The Denver Broncos are not off to a great start for many with the acquisition of Joe Flacco. What moves would be disappointing in free agency?

If you ask the people who hate the Joe Flacco trade, the Denver Broncos are already off to a pretty underwhelming start to the 2019 NFL offseason.

That’s why we’re here, to talk you (and potentially ourselves) off the ledge.

Just because the fan base wants what’s best for the Broncos doesn’t mean every move has to have a universal stamp of approval. There’s a difference between constantly harping on all the moves the front office and John Elway, in particular, are making and choosing to see the bright side of things despite not really liking something.

Though a number of free agency scenarios would get the fan base excited, this wouldn’t be the first offseason Elway and company made an underwhelming acquisition.

Does anyone remember Donald Stephenson?

Menelik Watson?

Again, not every offseason move is a home run, but some are easier to get on board with than others. I want to take a look today at five moves that would be underwhelming compared to the alternatives.

There are certain players the Broncos simply can’t afford to pay for, and that’s fine. But for what the Broncos are capable of doing, these are the top five moves this offseason I would find underwhelming.
