One thing is known as the Broncos near closer to the start of free agency and that is their need of speed and athleticism at the linebacker position as well as likely another starter as well.
It has already been recently reported that the Broncos will not exercise veteran linebacker Brandon Marshall’s contract option making him a free agent once that period opens next month. This leaves veteran Todd Davis and second-year linebacker Josey Jewell as the team’s starters at inside linebacker as they head into free agency. Neither linebacker really fits newly hired Head Coach Vic Fangio’s defense which asks for his linebackers to be athletic, move well in space, and able to cover.
