Three more free agents for Denver Broncos to target

2. JC Tretter, C

If Denver wants to get better along the offensive line, which they should, signing recently released JC Tretter makes a ton of sense.

The former Packer and Brown has eight seasons under his belt.  He’s never been named to a Pro Bowl, but he’s been one of the best centers in the league for a long time.

Tretter has missed just one game the past five seasons and only just turned 31.

With his experience, skill, and durability, Tretter would instantly elevate the Broncos in the trenches.

According to PFF, he earned a 78.7 grade in 2021, only committing five penalties and allowing just one sack.  In fact, in every year since 2018, he’s earned a grade over 70.0.

The Denver Broncos have a lot of average players on the interior, featuring Dalton Risner, Lloyd Cushenberry, and Graham Glasgow.  The team needs to sign someone who is simply a better player than what the team currently has, and Tretter is that guy.
