Key Highlights

  • The Broncos need a guy who can carry more of the load, and an experienced veteran with youth still on his side should be considered. That player could be J. K.
  • Dobbins if the Broncos choose to re-sign him this offseason, but his injury history will be taken under serious consideration in any potential deal.
  • A more attractive option could be to bring in one of the top names on next year's free-agent market, Travis Etienne. Etienne is coming off perhaps his best year in the league in his first year in Liam Coen's offense, and the Jaguars will likely be keen on retaining him as he is the college teammate of quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
