Hello everybody. The goal of this post is to share my mock offseason for our Denver Broncos. We had a great 2011 season, but we have a lot of needs and this is how I would address them:
Free Agency:
Re-Sign:
TE Daniel Fells
OT Chris Clark
DT Ryan McBean
Signings:
Jeff Garcia (QB)
He is 41 but he has stayed in great shape by playing in the IFL. He was once a great scrambling QB and would make a great mentor for Tim Tebow and Adam Weber.
Mike Tolbert (RB)
He would make a great pickup and we would be taking him from a division rival.
2011 stats: 121 carries for 490 yards, 8 tds
Steve Smith (WR)
He is a fairly young veteran and could be a 100 plus catch this season
2011 stats: 11 catches for 124 yards, 1 td
John Carlson (TE)
A fairley young TE with good hands and decent blocking skills
2011 stats: Injured Reserve
Geoff Hangartner (OG)
Geoff can play RG while Chris Kuper is injured and then move to LG when he returns
2011 stats: 16 games, 16 starts
Matt Giordano (S)
A younger veteran safety that has good hands and good instincts and on top of that he would be staying in the division
2011 stats: 70 tackles, 1 sack, 1 forced fumble, 5 interceptions
Terrell Thomas (CB)
A young CB that would make a great #2
2011 stats: Injured Reserve
Dan Conner (MLB)
Still only 26, he could serve the team for years to come
2011 stats: 75 tackles, 1 forced fumble
Larry Grant (MLB)
He could compete for the starting spot and add depth to our MLB position
2011 stats: 39 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble
Jason Jones (DT)
Didn't play too well with his transition to DE last year, but would be a great pass rushing DT
2011 stats (as a DE): 27 tackles, 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble
