Adams, Shoate waived

The Broncos continued to adjust their roster Tuesday by waiving veteran defensive tackle Sam Adams and cornerback Jeff Shoate.

In June, Adams, a 14-year veteran, signed a one-year, $1.25 million deal - a $1 million base salary and $250,000 signing bonus. He made 17 tackles after having arthroscopic surgery on his troublesome knee during the offseason.

Shoate was a fifth-round pick by the Broncos in the 2005 draft.

Linemen get a look

With two open roster spots to fill, the Broncos worked out six defensive linemen, including former Chiefs No. 2 pick Junior Siavii. Siavii was Kansas City's second-round pick, the 36th player taken, in 2004.

Also in were NFL veterans Joe Salave'a, a former Titans and Redskins defensive tackle, and defensive end Dave Ball. Ends Nic Clemons, Julian Jenkins and defensive tackle Keyonta Marshall also worked out.
