Entering the offseason, the Denver Broncos had one primary goal in mind—finding a ‘joker’ for Head Coach Sean Payton’s offense.
Historically, Payton used the term to discuss a tight end or running back capable of offering mismatch opportunities. Players like Jimmy Graham or Alvin Kamara. Dynamic weapons who proved to be game-changing difference makers for his teams due to their top-tier receiving abilities during his time with the New Orleans Saints.
That’s something that was missing from the Broncos’ offense in 2024. The team had high hopes for Greg Dulcich. Unfortunately, those never came to fruition, and he was waived late in November after multiple trade scenarios fell through.
