Broncos cut QB Mark Sanchez

Yates, who made his bones in the Kubiak system, ultimately starting and winning the first playoff game in Texans history.

Mark Sanchez looks to have found his landing spot after being released by the Denver Broncos on Saturday.

Dallas had to make room on the 53-man roster for Sanchez after signing the six-year veteran to a one-year contract.

The Broncos ended up selecting Paxton Lynch in the draft, but still, Sanchez was seen as the frontrunner given his experience with the Jets and Eagles, which included 72 starts.

Quarterback Paxton Lynch #12 of the Denver Broncos drops back to pass during the first half of the preseaon National Football League game against the Arizona Cardinals at the University of Phoenix Stadium on September 1, 2016 in Glendale, Arizona.

Now the team is anxious that since Presscott has never started a regular-season game he may have some struggles to overcome as Romo’s replacement. The Broncos is also rumored to be interested in acquiring Colin Kaepernick from the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, Sanchez never had a chance to be on the starting lineup for the team. He’s thrown 86 touchdowns and 84 interceptions in 75 games.

In the preseason, however, Sanchez proved ineffective and unimpressive while Trevor Siemian would go on to win the starting job. The Jets released him after the season. NY also qualified for the AFC Championship with Sanchez under center the following year. And Sanchez always will be remembered for his Buttfumble in an ugly 49-19 loss to the Patriots on November 22, 2012, his final season with the Jets.

The Broncos and Browns crossed paths earlier in the day when former Broncos punter Britton Colquitt, who was released earlier this week, reportedly agreed to a one-year deal. He posted an 86.6 QB rating in Philadelphia, throwing for 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 13 games.

Sanchez did not play in the last two preseason games, and his salary was regarded as too steep for a third-string quarterback.

Other veterans who failed to make the team were defensive lineman Henry Milton and running backs Ronnie Hillman and Juwan Thompson, who were beaten out by rookies Devontae Booker and Andy Janovich, a fullback, and Kapri Bibbs, who spent most of the last two seasons on Denver’s practice squad.
