The Denver Broncos may have made the majority of their major moves already in free agency, but that doesn’t mean the team won’t go bargain hunting at some point before or after the 2018 NFL Draft.

If the Broncos want to compete in 2018, they’ve got to make sure their roster has plenty of depth. I think there are still a variety of players that could not only provide depth, but could potentially become starters for the team at some point.

Here are seven free agents I think the team could potentially look into signing before the offseason is over…

Eric Decker, WR

This is an obvious one.

Decker has publicly stated he’s open to returning to the Broncos, and there’s really no good reason the Broncos wouldn’t bring him in.

Their receiver depth is not good right now. They have a lot of young players on the roster, but they have very little in the form of experienced, quality depth.

Decker could provide that.

Given both of their top receivers last year missed time due to injury, it would make sense that the Broncos would bring in Decker, who could be a starter as an outside receiver but has also proven he can play on the inside.

He played 47 percent of his snaps this past season from the slot.

Decker is 31 years old, but has history in Denver and quite frankly, unfinished business. It would be great to see him back, playing the slot while the Broncos continue to bring along Carlos Henderson.
