Zach Kerr

Age: 28
2019 salary cap hit: $2.095 million
Years under contract: 2

We’re going to have to start calling Zach Kerr “50 shades of defensive line” because he plays so many different positions for the Broncos.

According to Pro Football Focus, Kerr played nine different defensive line positions from the 0T (nose tackle) all the way out to the 7T (outside the tackle) and pretty much everything in between on the left and right side.

That versatility is a prime reason why the Broncos decided to re-sign Kerr to another two-year contract. This will be his third year in Denver, and the Broncos got a career-high 33 tackles out of him last season.

Next up, they would love to see Kerr beat his career-high of 2.5 sacks in a season.
