1. CB Damarri Mathis: He's talented enough to serve as a No. 5 cornerback, but the Broncos are packed at cornerback and the team would save $3.4 million if Mathis is cut. Trading him for a late-round pick could be a best-case scenario.

A lot of roster projections have the Broncos keeping five safeties. Brandon Jones, Talanoa Hufanga, P.J. Locke, and J.L. Skinner are often the top four listed. Those I agree with. The fifth is usually Devon Key.
