Broncos' secondary needs serious help before 2021 NFL season

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- While Drew Lock's future at quarterback and Von Miller's future at linebacker are already discussion in full swirl early in this Denver Broncos' offseason, a very real down-to-down football problem is staring the team in the face as well.

The Broncos are wafer-thin at cornerback and face the possibility of remaking an entire secondary if some big checks don't get written.

"Those are things [general manager] George [Paton] will have to look at," said Broncos president of football operations John Elway.

Cornerback A.J. Bouye, who missed the final four games of this season and will miss the first two games of 2021 due to a violation of the league's policy on performance-enhancing drugs, faces an uncertain future and could potentially be released.
