According to Mike Klis, the Broncos are releasing DL Zach Kerr on Monday.
The move is slightly unexpected, per Klis, but makes sense given the Broncos depth on the defense line and the improvement from DL DeMarcus Walker.
Kerr had re-signed with the Broncos on a two-year deal this past offseason.
Kerr, 28, wound up signing on with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of Delaware back in 2014. He managed to make the 53-man roster in all three of seasons with the Colts.
However, Indianapolis declined to tender him a restricted offer, which allowed him to test the open market as an unrestricted free agent in 2017. The Broncos later signed him to a two-year contract.
In 2018, Kerr appeared in all 16 games for the Broncos and recorded 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a pass defense. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 73 interior defensive lineman out of 112 qualifying players.
