The Denver Broncos have had a solid but not spectacular offseason so far. There haven’t been any moves that have drawn widespread accolades but there also haven’t been any moves that have drawn widespread criticism.
For a team playing with over $30 million in dead cap space in 2025, that’s not a bad place to be.
Unfortunately for the Broncos, their biggest question mark position at the end of the regular season still remains a question mark, with no real solutions at running back and last year’s leading rusher, Javonte Williams, off to the Dallas Cowboys on a 1-year, $3 million free agent contract.
While there might be an answer coming in the NFL draft, putting all their eggs in one basket might not be the smartest move for the Broncos, who should take a long look at signing 4-time Pro Bowler and NFL All-Pro running back Nick Chubb.
The Broncos have a lot of snaps, carries and receptions up for grabs after Javonte Williams’ departure to the Dallas Cowboys in free agency,” ESPN’s Jeff Legwold wrote o March 19. ” … look for the Broncos to add at least one running back in the draft and end of free agency, if not more.”
Chubb’s career has gone off the rails due to injuries and he’s only played 10 games over the last 2 seasons thanks to a catastrophic knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season and a broken foot in Week 15 of the 2024 season.
