Ronald Leary

Another case of the injury bug. Leary tore his Achilles in mid-October last year. Achilles injuries are not easy to come back from.

Leary is just 29. However, his roster spot could be in danger, depending on free agency and draft results. But the Broncos should keep him.

The reason, again, is because of continuity. No, he did not play most of the 2018 season, but was important for the 2017 season.

Leary has plenty of potential. He was a great player for the Dallas Cowboys from 2012-2016 and helped Demarco Murray rush for over 1,800 yards in 2014.

It is going to be quite interesting to see what the Broncos decide to do with Leary, but I think it would be smart to explore a change in his contract to help the team.
