One Denver Broncos free agent target from each AFC team
Denver Broncos: Free agents from the AFC North
Baltimore Ravens – Bradley Bozeman, C
Bozeman has experience playing at both guard and center and was good at both. He’s a nasty player who would give the Broncos a much-needed boost on the interior.
I am one of those who think the Denver Broncos’ offensive line needs a bit of help, especially on the interior, so bringing someone like Bozeman in solves a big issue at center.
Pittsburgh Steelers – Trai Turner, OG
Seeing a theme here? Turner’s best days might behind him, but he’s a five-time Pro Bowler and won’t turn 30 until next season. Turner played all 17 games this season, perhaps putting a rest to his injury concerns.
Turner would be a cheaper but effective option for Denver and could slide in at left guard. I think Quinn Meinerz has the right guard spot locked up for years to come, but I do think there is some uncertainty with the left guard position.
Cleveland Browns – Jadeveon Clowney, EDGE
Jadeveon Clowney seemingly has never lived up to his draft status, but he is still an effective player all these years later.
He can rush the passer adequately and is a menace in the run game.
Denver needs to get better along their front seven, and Clowney could help that. I would think that the Browns could ideally like to keep him, but if he hits the open market, Denver could probably outbid the Browns for his services if they truly wanted him.
The team simply needs to generate more with their pass rush, and Clowney could be that guy.
Cincinnati Bengals – Riley Reiff, OT
Denver could turn to a solid, veteran tackle to fill their right tackle position if they wanted.
Reiff is a left tackle first but has played solidly at right tackle during his long career, which began in 2012 with the Detroit Lions.
Reiff played for the Bengals this season, and with Cincinnati set to undergo a massive offensive line shift, they may decide to not bring Reiff back. He is by no means elite, but he’s very solid.
