The time is never too soon to start thinking about the future, and while the Broncos have one of the best rosters in the NFL, the team could look a heck of a lot different when the 2014 season kicks off.
The Broncos have a total of 22 free agents in 2014. UFA stands for Unrestricted Free Agent, which means that player will immediately hit the open market. RFA stands for Restricted free agent, which means the player is on the open market, but the Broncos have the opportunity to match any offer that player receives or they are entitled to draft pick compensation. ERFA stands for Exclusive Rights Free Agent, which almost always means that player isn’t going anywhere if the team doesn’t want him to.
There are some BIG names on this list. Namely, Eric Decker, Chris Harris, Wesley Woodyard, Zane Beadles, Robert Ayers, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Trindon Holliday…the Broncos will find a way to make it all work out but there is a strong chance they will have to make some moves this offseason that the fans won’t be fans of.
