With the Broncos choosing not to put cornerback Chris Harris Jr. on injured reserve, they needed to make room for the addition of cornerback Jamar Taylor.
Denver will waive offensive tackle Cyrus Kouandjio in a corresponding move, Ryan O’Halloran of the Denver Post reports.
Kouandjio signed Nov. 20 and played in the past two games.
Kouandjio, 25, also spent time with the Broncos last season, playing in three games with one start. The Broncos released him out of the preseason in September.
The Bills made Kouandjio a second-round pick in 2014. He appeared in 25 games with seven starts in his three seasons in Buffalo.
I can remember it like it was yesterday. Doug Whaley was doing cartwheels over being able to pick this guy in the second round. When asked about the game wherein Kouandjio surrendered 7 sacks to an undersized defensive end, Whaley laugjed at the question and said “There arent any 200 pound defensive ends in the NFL.” Ignoring the fact there are many sich Safeties. And that in the NFL, guys who weigh 260 pounds move like guys in vollege who weigh 200 pounds. Guys like defensive ends. Good for Kouandjio. Bad for the Bills.
Whaley traded up for Sammy Watkins in the first round and took Kuondjio in the 2nd that year.
And all 3 are now gone.
After watching him at Alabama, I thought Kouandjio would be awesome in the NFL.
I guess Whaley wasn’t the only one that was wrong about him.
Also, to be fair, literally everyone felt Sammy Watkins was a can’t miss WR prospect.
