George Paton's first free agency with the Denver Broncos is nearly underway. But before the general manager looks to sign other teams free agents, he'll need to first take a look at who could be leaving Denver.
Here are the Broncos currently set to hit the open market on Mar. 17.
Graham Glasgow was John Elway’s biggest free agent signing in 2019. Glasgow turned out to be Elway’s last big-time free agent signing as the general manager of the Denver Broncos too.
But did that high price tag translate to the field? Here’s a look at Glasgow’s first season with the Broncos.
Less than a month ago, Vic Fangio stated if Elijah Wilkinson struggled, then they had Demar Dotson their to replace him.
On Sunday, the Broncos' right tackle struggled.
As Vic Fangio put it after practice, defensive coaches and players loved the way the scrimmage went. On the flip side, offensive players and coaches did not.
For a brief moment on Friday, it appeared a major change was happening on the Broncos' offensive line.
But not so fast. Elijah Wilkinson's still the starting right tacke and it's his to lose.
Vic Fangio began Friday's practice by bringing his team together in a huddle. After a minute of Fangio addressing his team, players started to hoot and holler and get hyped for whatever message the coach was delivering.
The defense took that shot of energy and ran with it to start practice. The offense, however, didn't pick up on it one bit as they came out flat, sluggish and out of tune. The energy started to hit the offense as the practice went on.
The Broncos' first padded practice of camp, on Monday, was "just OK," according to Vic Fangio.
It was clear on Tuesday, the defense got Fangio's message loud and clear. That wasn't good news for the Broncos' offense.
Vic Fangio didn't play "Under Pressure" by Queen on the loudspeakers during warmups on Sunday. But it would have been a fitting theme song for Sunday’s practice as the pass rush brought the heat.
As many new names enter the mix, the only certainty regarding the Broncos' offensive line in the coming days and weeks is the uncertainty of who the starting five will be.
With uncertainty along the Broncos' offensive line, Dalton Risner is doing extra work to make sure he's ready to play any position.
The guys discuss how Vic Fangio will approach the Broncos' new tackle situation after Ja'Wuan James opted out, answer listener questions and much more.
Elijah Wilkinson is the primary internal option, but the Broncos could look outside to replace Ja'Wuan James, who opted out Monday.
With OTAs wiped out and training camp likely to be altered, will there be much of a duel at left tackle between Garett Bolles and Elijah Wilkinson?
On paper, he did just that by signing a Pro-Bowl running back, drafting an All-American receiver and selecting one of the fastest wideouts in the draft. With all of the new additions, including key pickups on the offensive line, the Broncos will have many new faces in the starting lineup.
John Elway feels the same way about the Broncos' offensive tackle situation as the rest of Broncos County.
"We have to get better there, there’s no question about it," Elway said, regarding Denver's tackle situation. "That’s a position we have to get better at."
Pat Shurmur’s the Broncos new sheriff in town for Denver’s offense. Along with a new offensive system and playbook, the former Giants head coach could be bringing a few of his former players with him out west from the Big Apple.
John Elway, accompanied by Vic Fangio, strutted into the team auditorium late Monday morning to address the media with an unfamiliar trait—an unwavering smile. Both came prepared with plenty of news, too.
Vic Fangio’s been an advocate in Ja'Wuan James’ corner for much of the season. But after missing his 10th game of the season, despite practicing the entire week leading up to the game, Vic isn’t giving his highest-paid offensive lineman a hall pass for Denver’s 13th game of the season.
Both Derek Wolfe and Chris Harris Jr. know that trade rumors will only intensify in the wake of the Broncos' 15-13 loss to the Colts.
If Ja’Wuan James is “football cleared” to play on Sunday, they’ll be a significant change coming to the Broncos’ offensive line.
