Broncos Weigh 8 Free Agents Who Could Start Right Away

Denver has not yet signed an outside free agent, focusing on re-signing its own, but a recent piece outlines eight veteran options who could start for the Broncos if signed: Tyreek Hill, Deebo Samuel, Jonnu Smith, David Njoku, Bobby Okereke, Jauan Jennings, Cameron Jordan, and Joe Mixon. The analysis weighs each player’s age, health, fit with coach Sean Payton and QB Bo Nix, and cost, noting Hill/Samuel carry big upside if healthy, Jennings offers a younger upgrade, Njoku adds inline/blocking value, Okereke brings veteran LB presence, Jordan beefs up interior rush, and Mixon would provide a proven backfield option. It also emphasizes Denver’s unusual wait‑and‑see approach and that the draft could determine how aggressive they become.
