S Will Parks

Age at free agency: 25

The first three players on this list will all be 28 or older when they hit free agency. Will Parks is the start of a group of Broncos players 25 and younger who are in line for new contracts.

Parks has been a valuable reserve safety for the team through his first three seasons in the league, and has done some great work on special teams as well.

He’s developed into a starting caliber player and I think we’ll see him play his most extensive snaps in 2019.

Parks is a guy who can play deep free, man, zone, play in the box, and do pretty much anything the team asks of him.

With Darian Stewart moved on, Parks will get a chance to show he can be a starting safety on a full-time basis in the NFL.

If he plays well again this season, he could be one of the most sought after safeties on the open market in 2020. The Broncos would be wise to re-sign him sooner rather than later as he is one of the top 10 cornerstone pieces for this franchise 25 and under.
