Broncos Free Agent List

The Broncos will be looking for a few choice free agents to help the team this offseason. First, they’ll need to address their own team as the 2008 buying season approaches.

Here’s a handy list of the Denver Broncos free agents coming up, with my thoughts on each of these guys. I plan on updating this list regularly.

Unrestricted Free Agents

DE Ebenezer Ekuban – Ekuban’s age and injury history make him a lesser priority than he would have been this time last year, but I think he’ll come back home after testing the market and sign with Denver.

K Jason Elam – Top resigning priority.

RB Cecil Sapp – I’m on the bubble with Sapp. I’m hoping for an upgrade at fullback, but the coaches like him enough where he might return before free agency begins.

S Nick Ferguson – Our complete lack of depth at safety necessitates Ferguson returning for another year or two, particularly if Lynch hangs ’em up.

TE Stephen Alexander – Alexander will likely retire.

TE Nate Jackson – On the bubble.

Restricted Free Agents

CB Karl Paymah – Came on strong and the coaches really like him. He’s not going anywhere.

CB Domonique Foxworth – Rumors abound that Foxworth is on the block. I’d hate to see another young talented draftee go, and I believe Foxworth could thrive as a #2 cornerback. He also adds valuable safety depth. If he’s traded, the compensation better be damn high.

S Hamza Abdullah – Before Abdullah’s infamous whiff against Houston, most Broncos fans were really excited about this prospect. With his contract year coming up, Abdullah will have a chance to show his worth, and I think he’ll shine plenty.

C Chris Myers – Right now, Myers is slated as the future of the Broncos offensive line. While I have mixed feelings about that, the Broncos have invested too much time in him to let him go.
