With free agency a month and a half away, who are some players that the Denver Broncos should stay away from at all costs?

Free agency is always a fun time.  We’ve seen major shakeups during this period, and the Denver Broncos are poised to be active players in free agency with their cap space situation.

While there are many desirable free agents on the market for 2022, there are many who the team should stay away from at all costs.

Some free agents the Denver Broncos must pass on in 2022

Whether it be an injury, age, a combination of both, or otherwise, just because they are a free agent does not mean the Denver Broncos need to sign them.

I wrote a piece on my personal free agent wish list for 2022.  This included players like Ryan Jensen and Mark Glowinski.

I believe the Broncos should target free agents along the offensive line, and at EDGE and CB.

General Manager George Paton might be inclined to target other positions, and hopefully, he makes smart signings and does not overpay for someone.

With that said, let’s take a look at free agents the Denver Broncos should stay away from in 2022.
