DMac keeps a couple of undrafted rookies on his 53-man roster in Jeff Holland and Phillip Lindsay, and apologizes to Keishawn Bierria before cutting him. Big Al gives DMac some of his favorites for the Broncos to add to their roster so they can get a few more wins in 2018, including Brent Celek, Alfred Morris & Matt Moore.
