Taking an in-depth look at the top free agents for the Denver Broncos, and what needs they will have this offseason. What will John Elway do?

Going into the 2016 season, expectations for the Denver Broncos were all over the place. For many fans, it’s always Super Bowl or bust, and quite honestly why not? The Broncos are always a safe bet to at least be in contention.

For others, however, this season was one that included too many question marks to ignore, too much uncertainty to predict anything concrete, and finishing 9-7 is probably about as good as it was going to get.

But had the ball bounced the other way — literally — in two other games, we might be talking about an 11-win Broncos team and who knows what would have happened in the playoffs? Tough losses at home against Kansas City and on the road against Tennessee were major reasons why the Broncos were sent home this season to watch the playoffs instead of participate.

Missing the postseason is not something John Elway takes lightly, and as EVP of Personnel and General Manager, you can bet he’s going to do something about it. I want to take a look at the impending free agents for the Broncos, what each of those players brings to the table, and what the Broncos’ top needs are heading into the meat of the offseason.
