Denver Broncos

Shane Ray . 10. player. 45. . EDGE. Denver

It would seem the Denver Broncos are back in the thick of it in the AFC. They’ve settled the QB position with Case Keenum, reinvigorated their running game and stockpiled the pass rush with the arrival of Bradley Chubb. They don’t really have much to seek out. On the other hand, they may have to reach a decision on Shane Ray. The former 1st round pick is in the last year of his deal. If the trade deadline passes, the odds are he’ll be a free agent in 2019. Given the neverending need for pass rushers, there’s no reason to think the Broncos can’t get a decent return for him despite the injury history. He’s still young with upside in the right system.
