5. Jeremiah Attaochu, Linebacker

This one is tough because Jeremiah Attaochu has actually been quite good for the Broncos as a pass-rush specialist. In two seasons with the team, he has 8.5 sacks. But because of the emergence of Malik Reed as a backup to Von Miller and Bradley Chubb, the team might not necessarily need Attaochu.

There could be a surprise decision with Miller and his contract this offseason, though many Broncos fans may not like to hear it. That said, trading Von or moving on from him have to be considered after he missed the entire season with an injury.

The Broncos need to make sure he is back to full health and still worth the big money he is set to make. And even if he is, having players that can successfully rush the passer is not really something you can have too many of.

The Broncos could definitely move on from  Attaochu this offseason. If it were me, I’d bring him back for sure. He will be just 28 years old next season and could easily have another five-sack season or two in him.
