Denver Broncos – Landon Collins

The Broncos have some high-end talent, but there are needs all over the roster. There’s an obvious need to upgrade the offense, but that’s going to happen via the draft. Free agency gives John Elway a chance to make this defense dominant once again.

Vonn Miller and Bradley Chubb give Denver two excellent pass rushers to build around. Unfortunately, the secondary didn’t hold up their end of the bargain in 2018. In particular, the Broncos struggled to get any type of playmaking out of the safety position.

Adding Collins to the mix could immediately correct that problem. He’s been a consistent stand out for the Giants since they selected him in the second round of the 2015 draft. It’s very possible New York will franchise him this offseason, but he’s definitely going to want a long-term contract somewhere.

Denver is a perfect fit for a safety who wants to take chances to make plays in the final third. Collins could gobble up a lot of errant passes from quarterbacks who are being harassed by the Broncos pass rush. Safety is a big need for Denver this offseason and Collins is the best fit for this team’s timeline for contention.
