The Denver Broncos are going to look much different next season. Denver is likely to let go of cornerback Aqib Talib, left tackle Ryan Clady, quarterback Peyton Manning and outside linebacker DeMarcus Ware. It will be a huge change for a team that has been vying for the Super Bowl each season since Manning rolled into town back in 2012.

Of course, the Broncos are going to try to keep some of their cornerstone players, including outside linebacker Von Miller. Miller is hitting the market, but it would be crazy to think that the Broncos don’t use the franchise tag on him. In his five year, Miller has hit double-digit sacks in four of those seasons, including 10 through the first 15 games this season.

However, things happen. Maybe general manager John Elway feels that Miller is unreliable because of his past and let’s him hit the market. Perhaps Elway wants to keepo inside linebacker Danny Trevathan and defensive lineman Malik Jackson, who might be a bit too expensive for Denver. Don’t forget, Elway is going to have to pay Brock Osweiler more than he is worth to keep the youngster around and under center.

Market: San Diego, New York Jets, Indianapolis, Arizona
