10. Owen Daniels, TE

Contract: Three years, $12.25 million

Though Owen Daniels only ended up playing one year of his three-year contract with the Broncos, it was a phenomenal year.

Daniels was not the dynamic receiving threat Julius Thomas had been from 2013-14, but he came in for the 2015 season and made some of the biggest plays of the season.

He caught 46 passes for 517 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season, but his performance in the AFC Championship game against the New England Patriots will go down as one of the most memorable in Broncos postseason history.

Daniels caught a pair of touchdown passes in that game against the Patriots to help send the Broncos to Super Bowl 50, where he also made a big 18-yard catch.

Daniels became a very important piece of a Broncos offense that struggled throughout the season, helping the team win Super Bowl 50 by scoring a pair of touchdowns against Tom Brady and the defending champion Patriots.
