Broncos Target Deep Threat Pierce, Defensive Boost

0:00On March 5th, the Denver Broncos had a breakout year, reaching the AFC Championship game after smart free agency moves, like signing, Dre Greenlaw, Talanoa Hufanga, and Evan Ingram. Their young quarterback, Bo Nix, shown until a playoff ankle injury, and with an elite offensive line and top defense, they're poised for more. Now, with Russell Wilson's bag contract off the books and a rising salary cap, they have cash to spend, especially since few of their own players are, hitting free agency. Earlier this week, talk heated up about targeting wide receiver Alec Pierce from the Indianapolis Colts. He's led the league in yards per reception the last two seasons and could add deep speed and size to stretch defenses. That firepower would help fix some early season struggles with the deep ball, even as the offense shifts under new play calling from Davis Webb. Meanwhile, on defense, the Broncos might lose key lime in John Franklin Meyers, who chipped in seven and a half sacks on a unit that set a near record, with 68 total.

1:01A reunion with former Bronco Dre Ma Jones makes sense. He racked up 22 sacks in his first four years here and fits perfectly across the line. According to insiders, linebacker Devon Bush is another strong fit after his big resurgence with the Cleveland Browns, posting 125 tackles and leading the league with 164 interception return yards, including three picks and two scores. He'd boost coverage at off-ball linebacker, where injuries and limitations hurt last year. With these moves, Denver could push even further next season, building on a roster that's already turning heads league wide.
