Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtney Jackson appears to have a great shot to make the team's 53-man roster following the trade of Devaughn Vele.

Peoples-Jones was officially released on Thursday, a day after the Saints traded a fourth and sixth-round draft pick to the Denver Broncos for Vele. Peoples-Jones did not have a catch in either of the Saints' first two preseason games.

The Broncos’ trade of Devaughn Vele opens the door for Troy Franklin and rookie Pat Bryant to assume larger roles.
