Broncos' Inside Linebacker Top Priority in Free Agency

0:00It's March 5th for the NFL. Let's get into it. The Denver Broncos face a clear weakness on defense heading into NFL free agency, especially at Inside Linebacker. Their projected depth chart shows solid strength at outside linebacker, cornerback, and the defensive line, but a big gap inside. With Vance Joseph's scheme in mind for next year, this position tops their priority list before any roster moves. The defensive line looks steady with seven players, including Zach Allen at defensive end, and DJ Jones' attackl. Outside linebacker has good depth too, led by Jonathan Cooper and Jonah Ellis on one side, Nick Benito on the other. They expect to keep depth pieces like Don Dre a Tillman easily. Inside linebacker is thin, with just five projected players like Dre Greenlaw and Cody Reed as starters, and Drew Sanders behind them. Alex Singleton and Justin Strohnad hit free agency next week, forcing the team to target upgrades fast. This could reshape their run defense big time.

1:00Cornerback feels loaded, anchored by Pat Sartane and slot guy Jacwan McMillian, who's tendered. Safety is top heavy with Brandon Jones and Talonoa Huffanga, but PJ Lock could leave thinning depth there. Overall, the unit has promised Benito's linebacker help. Free agency negotiations kick off March 9th, with the new league year starting March 11th. Broncos fans hope George Patton fills that inside spot early to boost the defense for 2026.
