Paradis is the best center set to hit the free agent market despite the fact that he missed the last seven games of the 2018 season with a broken leg that landed him on injured reserve. A sixth-round pick of the Denver Broncos in 2014, Paradis took over as the team’s center in 2015 and has been their best player on the offensive line ever since.

Throughout Paradis’ 57 starts for Denver, the center has only surrendered six sacks, with none coming in 2017. The interior lineman has only eight penalties called on him through that period as well.

The Broncos appear prepared to make a push to retain Paradis before he hits the open market. The New York Jets would be among the competition to make a run for his services should he test free agency.
