Englewood, CO -- (Sports Network) - The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Samie Parker on Monday.

Parker joined the club as an unrestricted free agent on April 15 after spending the first four seasons of his career playing for division-rival Kansas City, where he tallied 110 receptions for 1,529 yards and seven touchdowns. The 27- year-old had 24 grabs for 298 yards and two scores last season.

The Oregon product was a fourth-round selection by the Chiefs in the 2004 draft.
