Like every other team in the NFL, the Broncos will have their share of free agents to deal with and will have to decide on their futures with the team.  Some of the pending 2023 free agents are significant contributors to the team, while others are currently on their way out.  Some of the decisions are easy to see, but others may be tough decisions for Paton and his staff to make.

The Broncos’ free agent class that they decide to retain obviously will not be all of the free agents that the team has, but they will indeed bring back some of them.

However, others will find themselves off the team for 2023, so which 2023 free agents for the Denver Broncos should the team re-sign, and which should they let go?

To re-sign or let go: Denver Broncos 2023 free agents

Offensive line: Billy Turner, Calvin Anderson, Tom Compton, Dalton Risner, Cam Fleming

Denver has a huge chunk of their offensive line room hitting free agency, and you could argue that none of them could return.  Turner has returned to the lineup and has played reasonably well.  He can play tackle and guard and is a useful utility piece for Denver.

Calvin Anderson is the team’s backup left tackle and could have a future with the team.  He also appears to be well-liked by all of his teammates.  Tom Compton has been injured and looks to be coming off of injured reserve soon.  He can play both tackle and guard.

Dalton Risner was Denver’s second-round pick back in 2019 and enjoyed a strong rookie season before falling off the past three seasons.  Cam Fleming competed for the right tackle spot both last season and this season.  He took over left tackle for a bit this year and could be a solid backup piece.

Re-sign: Billy Turner, Calvin Anderson, Cam Fleming

Let-go: Dalton Risner, Tom Compton
