Sign Bobby Wagner and/or Jordan Hicks

The Broncos must find a way to get one of these guys, but if they could somehow land them both, that would be a massive victory.

Alexander Johnson, Josey Jewell and Kenny Young are all set to become unrestricted free agents and the Broncos were looking at a scenario where they may need to retain two of those three players to have enough depth next season.

But with the Seattle Seahawks releasing Bobby Wagner and the Arizona Cardinals parting ways with Jordan Hicks, the options became much more attractive.

Wagner is one of the best all-around linebackers in football and his connection with former teammate Russell Wilson could easily help him land in Denver.

As for Hicks, he’s even younger than Wagner and could have more good football left in him too. Either way, both players would prove to be huge upgrades over anything the Broncos have had at the inside linebacker position in a really long time.
