Denver Broncos 4 defensive free agents to prioritize

4. Haason Reddick, EDGE

The Denver Broncos have a huge need along the EDGE, and with not many high-quality options available, the Broncos will have to act quickly to sign someone.

They are all but guaranteed to bring someone along the EDGE in, and one name that sticks out is Haason Reddick.

Reddick got off to a slower start to his career, but picked it up the past two seasons, with 23.5 combined sacks the past two seasons.

During this time, Reddick also has 34 total QB hits and 131 combined tackles.  Reddick is a bit undersized at 6’1″ and 235lbs, but he has shown a strong ability to get to the passer, which is all that matters.

Bradley Chubb needs a competent running mate, and Reddick presents that.

He’s also set to turn just 28, so he has some decent years left, especially opposed to other free agent EDGE targets.

I was thinking about putting Chandler Jones here, but given Chubb’s long-term status in Denver unknown, signing someone younger might be the move.
