to $70 million in the spring of 2022 but played in just 10 games for the franchise. He had about $28 million guaranteed on his deal.
The former second-round draft pick from Dallas missed 10 weeks with a knee injury last year and had struggled to generate production early on in 2023. On Sunday against Chicago, second-year man Nik Bonitto took his starting spot.
Gregory had a guaranteed $14 million base salary for 2023 and a cap hit of $16.1 million.
In his place, Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper are likely to continue starting, while veteran Frank Clark (hip) and Baron Browning (knee) could be back in the rotation soon.
This story will be updated.
