The Broncos arent done making choices about cornerbacks. Davontae Harris and Duke Dawson, both of whom played for the Broncos last season, are also fighting to make the roster. If the Broncos have actually chosen to keep Bassey on the 53-man lineup, it might come down to Harris and Dawson for the 6th cornerback spot.
When the team traded Isaac Yiadom to the New York Giants for a seventh-round pick on Wednesday, the Denver Broncos cornerback depth chart ended up being clearer.
The news of the Broncos delivering Yiadom– Denvers 2018 third-round pick– to the Giants was first reported by Ryan OHallaran of The Denver Post.
Yiadoms two seasons with the Broncos saw him thrust into the beginning lineup multiple times, in which he demonstrated inconsistent play. There were minutes when he revealed signs of being a key contributor, but just as many moments in which he provided up big plays or a penalty.
Still, the Broncos were able to get a draft pick from a group who was in requirement of cornerback help and now have nine draft choices for 2021. The Broncos are likewise without Yiadoms $750,000 base pay in 2020, in addition to $920,000 in base wage and a $34,250 exercise perk in 2021.
It didnt work out for Yiadom with the Broncos, maybe he required a modification of landscapes and will be a better fit for the Giants protective plan.

Yiadoms departure most likely signals that 2020 undrafted totally free agent Essang Bassey is making the 53-man roster. If Bassey makes the lineup, it will imply at least one undrafted gamer has actually made the Broncos 53-man lineup out of training camp in 16 of the last 17 seasons.
It appears he will at least sign up with DeVante Bausby and Michael Ojemudia as the depth gamers behind starters A.J. Bouye and Bryce Callahan if Bassey makes it.
But the Broncos arent done making decisions about cornerbacks yet. Davontae Harris and Duke Dawson, both of whom played for the Broncos last season, are likewise battling to make the roster. It could come down to Harris and Dawson for the 6th cornerback spot if the Broncos have actually chosen to keep Bassey on the 53-man roster.
