Josh McDaniels is doing things the Patriot way...So, this is a sign of what is about to happen in KC. You have to be proven and/or earn YO' spot on the roster. No job is a given.

For all of the folks that want certain payers to be "given" a high dollar contract this year even if it is not their contract year...IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN!! LMAO!

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)—Brian Xanders isn’t wasting any time reshaping the Denver Broncos’ roster.
The team released a half-dozen players Monday, led by high-priced defensive tackle Dewayne Robertson, who was set to count $16 million against the team’s $123 million cap.
“It’s a team’s sport. One person can’t take a huge burden against the existing framework of the salary cap. So, we’ll try to spread it around and figure it out that way,” Xanders said in his first public interview since his promotion from assistant GM last week.
