Free Agency is only a mere four hours away from officially kicking off, but some teams aren't wasting time to agreeing to deals with some of the top Free Agents on the market.
Denver Broncos news/rumors:
Other suitors for Jared Allen?:
Bill Huber from Packer Report reported this morning that the Green Bay Packers are among a list of suitors for Jared Allen's services. He also lists the Buccaneers, Patriots and Giants are among the other teams on Allen’s list. He does admit that the Broncos could potentially be Allen's fifth suitor
Perhaps Allen’s wish list — and Green Bay’s inclusion on it — is a way to drive up his price for a potential fifth suitor, such as the Broncos, who have been linked to Allen. The Packers are $28.9 million under the cap, with the Broncos $27.1 million, Buccaneers $23.7 million, the Giants $22.2 million and Patriots $14.8 million.
This is a far cry from yesterday's report that a source "close to the situation" would be shocked if Allen did not sign with the Broncos.
The Broncos a player for Revis?:
#Patriots and #Broncos are players for Darrelle Revis per our @mikefreemanNFL. http://t.co/Eo3PAD1wVk
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) March 11, 2014
According to the Bleacher Reports Mike Freeman the two teams that he keeps hearing that are connected to Revis are the Denver Broncos and New England Patriots.
There's a ton of rumors out there about Revis, so add this one to your list.
Super Bowl window is closing in both New England and Denver. Adding Revis to either roster definitely increases the odds.
— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) March 11, 2014
This would make sense for both teams, especially the Denver Broncos who just released their long time shut down corner Champ Bailey. It would not surprise me to see John Elway at least target Revis either via trade or if he's released.
buzz around #Broncos right now: won't overpay for Jared Allen, but may be prepared to get into a bidding war for Darrelle Revis if released
— Cecil Lammey (@cecillammey) March 11, 2014
Looks like John Elway wants to book a trip to Revis Island.
Could the Broncos make a run at Daryl Smith?:
Ravens aren't close to a deal with middle linebacker Daryl Smith, according to sources
— Aaron Wilson (@RavensInsider) March 11, 2014
It appears that Smith will not be re-signing with the Baltimore Ravens anytime soon, and may be the top inside linebacker on the market. Now there hasn't been any official reports connecting Smith to the Broncos, but there has been a lot of speculation. The Broncos did have interest in former Cleveland Browns inside linebacker D'Qwell Jackson, so I wouldn't be shocked if the Broncos had at least some interest in Smith.
#Broncos may take a look. RT @RavensInsider: Ravens aren't close to a deal with middle linebacker Daryl Smith, according to sources.

Woodyard to the Patriots?:

Zane Beadles to the Jaguars?:
A team to watch for G Zane Beadles: #Jaguars. Fits zone blocking scheme well. Way more athletic than Nwaneri.
— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) March 11, 2014
As Caplan says in the tweet, Beadles would fit their scheme quite well and would help upgrade the offensive line. The Broncos plan to let Beadles test the market, and I would be surprised if he returned to the Broncos in 2014.
Caldwell re-signing with the Broncos?
Per @MikeKlis, the #Broncos are deep in negotiations to re-sign Bubba Caldwell.
— 102.3 ESPN (@1023ESPN) March 11, 2014
Per Mike Klis, the Denver Broncos are working on re-signing Andre Caldwell. Caldwell very well could be the Broncos number two receiver next season.
Nothing imminent with DRC:
Although there have been talks back & forth, nothing firm yet on D.R.C. returning to #Broncos
— Brandon Krisztal (@BKDenverSports) March 11, 2014
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. The Broncos have been loosely connected to all the top corners who are currently available on the Free Agent market.
ESPN's Josina Anderson spoke to DRC today, and here's what he had to say.
CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to me on his future in Denver & Revis speculation: "I just sit back and wait. I'm just chilling." "I want to be in Denver. If they want to keep me we're going to make it happen--whatever we (have) to do."
Is money a hang-up for you?
"Bottom line, as long as you produce the money is going to come. I don't worry about the money."
Jared Allen, T.J Ward and DRC the names to watch today. Sproles too?:
All quiet at Dove Valley for now. "Interest" in everyone. DRC, Allen, Ward are ones to watch for. Heads up for Sproles as well.
