The Broncos released linebacker Boss Bailey on Wednesday morning.
He is the younger brother of Denver cornerback Champ Bailey.
Bailey, who signed with the team as a free agent in 2008, started six games last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury.
"I wasn't really surprised by it. I understand how the business goes," Bailey said. "It's a business call. I appreciate everything they've done for me since I've been here. Once you're a Bronco, you're always a Bronco."
