Updated Best Available Free Agents-Offense

Filed under:Broncos Local Team News    

Updated Best Available Free Agents-Offense
The receiver position is still pretty deep in free agency. While it’s certainly questionable whether or not there are any starters still out there, teams looking for quality backups can still find some.

Broncos Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Denver Broncos already lost quarterback Jay Cutler this offseason, so dealing another Pro Bowl offensive player is far from ideal. Receiver Brandon Marshall wants to be dealt, but the Broncos don’t appear in a rush to accommodate that wish.

That could lead to more drama for a team that has had its share this offseason. Marshall could hold out of training camp, creating a distraction.

Marshall would also fall behind in learning the new offense and working with new quarterback Kyle Orton, which would hurt the team on the field. Marshall hasn’t practiced at all this offseason because of hip surgery.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels said he’s willing to go with the receivers that are willing to play for him, which he might have to do if Marshall digs in and doesn’t…

Updated Best Available Free Agents-Defense
There are still some quality defensive backs left in free agency. In fact, there are probably six to eight total safeties/cornerbacks that could still contribute in a major role.
