With Brady Quinn now under contract at a base salary of only $700,000, the Broncos were able to part ways with last year's primary backup quarterback, Chris Simms.

According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, Simms has been released.

Simms was due to earn a base salary of $2.54 million in 2010. Last year, he earned $1.96 million.

$1.96 million, in exchange for three appearances, one start, one benching, 17 passes thrown, five completed, one interception, five sacks, and a passer rating of 15.1.

The move leaves the Broncos with three quarterbacks under contract: Kyle Orton, Quinn, and Tom Brandstater.

I heard a rumor that a 20 year old lady in GA discredited that nickname of his.

I bet he wishes someone would rupture his spleen right about now...

Good god no. I would rather have Major Applewhite who bailed out Simms in the bowl game his senior year. Now there was a winner.

Moore would just blow him away.
