18 Broncos players scheduled to become free agents in March

The Denver Broncos wrapped up their 2023 season on Sunday afternoon and attention now turns toward the 2024 NFL offseason.

The Broncos will be in a bit of a salary cap mess this offseason (a mess that will become even more complicated if quarterback Russell Wilson is released), but they can find ways to make things work.

Once they sort things out, Denver will have to make decisions on in-house free agents. The Broncos have 18 players scheduled to become free agents in March, 14 of which will be unrestricted free agents. If Denver does not give contract extensions to those UFAs before the new league year begins, those players will be free to sign with any team.

The Broncos also have three restricted free agents that Denver will have the option to “tender,” giving them a right of first refusal to match any offer made to those RFAs (and compensation if an RFA leaves).

The Broncos also have one exclusive rights free agent, a player who has no option but to re-sign with Denver if given an offer from the club.

Here’s a quick look at the Broncos’ full list of players scheduled to become free agents this spring, including UFAs, RFAs and an ERFA.
