The Facts: The Broncos are releasing Hamilton, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hamilton is said to be fully recovered from the torn ACL he suffered last off-season. Hamilton was set to be traded to San Francisco before his injury in 2021 and the former fourth-round pick is expected to draw interest.

Diehards Line: Hamilton was waived with a non-football injury designation but went unclaimed. He was subsequently placed on Denver’s non-football injury list. Hamilton appeared in 46 games with nine starts in his first three seasons. Hamilton caught 23 passes for 293 yards with a pair of touchdowns in 2020, playing 50 percent of Denver’s offensive snaps. A fourth-round pick in the 2018 draft, Hamilton has 81 career receptions for 833 yards with five touchdowns.
