This transaction isn't even an NFL move — it's an NBA roster cut, making it entirely irrelevant to football merit. Headlines confirm Bates, a Missouri basketball product, was waived by Denver's NBA squad. The key signal here is a fractured foot surgery sidelining Bates for 12 weeks, accelerating the roster decision. Fans of the Nuggets note the team replaced him with David Roddy on a two-way contract. Denver fills the roster spot with Roddy, a more proven developmental option moving forward.
Denver Nuggets' release of Tamar Bates grades out as a poor deal (D), adding depth at the position. The Denver Nuggets took a risk with this release, and the results on the court will ultimately determine whether this decision pays off.
Contract details pending — will be updated when official terms are reported.
