Free agency has begun with a flurry, but several of the top players at positions of need for the Broncos remain on the market.
After signing Russell Wilson, bolstering the offensive line is a priority for GM George Paton. Terron Armstead is still available, yet may command too high a price for Denver. Paton may be saving the big bucks to throw at one of the pass rushers, with rumors linking both Chandler Jones and Randy Gregory to the franchise.
According to Broncos Insider Mike Klis, Paton is waiting on the price to come down on Jones. During an interview with the NFL Players Podcast, Jones revealed that scheme and fit were a bigger selling point for him over getting the largest contract, but I'm sure some blend of the two is what he is looking for.
Randy Gregory has had off the field issues and PED suspensions in his past, but is an elite talent nonetheless. Former Bronco Von Miller is also on the board, but his postseason success in LA may have raised his price tag higher than it should be, especially concerning his lack of production in Denver over the last several seasons.
We should know today where many of these guys are signing, and one of them at least is sure to be a Bronco. Here is the SportsLeaf top-5 target FA list for the Broncos as of Tuesday 3/15 (beware the Ides of March).
