Denver acquired Bouye last March, hoping that the Pro Bowler could provide them with a reliable option in the secondary. But the 27-year-old player was anything but reliable, as he missed a total of nine games in 2020.

Bouye suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1 that kept him on the sidelines for four weeks and had to sit out one more game after that while in concussion protocol. He then earned a suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drugs policy and missed the final four games of the season as a result.

While on the field, Bouye was inconsistent, managing 23 tackles but failing to get a single interception for the first time in his pro career.

The Broncos’ decision was probably also motivated by financial reasons. By releasing him, the team will save around $11.7 million in the salary cap.
