The Denver Broncos apparently feel comfortable going forward with Drew Lock as the primary backup as they have set Hogan free from their quarterback competition. Hogan joined the NFL as a former fifth round pick of John Dorsey back in 2016.
The Chiefs former fourth round draft pick was hoping to join Alex Smith in Washington for some success and special teams play. After spending all of last season with the team alternating between the active roster and practice squad, the Redskins cut ties with Chesson in what could be the final time.
The veteran safety could be a short-lived free agent, per Ian Rapoport, but for now the Bills have released Kurt Coleman back to free agency. At the age of 31, his best days are behind him, but he played well for the Chiefs in 2014 and went on to enjoy a few very good years thereafter with New Orleans and Carolina.
