Broncos' Free Agency Strategy: A Step Back in 2026?

0:00On March 13th, as the first week of free agency ends, the Denver Broncos remain the only NFL team without a single outside free agent signing. They're doubling down on their current roster for continuity and familiarity. That choice makes sense up to a point, but is led to a thinner lineup as key players depart with no replacements coming in. Fans still buzz about the 2025 season, where Denver racked up wins through constant fourth-quarter comebacks and razor-thin margins, including 11 straight victories, most by one score. Those close calls against weaker teams raise eyebrows, and history shows they rarely repeat, just like the Kansas City Chiefs after their own streak, of tight games. With a tougher schedule looming and no upgrades on the horizon, the Broncos appear headed for a step back in 2026.
