Super Bowl LIX is upon us, and the Denver Broncos will be watching in hopes of returning to the big game sooner rather than later. Broncos Country believes its team has a lot of pieces, but still a few crucial additions away.
The Broncos can be helped by adding some key veterans at positions of need, so why not add some with Super Bowl experience? Between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, more than a dozen players are set to be free agents, but six make a ton of sense for the Broncos.
Which players in the Super Bowl should Broncos Country have its eye on? Let’s get into it.
Kenneth Gainwell | RB | Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have the best running back in the NFL in Saquon Barkley, and Gainwell will likely look to go elsewhere. The Broncos should be looking his way.
The Broncos need to rework their running back room and host a competition for key roles between Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin in 2025. Gainwell won’t break the bank and could be a buy-low option with the potential for a big reward. He’s a solid runner and a good pass catcher out of the backfield to give the Broncos a receiving weapon Sean Payton is looking for.
C.J. Uzomah | TE | Philadelphia Eagles
Uzomah is a veteran tight end who shouldn’t cost a lot. He can bring experience, capable blocking, and solid receiving to the Broncos, despite a lack of usage over the past couple of seasons as a receiver.
This is another position that needs to be reworked, and Uzomah is a veteran who can raise the floor of the Broncos tight end room and upgrade over Adam Trautman and Lucas Krull.
