The 2022 NFL Draft is in the books. Free agency is mostly over. Trades have been made. What moves could put the Denver Broncos’ 2022 offseason over the top?

By just about any metric, the Denver Broncos have had arguably the best offseason in franchise history.

Perhaps the most comparable offseason to what the Denver Broncos have accomplished in 2022 was exactly 10 years ago when John Elway reeled in Peyton Manning, the biggest NFL free agency fish ever, just one year after drafting the NFL’s Defensive Rookie of the Year and one of the brightest young star pass rushers in Von Miller.

Russell Wilson joins the Denver Broncos along with a host of other impact players, ready to help get this team back to Super Bowl contender status.

Even as great as the offseason has been already, there’s nothing wrong with scoping the remaining available players and trying to find potential fits. There are some moves that the Denver Broncos could make to really push this offseason over the top into downright euphoric.

Let’s explore a handful of them.

Denver Broncos move no. 1: Ndamukong Suh, DL

The five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman and 2020 Super Bowl champion is still a free agent. Have the Buccaneers moved on? Is it time for Ndamukong Suh to find yet another team to continue his NFL career with?

Why not in Denver?

Ejiro Evero was the safeties coach for the Los Angeles Rams back in 2018 when Suh helped get the Rams all the way to the Super Bowl.

Yes, Suh is 35 years old, but who cares? The Denver Broncos could sign Suh to a one-year deal and watch him get after the quarterback.

Over the last two seasons, Suh has 12 sacks and 48 QB hurries. His pass rush productivity has not waned.

I’ll reiterate this because it’s been some time since I’ve said it — the Denver Broncos are a contending team and this is a contending team type of move.

Maybe the craziest thing about Suh? He has only missed two games his entire NFL career, and hasn’t missed a single game or start since 2011.
