After a mediocre running game last year, the Denver Broncos might have to move on from at least one running back, and that could be Jaleel McLaughlin, facing a possible cut. According to Gary Davenport of Bleacher Report, the Broncos have a logjam in their running back room, so now they could be planning on releasing at least one backfield piece before the 2025 regular season. Most of the battle has been between veteran JK Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey, while McLaughlin and Audric Estime are at the bottom of the depth chart. Originally selected as an undrafted rookie in 2023, it was looking like McLaughlin would have some type of starter role in his first season, but after recording just 410 yards on 76 carries, the Broncos are continuing to explore to find their consistent running back.
