Which players could the Denver Broncos lose quickly when free agency opens up on Monday morning? We take a look at a handful of names.

The Denver Broncos have Russell Wilson at the quarterback position, but they will enter 2022 NFL Free Agency with plenty of areas to address.

With Shelby Harris and Noah Fant part of the trade package going to the Seattle Seahawks, general manager George Paton could certainly prioritize the defensive end and tight end positions in free agency.

Without a first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the EDGE position will also need to be arguably the team’s top priority.

At this point in time, it feels like we’ve got a decent beat on which in-house free agents are likely to stick around, and which ones could leave. Let’s take a look at five in-house free agents that could fly off the market rather quickly when free agency negotiations open up on Monday at 10 AM MT.

Bryce Callahan is a good player…when healthy.

Unfortunately, good health has been hard to come by for Bryce Callahan over the last four years.

Even dating back to the end of his time with the Chicago Bears, Callahan has been struggling with a variety of injuries, primarily a foot injury that caused him a ton of grief from 2018-2019.

At this point in time, Callahan is presumably healthy and could be an awesome slot corner signing for just about any team in need.

Luckily for him, there is no shortage of need around the league for a player of his caliber at his position. There are also plenty of teams with coaching connections to Callahan that need corners, including the Los Angeles Chargers (Brandon Staley, Renaldo Hill) and Minnesota Vikings (Ed Donatell).
