Denver Broncos TE Jeff Heuerman was released Friday, July 31.

Footballguys View: The writing was on the wall for quite some time. Heuerman rarely stayed healthy for the Broncos and became mostly just a blocker when he was on the field. He’s a veteran with some experience but we don’t expect the market to be hot after his services. The Broncos move on with Noah Fant as the starter, Nick Vannett (Heuerman’s college teammate) as the backup and primary blocker, plus rookie Albert Okwuegbunam as a potential red-zone threat.
