3. Kareem Jackson, S

Finally, the Broncos have one of the more underrated safeties in the game with veteran Kareem Jackson. The 35-year-old is out of contract after this season and is closing in on the end of his career. However, Jackson is still a serviceable player at the safety spot, in the right scheme.

He hasn't been an all-world type player this year, but he also hasn't played poorly. He would benefit greatly from going to a team that has a more stable pass rush, without a doubt. Already in four games, he has a pair of interceptions.

Jackson would be the perfect "final piece" to a championship-contending defense that needs one more solidified veteran in their secondary. He has allowed just one touchdown thus far in the 2023 season and is still a fairly sure tackler.

Sending Jackson away for anything, at all, would make sense. He'll be gone after this year, so if the Broncos could net something along the lines of a sixth-round pick, that would be a fine value.
