Matt Paradis, C (RFA)

Matt Paradis is the Denver Broncos’ version of Iron Man.

He has started every single game over the past three years, including the 2016 season where he played through two very serious hip injuries that required surgery.

Paradis has been excellent for the Broncos over that three-year span, and will attract attention as a free agent this offseason.

The Broncos, like with Barrett, are likely to tender Paradis at a second-round level, but could always work out a sign-and-trade with another team if they determine this year to be the highest value Paradis will have to them.

The reason Paradis could depart Denver this offseason is that the team is comfortable with Connor McGovern at center. If they are comfortable enough, then dealing Paradis seems likely this offseason.

If they determine none of their offers are good enough, then Paradis will be back on the RFA tender at a second round value next year. A very reasonable (and cheap) price for a player of his caliber.
