4 moves to give the Denver Broncos an elite offensive line in 2023
2. Sign Jermaine Eluemunor to start at right tackle
The Denver Broncos have a long, ongoing battle with the right tackle position. As hilarious as the team's post-Peyton Manning QB carousel is, the right tackle carousel is just as embarrassing.
The Broncos have tried just about everything from draft picks to free agent signings dating back to when the team used a second-round pick on Ty Sambrailo. They simply haven't been able to figure it out.
Donald Stephenson, Menelik Watson -- those names ring a bell? So many different players have started at right tackle for the Denver Broncos, but quietly, the team has gotten slightly more competent there the last couple of years. Bobby Massie played solid in 2021 and Cam Fleming was decent there in 2022 before having to move to the left tackle spot when Garett Bolles was injured.
Could the Broncos dip into the free agent pool again? I think so. This team has some level of familiarity with Jermaine Eluemunor, a player they brought in to audition for the right tackle job when Bobby Massie and Cam Fleming were ultimately signed.
Amid schedule buzz, Broncos' 8-year search for right tackle continues. Team will work out Bobby Massie, Dennis Kelly, Cam Fleming, Jermaine Eluemunor today.

There have been 17 different starters at right tackle since start of 2014. Donald Stephenson's 17 are most. #9sports https://t.co/JB1TftlIhu
Eluemunor has been playing for the Raiders the last couple of years and had a very strong finish to the 2022 season with them. He might be one of the more underrated players in this year's free agency crop, but you're obviously going to have to pry him away from his situation with the Raiders.
This would be a win-win from that perspective, if the Broncos can pull it off. Address a top need for a reasonable price, and steal from a division rival.
