When March 17 arrives and the new league year officially begins, teams across the league will be able to add an influx of talent to their roster.
As General Manager George Paton enters his first free-agency period, the Broncos could choose to add to their roster in several key areas. Over the coming days, we'll evaluate some of the top options who are poised to enter the open market.
We continue with the players who create big moments in the passing game: wide receivers and tight ends.
THE WIDEOUTS
CHRIS GODWIN, ALLEN ROBINSON II, KENNY GOLLADAY, WILL FULLER V, JUJU SMITH-SCHUSTER, COREY DAVIS, SAMMY WATKINS
If there's a strength at the top of this free-agent class, it's definitively the wide receiver position. In Pro Football Focus' ranking of the top 200 prospects, three wide receivers are featured among the top five players.
Super Bowl champion Chris Godwin tops the list of available players, as the 2019 Pro Bowler posted 840 yards and seven touchdowns in just 12 regular-season games. He added another 16 catches for 232 yards and a score in the team's run to the title. Allen Robinson II, a seventh-year veteran with back-to-back 1,100-yard seasons, could also hit the market after three years in Chicago. Robinson made his lone Pro Bowl in 2015 with the Jaguars as he caught 80 passes for 1,400 yards and 14 touchdowns. Detroit's Kenny Golladay — who is built in the same mold as Courtland Sutton — played in just five games last season, but he posted back-to-back 1,000-yard campaigns in 2018 and 2019.
Will Fuller V, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Corey Davis are also pending free agents featured in the top 25 of PFF's rankings, and quality veterans like Sammy Watkins — who may have been the top option in free agency last year — could be available for palatable contracts.
As we'll discuss in a moment, though, the Broncos' free-agent priorities could take them elsewhere.
