Broncos Part Ways With Fullback Gronkowski

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) -  Chris Gronkowski  became an unrestricted free agent after the Denver Broncos declined to issue a contract tender to the third-year fullback Friday. The Broncos tendered running back  Lance Ball , punter Britton Colquitt  and backup offensive tackle  Chris Clark . The team would have a week to match any offers the restricted free agents might receive between the March 12-19 signing period. The Broncos also issued contract tenders to defensive tackle  Mitch Unrein  and cornerback  Tony Carter  as exclusive rights free agents who can’t negotiate with other teams. The Broncos obtained Gronkowski, the brother of Patriots star tight end  Rob Gronkowski , in a trade from the Indianapolis Colts for defensive back  Cassius Vaughn  last spring. Gronkowski had one reception for 11 yards and no rushes last season. (© Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.
