Broncos' Low-Key Free Agency: Confidence, Not Caution

0:00On March 22nd, the Denver Broncos kept a low profile during the first week of free agency, focusing on resigning most of their own players. They brought back 17 out of 22 free agents, showing strong faith in last season squad that reached the final four and nearly made the Super Bowl. Later in the second week, things heated up with a major trade for wide receiver Jalen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins, pairing him with quarterback Boe. Nix, they also added safety Tyson Anderson as their one outside free agent signing. Even so, pro football focus ranked the Broncos 12 in their post-free agency power rankings. Analyst Mason Cameron noted their quiet start and lack of big early splashes, despite Waddle boosting their passing game. Fans and team insiders see this as confidence not caution. The Broncos lost just a couple key guys like John Franklin Myers and PJ. Locke, holding on to a core that swept the chiefs and beat the bills and overtime playoffs last year.

1:00National outlets might be overlooking Denver's 14 win run and underdog edge, but that fire has fueled Sean Payton before and could propel them deep again in the upcoming season.
