Chris Harris Jr., CB

As much as keeping Demaryius Thomas would be about the sentimental value he has to Broncos Country, the same is not true of Chris Harris Jr., even though some might see it that way.

Harris is still playing at an incredibly high level for the Denver Broncos and is still capable of shutting down a team’s opposing number one receiver.

His greatness is getting overshadowed by the step back the Broncos’ defense has apparently taken as a whole this season, but Harris is still dependable, physical, smart, and a leader by example.

He’s under contract through the 2019 season for much cheaper than the going rate for star cornerbacks these days, so teams are obviously going to be interested in him for that reason.

The Broncos, however, don’t have any viable options at the position beyond this season besides him and Isaac Yiadom.
