Broncos Waive OLB Ronnie Perkins

Perkins, 24, was a three-year starter at Oklahoma and was named second-team All-Big 12 in 2019 and 2020. The Patriots took Perkins with pick No. 96 overall in the third round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Perkins signed a four-year deal worth $4,785,850 that also included a $840,618 signing bonus. He was in the third year of that deal when the Patriots waived him coming out of the preseason and re-signed him to the practice squad. 

Denver signed him to the active roster earlier this season. 

In 2023, Perkins has appeared in five games for the Broncos and recorded eight total tackles and two tackles for loss.
