Who are some players the Denver Broncos could sign or trade for from each NFL Team? Here’s one player from each team that could interest them.
Each team in the NFL has players the Denver Broncos should be interested in. It would not surprise me if one or two, or even three of these guys end up in Denver.
I took a look at the rosters of each of the other 31 teams in the NFL, as well as their pending free agents, and chose one player from each team I think the Broncos should go after. Some of these guys are flashy names while some may not ring a bell.
The Broncos may not be that far from the NFL playoffs. Some of these players could make the team instant contenders. Here’s the list.
NFC West players the Denver Broncos should target in 2022
Arizona Cardinals – Chandler Jones, OLB
Chandler Jones has been one of the better pass rushers in all of football since he entered the league in 2011. Since then, he’s accumulated 107.5 career sacks, as well as 473 tackles. He’s an absolute monster.
Jones is almost 32-years old but has shown consistency in his play, as he’s had 10+ sacks in seven of his seasons. The Broncos traded Von Miller during last season, and he won a Super Bowl with the Los Angeles Rams so any hope of Miller returning to the Broncos seems gone at this point. The Broncos need some pass rush help and Jones could be that answer.
In a division where it’s crucial to get to the quarterback, Jones would be outstanding in Denver alongside Bradley Chubb, Malik Reed, and Stephen Weatherly.
San Francisco 49ers — Jeff Wilson, RB
Running back Jeff Wilson is likely a name you won’t link to the Denver Broncos but I think that with the potential loss of Melvin Gordon in free agency, Wilson could be big in the run game alongside Javonte Williams, who could see a lot more carries in 2022.
Wilson would be behind Williams but maybe could be some sort of short-yardage type of back for the Broncos. It’s not flashy, but running depth is important.
Seattle Seahawks — Russell Wilson, QB
Signs seem to be pointing heavily to Aaron Rodgers being a Bronco but he’s not the only top-tier quarterback the team should be looking at.
Russell Wilson has been linked to the Denver Broncos for a while as the Seattle Seahawks may want to move on from him at some point. If the Broncos do not acquire Rodgers, Wilson should be the top target for them. The addition of Wilson could be beneficial to the team longer-term than Rodgers but the big question is, would both of them be able to get the team to the Super Bowl?
It’s certainly worth the chance and capital they’d have to give up. It’s worth a chance. It’s a lot better than what the team currently has.
Los Angeles Rams — Austin Corbett, G
Will the Los Angeles Rams allow guard Austin Corbett to walk in free agency? Probably not, but here’s the thing: Money talks. If the Broncos want to move on from Graham Glasgow, Corbett could be a little bit of a cheaper option.
Corbett played most of the team’s snaps over the last three years. He gave up just three sacks in 2021 and committed five penalties. The Broncos should be looking to upgrade every position and adding this Super Bowl champion could be huge for the team’s quarterback as well as its running backs.
