Here are some of the moves the Broncos made in recent days of free agency....
Signed:
-Bryce Callahan-CB: Callahan had a breakout season last year in Chicago under Vic Fangio, so it made sense for him to come to Denver. Callahan helps bolster the Broncos secondary and joins newly signed Kareem Jackson and longtime Bronco Chris Harris in that group. This is a great move and to reunite Callahan with Fangio is a perfect move.
-Jeff Heuerman-TE: The Broncos re-signed Heuerman, who showed some flashes at times last year. He has been injured throughout his career, but it was a solid move to bring him back.
-Zach Kerr-DT: Kerr is another player to re-sign with Denver. Kerr brings depth to the defensive line, and you can never have enough depth and big bodies in that unit, so it was nice to bring back a familiar face.

Broncos Free Agency Moves
The Broncos started free agency with a number of moves to improve their roster. Here are my thoughts on the signings the Broncos have made so far....
1) Kareem Jackson-CB: Jackson comes over from Houston and he will be a starter opposite of Chris Harris Jr. Jackson can play outside corner, slot corner, nickel, and even some safety. The Broncos essentially swapped Jackson for Bradley Roby, who left to go to the Texans.
2) Ju'Wuan James-RT: James comes over from Miami and the Broncos gave him a massive deal at RT. Hopefully, this finally solves the revolving door at RT for the Broncos. James comes off his best year last season.
1) Kareem Jackson-CB: Jackson comes over from Houston and he will be a starter opposite of Chris Harris Jr. Jackson can play outside corner, slot corner, nickel, and even some safety. The Broncos essentially swapped Jackson for Bradley Roby, who left to go to the Texans.

Broncos Free Agency Primer
As we head into March, free agency will get going in then NFL next week, and there will be trades, signings, and more draft chatter as a result. Since this is the calm before the storm, let's do a quick mailbag about what the Broncos might do once free agency starts.....
What are the positions that the Broncos need to address in free agency?
The Broncos need to address Inside Linebacker, Cornerback, Safety, Offensive Line, and Tight End. Those are the spots they should be looking at. The top players in those spots include C.J. Mosley, Kwon Alexander, Jordan Hicks, and Denzel Perryman. The top CBs available are: Ronald Darby, Bryce Callahan, Pierre Desir, Kareem Jackson, and Steven Nelson. The top Safety players available include Landon Collins, Adrian Amos, Earl Thomas, Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix, and Lamarcus Joyner. The Broncos might go the bargain-basement route, but I would start with trying to get one of those free agents into the fold.
What players are the Broncos in danger of losing in free agency?
The Broncos are going to let Matt Paradis hit the market, and I think they will lose him to free agency. I think he will get a better deal out on the open market. I also think that the Broncos will lose Shaq Barrett. I think Barrett wants a chance to be a starter, and he will find a deal that gives him that once the market opens next week. I think Bradley Roby will get paid out of necessity, and I think his contract numbers will be too high and he will walk. I think Shane Ray will leave as well, but Ray never made a big impact in his time in Denver. Jeff Heuerman could go as well, but I would like to see him stay, but he might get a big deal somewhere else.
What happens with Case Keenum and Brandon Marshall?
I think the Broncos will try to trade Keenum, but I think they will eventually release him. They will eat the $7 million in dead cap money, but they will save $10 million. I think Marshall will be let go as well after not coming up with a restructured cap number.
Will the Broncos trade for Antonio Brown?
It is has been reported that the Broncos will try to trade for Brown, but I would be shocked if they made this move. I just don't see it happening. I think the Broncos are better off without him. They don't need Brown's bullshit on this team. Emmanuel Sanders is coming back, and the trio of Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick, and Daesean Hamilton is young and promising.
