Sterns fell too far behind the proverbial eight ball.
The Broncos coach evidently subscribes to the time-tested football adage that "one cannot make the club from the tub." In other words: if you're unable to play, the team will find the next man up whogo. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business — and Sterns hasn't done a whole lot of late.
“The depth," Payton pointed to in justifying Sterns' departure. "I visited with Caden this morning and just told him that right now we felt like it was in the best interest of our team. Especially this early where he’ll have a chance to either possibly sign with another team or possibly be traded. Part of it is the byproduct of some of these other guys that are playing ahead of him right now.
“Look he is not there yet, but it’s nice to see him back on the field," Payton said last week of the 2021 fifth-round pick. "It took a while so we just have to be real measured and smart with his acclimation back, but it’s good to have him back out here.”
