Denver Broncos: Five sensible free agent cornerback options
Nickell Robey-Coleman, Los Angeles Rams (age: 26)
2017 Stats: 15 games (4 starts), 46 total tackles, 2 INTs
If the Broncos want to replace Chris Harris Jr. at the nickel position and keep him exclusively on the outside, then Robey-Coleman is an option they would consider.
In addition to being just 26 years old, Robey-Coleman has proven himself one of the toughest and most active nickel defensive backs in the NFL over the past four seasons.
He’s credited with 38 total pass breakups in that time period, as well as three forced fumbles and three total defensive touchdowns.
This guy is a playmaker.
He may price himself out of the Broncos’ range, but that all depends on how the market for nickel cornerbacks is this year. It will be tough for a team to justify paying Robey-Coleman top cornerback money if he spends the majority of his time inside, which could be in the Broncos’ favor.
