The NFL’s free agency negotiating window will open on Monday (March 13) and teams will be permitted to agree to terms with free-agent players. Any potential contracts agreed to on Monday or Tuesday, though, will not become official until the NFL’s new league year begins on Wednesday (March 15).
Going into free agency, the Denver Broncos have around $33 million worth of salary cap space. Denver created about $26.5 million of that cap space last Friday when they released three players in cap-related moves.
More cap casualties could be on the way, too, and the Broncos could create additional cap space and add more draft picks through trades.
Denver has 25 players scheduled to become free agents on Wednesday. We’ve put together lists of players the Broncos should re-sign, and players the club should let walk in free agency.
We’ve also put together a list of 10 positions of need for Denver, most notable including right tackle, running back and backup quarterback.
With that in mind, here’s a look at 100 players the Broncos should have on their free agency big board this spring. Each player’s age is listed in parentheses.
