Anthony Treash of Pro Football Focus recently published a list predicting where the top 50 free agents will land this offseason and he believes two Broncos defenders will leave the team in March.
To be clear, this is not a report from PFF that these players are leaving or that Denver won’t try to re-sign them — it’s merely a prediction.
Treash predicts that cornerback Chris Harris will sign a two-year, $26 million contract with the Texans that includes $13 million guaranteed. If that’s what it would take to re-sign Harris, it seems like Denver should have a shot of bringing him back.
Treash also predicts that defensive lineman Shelby Harris will sign a four-year deal with the Lions worth $16.5 million with $7 million guaranteed. That also seems like a contract that the Broncos would be able to handle.
Treash does have the team re-signing safety Justin Simmons to a four-year, $57 million contract with $31.5 million guaranteed. He also has the team signing Ravens free-agent defensive lineman Michael Pierce to three-year, $15 million contract with $6.5 million guaranteed.
The new league year and NFL free agency will begin on March 18.
