Sign Calais Campbell

Perhaps my favorite idea of the whole offseason is signing Denver native Calais Campbell, who is the type of leader John Elway loves to have on the team.

The Broncos have a need on the edge opposite Derek Wolfe, and Campbell would be a phenomenal piece for this defense getting back on track in the run game. Campbell is 30, and is playing at an incredibly high level still. The Cardinals could certainly try to keep him around, but if he hits the open market, a homecoming to Denver makes a lot of sense.

This is someone who — at 6-7, 300 plus — is a major disruptive force against both the run and the pass. He can set the edge and clog running lanes. He is a playmaker and would be a great investment for this team after losing Malik Jackson a year ago.
