The Denver Broncos are releasing veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick.
The Broncos are considering trade offers for Patrick, and if a trade isn’t made by tomorrow, the receiver will be waived. Here’s how some fans and pundits on Twitter/X reacted to the news:
Before his injury, he was the most reliable third-down WR in the league. He was doing well in camp this year. https://t.co/x2VMZ29fGO

Patrick enjoyed a great camp. His contract is a bargain, but his trade value is probably minimal considering he’s just returning from a torn Achilles and ACL. https://t.co/hhGRQqakEN

I had a good day too. https://t.co/2NZMsu49CB

If Tim Patrick performs as well as he did in 2021 (which is highly likely), plenty of teams will be interested.
Lions and Patriots both make a lot of sense. Steelers are good too. Current WR coach Zach Azzani was Patrick’s WR coach in Denver for a few years https://t.co/xGYiKSbQkx

I figured Tim Patrick would stay after taking a big pay cut (with a chance to get some money back with incentives), but I guess the Broncos prefer younger players. https://t.co/RslIWasjfl

Surprise!
TP was a great story from this training camp.
The move speaks more to what they found in seventh-round pick Devaughn Vere, who was productive, dynamic and consistent from start to finish of camp. #BroncosCountry https://t.co/kjuoQEG4Hz

Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton are like Von Miller and Bradley Chubb.#Broncos It just didn’t seem possible to get them on the field together for a full season.
It’s really the worst.

I’ve been happy with the emergence of Devaughn Vere this offseason, but I still think Tim Patrick would be a great addition to Bo Nix’s team. There seems to be some chemistry between the two. This might end up being a risky gamble for Denver.

Clearly I completely misunderstood the Tim Patrick situation.
I thought his start would be a sign of how much Sean Payton loves him, but it seems more like it was a showcase for a possible trade.
The Broncos definitely need more speed on the field, so I think Mims will slide…

Tim Patrick was a hugely popular player in Denver.
Timme was the ultimate underdog story, going from UDFA to being a key member of the offense and earning a big contract.
However, with Denver making moves to acquire younger players, the Broncos decided to move on the 30-year-old wide receiver. pic.twitter.com/ICQPZvSzox
