What are the Denver Broncos going to do about their offensive line?
John Elway made significant investments this offseason, kicking off free agency by signing Donald Stephenson away from the Chiefs, and eventually adding Russell Okung at the left tackle position. It was abundantly clear in the middle of the Broncos’ Super Bowl run last year that left tackle would be an area they would make a huge upgrade at, because Elway and the Broncos were in serious discussions with the Cleveland Browns to trade for All Pro Joe Thomas.
There haven’t been any concrete rumors to this point that the Broncos are going to re-engage the Browns in Thomas trade talks, but there are some significant connections in Denver for Thomas, and there is a clear need on the offensive line for his presence.
