Marcedes Lewis, TE
The Denver Broncos watched Virgil Green sign with the Los Angeles Chargers in free agency, and if they did nothing to replace him with a veteran, I’d be shocked.
Marcedes Lewis was a cap casualty of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and that could turn out to be one of the dumbest moves the Jaguars made.
Lewis was one of the best — if not the best — blocking tight ends in the NFL this past season. He is still a capable receiver, but he makes his mark in the running game where he moves people around.
Lewis is also a team leader and captain, something the Broncos have valued highly with their free agent pickups this offseason.
If I were the Broncos, I wouldn’t wait much longer to get Lewis into the building. He may be holding out for more than just one year on a contract, and I wouldn’t blame him. He’s going to be 34 this season, but he is in great shape and still has some good years in him, I think.
