Broncos Eyeing Wagner for Linebacker Boost

0:00On 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.
