ESPN names the key player the Denver Broncos are expected to lose to free agency this offseason
The Denver Broncos are likely going to be active in free agency this offseason.
The Denver Broncos are poised to make some big moves in free agency.
Most analysts expect the Broncos to aggressively pursue an offensive playmaker or two this offseason. Specifically, the feeling is that Denver will land a running back and a tight end to fill key roles in Sean Payton’s offense.
The Broncos, however, will likely suffer some attrition, too.
ESPN, in fact, named the pending free agent that Denver is most likely to lose this offseason.
ESPN says John Franklin-Myers is the Broncos free agent most likely on the move
ESPN’s Jeff Legwold suggested this week that defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers is the Broncos free agent that will most likely be on the move this offseason.
Legwold noted that Denver wants Franklin-Myers back, but he could find a “bigger payday” elsewhere.
“Defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers. The Broncos want him back, given that he was one of the league’s most effective inside pass rushers for a defense that has set the franchise record in sacks in back-to-back seasons,” wrote Legwold. “But the impending free agent, who has 14.5 sacks over the past two seasons, has seen the Broncos re-sign front-seven players Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto, Jonathon Cooper, D.J. Jones and Malcolm Roach during the past two years without also getting a new deal. He will have the opportunity to find that bigger payday elsewhere.”
Franklin-Myers set a career high with 7.5 sacks last season, so it certainly wouldn’t be a surprise if he looks to maximize his value this offseason ahead of turning 30 in September.
