Broncos Re-sign Key Players, Seek Offensive Playmaker

0:00On March 15th, the Denver Broncos kicked off the 2026 off-season addressing key gaps, especially on offense where they needed more, at running back, tight end and wide receiver. In the first week of free agency, they resigned every player who touched the ball last season, locking in a familiar group across those positions. They brought back running back R.J. Harvey for year two, JK Dobbins on a two-year deal, and Jalil McLaughlin for one more season. At tight end, Evan Ingram stays put, Adam Trotman got an extension, and depth pieces like Nate Atkins, Lucas Crowell, and Caleb Moner were main under contract. Wide receivers are fully intact too, with Cortland Sutton, Pat Bryant, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims, Michael Bandy, and Lil Jordan Humphrey All. Returning, even with that continuity and resigning primary linebackers, Alex Singleton and Justin Schornat on defense, analysts point out the offense still lacks a true playmaker to elevate the unit. Teams like the Broncos see tight end as a smart draft spot,

Wide receiver options abound in free agency and the draft, and even a big name my Tyree Kill could fit later, given their solid room now. That extra sparker running back, tight end, or wide receiver, might be the final piece to turn this contender into a super bowl threat.
