The Broncos waived Sterns on Monday, Jon Heath of USA Today reports.

EDGE Analysis

Denver was looking to deal Sterns after the 24-year-old missed 28 regular-season games over the past two seasons, but the team failed to find a trade partner and waived him instead. The Texas product has appeared in only 21 regular-season games across his three years in the NFL, recording 36 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while also defending nine passes, with four interceptions. Expect Sterns to find a new home quickly, as he could be an enticing option for a team searching for a depth piece in the secondary.
