The Denver Broncos are moving on from veteran wide receiver Tim Patrick.
The Broncos are listening to trade offers for Patrick and if they are unable to trade him by tomorrow, the receiver will be released. Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to that news on Twitter/X.
The most reliable 3rd down WR in the league before the injuries. Looked good in camp this year. https://t.co/x2VMZ29fGO

Patrick had enjoyed a terrific camp. His contract is a bargain, but his trade value is likely minimal given that he’s coming off of an Achilles rupture and an ACL tear. https://t.co/hhGRQqakEN

If Tim Patrick can be what he was in 2021 (big if!), many teams should be interested.
Lions, Patriots both make a ton of sense imo. Steelers are also a good look: current WR coach Zach Azzanni was Patrick's WR coach for a few years in Denver https://t.co/xGYiKSbQkx

After Tim Patrick took a significant pay cut (though a chance to earn money back with incentives), I figured he'd stick around. But the Broncos must like their younger players better. https://t.co/RslIWasjfl

Mind-blown!
TP was an awesome story from this Training Camp.
This move speaks more to what they found in 7th Rounder Devaughn Vele. He was productive, dynamic and consistent from start to finish of Camp. #BroncosCountry https://t.co/kjuoQEG4Hz

Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton are like Von Miller and Bradley Chubb.#Broncos never could seem to get them on the field together for a full season.
Really sucks, man.

Going to miss Tim Patrick man 😔pic.twitter.com/66N2gelVGG https://t.co/0WVmvgGYoE

Love the emergence of Devaughn Vele this offseason, but still feel like Tim Patrick is a great security blanket asset for Bo Nix. Could see the chemistry building between those two. Could be a risky gamble by Denver when it's all said and done.

I obviously completely misjudged the Tim Patrick situation.
I figured the starting reps were a sign of how much Sean Payton loved him but it looks like it was more of a showcase for a potential trade.
The Broncos definitely need more speed on the field so I assume Mims slides…

Tim Patrick was a big-time fan favorite in Denver.
Tim was the ultimate underdog story that went from a UDFA to a key piece of the offense to landing a big contract.
But with a youth movement in Denver, the Broncos decided to move on from the 30-year-old WR. pic.twitter.com/ICQPZvSzox
