Broncos Eyeing Wagner for Linebacker Boost

On March 30, the Denver Broncos are dialing back on big splash signings this

off season, but they're still plotting roster tweaks, especially at

Limebacker. CBS sports just floated future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner as a

prime target through free agency or ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Wagner turns

36 in June and boasts a monster resume with 2000 tackles 39.5 sacks and 15

picks. He's earned six first team all pro nods, 10 pro bowl trips, and led

to league in tackles three times. Fans and analysts see him boosting Denver's

aging Limebacker crew, especially after cutting ties with a starter, opening

spots next to Alex Singleton. Justin Strunad could slide in, but Wagner's

veteran savvy would mentor the young guns and keep that elite defense superbow

ready on a short deal. That said, Wagner likely wants a locked-in role, and the

Broncos might hand Strunad the reins to prove himself first. Expect him to hold

out a couple months post draft to scout the best fits. Keeping eyes on Wagner

makes sense for depth, but Denver's smart to balance vets with homegrown talent

as they build for the long haul.
