6 pending free agents Broncos should re-sign this offseason

The Denver Broncos should strongly consider re-signing these six players during the NFL offseason.

One of the most crippling blows to the Broncos’ 2019 season was the season-ending injury to Bradley Chubb. But the silver lining in that was the find of Jeremiah Attaochu, the guy the Broncos signed off the street to replace him on the roster.

Attaochu showed himself to be a great situational pass rusher and could also help soften the blow of choosing not to re-sign Shaq Barrett and then watching him become a Defensive Player of the Year candidate for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Wolfe might not be a guy who gets double digits in sacks, but I often refer to him as the heart and soul of the team’s defense and he still has plenty left in the tank.

The Broncos should consider the idea of offering Wolfe a bit of a “hometown discount” to see if they can save some money, but the team should do what it can to reach a deal with him.

Though he only played in 12 games this season as he was hampered by an elbow injury, he still posted a career-high seven sacks. That should be strong evidence that he has much more to offer.
