5 players trending in the wrong direction for Denver Broncos

The Denver Broncos have one of the most interesting offseasons in team history ahead of them. 

Now that Super Bowl LVI is in the rear-view mirror, we have officially hit the offseason for all 32 NFL teams. The Denver Broncos have as many questions to answer as any team in the league, but they have plenty of resources to make something happen.

In addition to all of the free agents the team has coming up, the Broncos have some players who have underperformed for the team for one reason or another and their spot on the roster in 2022 could be in question or, if they are to stick around, it could be in a far less significant role than the team originally saw for them.

The Broncos hit on their 2021 draft class and that should pay dividends for years to come. The same can not currently be said for the following players, who are going to have to do something to prove they should still be a key piece of the roster in 2022 and beyond.

Graham Glashow, Guard

Graham Glasgow played in just seven games for the Broncos in 2021 before an ankle injury landed him on injured reserve.

With him out of the lineup, the team had to turn to rookie Quinn Meinerz and he looks like a key piece of the team’s future.

Glasgow took a pay cut following the end of the Broncos’ season, a clear sign that he knows his worth to the team may be diminishing so he’s doing what he needs to do to stick around.

Aside from Meinerz, the Broncos also have a young stud in Netane Muti to help back up starter Dalton Risner, who also had a down year. The Broncos will likely have Risner, Meinerz and Muti as part of the future plans but there are question marks surrounding Glasgow, who may be kept around just due to his experience going forward.
