Broncos mailbag: Will Denver make any major moves before the season?

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 21:01:14 GMT

Can we expect any other major moves before the season kicks off? If so, what do you see happening during training camp? — Terry, Denver Hey Terry, I’m filling in for Parker Gabriel this week while he is on vacation. This is a great question. I’ve wrestled with this one since Denver signed Frank Clark.At the moment, I don’t see the Broncos making a major move, but it wouldn’t hurt to add more depth at the defensive line or offensive tackle.Coach Sean Payton has been optimistic about Javonte Williams’ recovery from a torn ACL. However, if the team feels Williams won’t be ready by Week 1, I can see them adding another running back despite having a handful of players in that position. Free agent Dalvin Cook would make the offense even stronger, but it’s highly unlikely they will sign him due to the cap situation. Running back Kareem Hunt or even Leonard Fournette would make more sense for Denver.If the Broncos decide to make another move before the season, there are quality ...
