Jordan Matthews, WR

While Jordan Matthews wouldn’t bring the sentimental value Eric Decker brings to the table, he would give the Broncos an experienced slot player with a history of high level production.

Matthews will turn 26 this year, and could be in the market for a one or two year contract at a very reasonable cost.

If the Broncos were able to secure his services for the next two seasons, he could potentially allow them some flexibility next offseason with Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders both in interesting contract situations.

Matthews was much more productive from 2014-2015, and had a really down year statistically this past year for the Bills. That said, he is definitely capable of coming in and making an impact. He ran over 73 percent of his routes from the slot in 2017.
