Free Agent Profile: Defensive Lineman Jarvis Green

Stay connected for news and updates

It's not just Baltimore Raven defensive lineman the Broncos are interested in, the Patriots players are getting interest too. Of course, it wouldn't be a free agent period without McDaniels looking to steal away Belichek's talent.

The Broncos swindled Lonnie Paxton, Jabar Gaffney, and others last year; now it's Jarvis Green's turn. The former 4th round draft pick has seen his production drop a bit in recent years, but he could still add sufficient depth for the Broncos rotation.

Reportedly, the Broncos and Patriots are the last two teams in the running for the 8 year veteran. At 6'3", 285 pounds, he would be a bit undersized for the defensive guard we employed last year, but many signs are pointing towards McDaniels moving farther towards a traditional 3-4.

It's hard to figure out and I know Steve Nichols is already taking notes in an attempt to guess which way the Broncos will go. Either way, Jarvis Green is a solid pass rusher and could take some pressure off of Elvis Dumervil when it comes to QB pressure.

He is a role player, however, but signing both Green and Dwan Edwards would be a huge victory for the Broncos in this free agent market.

SB Nations Scouting Report:

Assets - Good athlete with a nice size-speed package. Has a quick first step and can get into the backfield.

Flaws - Mistake prone. One dimensional when rushing the QB.

Career Potential - Decent role player. (We like role players in Denver.  Right?)
