2022 Free Agent Wishlist

2. Ryan Jensen, C, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Lloyd Cushenberry, who has taken a small leap in his second year, is still among one of the worst starting centers in the NFL.

Cush’s rookie season was abysmal, as he could only muster a 40.5 PFF grade and allowed four sacks.

In 2021, the Denver Broncos have seen a bit of an upgrade, as Cush has compiled a 62.3 PFF grade, but has committed six penalties and has allowed five sacks.

While his PFF grade is seemingly higher, he also appears to be playing sloppier football.

If the Denver Broncos want to put the best offensive product out there, it starts with their offensive line, and both Dalton Risner and Lloyd Cushenberry are the two weakest links.

Ryan Jensen, who is from Colorado, is enjoying a much better year than Cushenberry.

Jensen has a 71.1 PFF grade, which is considered starter category. Jensen is coming off a Super Bowl victory with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and spent the first part of his career with the Baltimore Ravens.

Jensen would be an excellent addition to the offense. He has years of experience, has appeared in the playoffs, and has not missed a game since 2016.

Ryan Jensen is a clear upgrade over Lloyd Cushenberry and would look great in orange and blue.
