Denver Broncos Rumors: Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno Top Free Agents As Jared Allen, Maurice Jones-Drew, Sidney Rice, Asante Samuel Targets?

Mar 07, 2014 01:25 PM EST

The Denver Broncos made it all the way to the Super Bowl last season, but they have as many offseason questions as anyone with Eric Decker, Knowshon Moreno and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie being free agents and those players along with Jared Allen, Cortland Finnegan, Asante Samuel and Sidney Rice could be options for the team.

Last season the team struggled defending against the pass and that makes names like Cortland Finnegan and Charles Tillman options, while Asante Samuel could also be a target. Grantland.com broke down some of the possible options for the Broncos and they mentioned Devin Hester, Sidney Rice and Maurice Jones-Drew as potential signings, as they likely will not cost too much and could come in as solid contributors on offense for Peyton Manning and the Broncos.

Moreno is likely on his way out of town and so is Decker, as they may ask for more money than the Broncos are willing to spend and names like Drew and Rice could be solid options to replace them even if they can't match the production. Decker has been very good while putting up back to back 1,000 yard seasons and he could turn that into a number one WR deal somewhere, but in Denver that belongs to Demaryius Thomas and the Broncos feel that they can get what they need on the market like they did with Wes Welker last season.

The team is poised to spend, as they have $27,492,168 in cap solace and that could mean a crop of players coming in, including someone like Allen. The Vikings star has had at least 11 sacks in each of the past few seasons and after Von Miller was injured, the pass rush should be a point of focus.
