Charlie Kolar: Broncos' Affordable Blocking TE Fix?

0:00On February to 8th, the Denver Broncos are heading into 2026 free agency with a clear need at Tiden, especially for someone who can, block in the run game. Evan Ingram remains under contract as a receiving option, but Adam Trautman's departure leaves a gap. Analysts appointing to Charlie Kohler from the Baltimore Ravens as an affordable fix. Kohler stands six feet, six inches tall, and weighs 265 pounds at age 27, with four NFL seasons under his belt. Last year, he played all 17 games, starting 7, and posted 10 receptions for 142 yards and two touchdowns on 15. Targets. Poor blocking from Tiden's plagued the Broncos all season, hurting their run and screenplays. Kohler brings a size and physicality to excel there, plus a red zone edge over smaller defenders. That said, his receiving skills are modest, with limited speed to create mismatches. He would not fully solve Denver's issues, so they might still draft or chase a flashier tight end alongside Ingram.
