Broncos' Evans Pursuit Hits Hurdle

0:00On March 3rd, the Denver Broncos are hunting for more weapons on offense to boost quarterback Bo Nix heading into his third season. A top target in free agency is Tampa Bay wide receiver Mike Evans, a six-time pro-ball pick with two all pro nods 11 seasons over 1000 yards and a Super Bowl ring from his 12-year career. Evans has clear demands for any new team, a quarterback he trusts, a strong offensive coordinator, little Super Bowl hopes, and plenty of passes thrown. His way. The Broncos check most of those boxes, but one big hurdle stands out. Evans's agent pointed out that Denver would need to move on from their top receiver, Cortland Sutton, to make room for enough targets. Sutton led the team with 20 more looks than anyone else last season and stays locked in through 2029 on a four-year deal. Meanwhile, Evans' camp met with Buccaneer's brass at the NFL Combine, pushing hard for a reunion in Tampa Bay. That makes a Broncos move look slim.

1:01With Evans off the board, expect the Broncos to shop around for upgrades at wide receiver and running back to keep building around Nick's.
