Former Broncos Tight End Predicted to Be Cut by Giants

The Denver Broncos’ post-Super Bowl 50 era is littered with misfires, but few sting like cutting Greg Dulcich. The former UCLA star, drafted in 2022, flashed brilliance as a rookie tight end. Now, he’s fighting for his NFL life with the New York Giants.

Dulcich burst onto the scene in 2022, snagging a 39-yard touchdown in his debut against the Los Angeles Chargers. He racked up 33 catches for 411 yards in 10 games, shining brightest in a London win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hopes soared for a dynamic playmaker.

Injuries, however, derailed Dulcich’s promise. Hamstring issues limited him to two games in 2023, and despite a healthy 2024 start, he dropped passes and missed blocks, leading to his release before the trade deadline. The Broncos’ offense never recovered its spark.

The Giants claimed Dulcich off waivers, but he saw zero targets in five games last season. Now, he competes with Theo Johnson, Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, and rookie Thomas Fidone for a roster spot. At 24, Dulcich risks becoming a journeyman.

Ironically, his biggest ally might be Russell Wilson, the former Broncos quarterback who connected with him in 2022. Wilson, now on a one-year, $10.5 million guaranteed deal with the Giants, faces his own make-or-break season. Their Denver dreams fizzled, but can they reignite in New York?

The 2025 season looms large, with the Giants facing the Broncos in a must-watch clash. Will Dulcich and Wilson salvage their careers, or fade into NFL obscurity? The answer will likely unfold this offseason.
