The NFL’s free agency negotiating period is set to open on Monday (March 13) with free agency officially set to begin on Wednesday (March 15).
The Denver Broncos have about $11.4 million in available salary cap space before making any cap-related moves like roster cuts or trades.
In addition to considering free agents from other teams, the Broncos also have 17 in-house free agents they will need to consider re-signing this spring. These players are unrestricted free agents, so they will be allowed to begin negotiating with other teams on Monday.
Which players will re-sign with Denver, and which players will walk during free agency this month? Here are our predictions.
1
OT Calvin Anderson
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/03/Calvin-Anderson.jpg)
Anderson has been a serviceable fill-in starter at times for the Broncos in recent seasons, and he might now want an opportunity to start — and earn a starter’s salary. Unless he returns as a backup (at a backup salary), Calvin might not be back in 2023.
Prediction: GO
2
OT Billy Turner
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/11/Billy-Turner-injury.jpg)
Turner was serviceable when healthy last season, but he was rarely healthy. The Broncos will likely look to bring in a new right tackle this spring.
Prediction: GO
3
OT Cam Fleming
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/08/Cam-Fleming-1.jpg)
Fleming is a quality backup who ended up starting 19 games over the last two seasons. He would be a good player to bring back as a depth piece.
Prediction: STAY
4
OL Dalton Risner
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2021/04/Dalton-Risner-salary.jpg)
Risner wants to be paid like a top guard on the market, and the Broncos seem unlikely to make him one.
Prediction: GO
5
OL Tom Compton
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/03/Tom-Compton-Broncos.jpg)
After missing all but one game last season, Compton seems unlikely to return in 2023.
Prediction: GO
6
TE Eric Tomlinson
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/12/Eirc-Tomlinson.jpg)
Tomlinson was a serviceable blocking tight end last year and he also made a few plays in the passing game. He’s a good veteran to have on the roster.
Prediction: STAY
7
TE Eric Saubert
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/05/Eric-Saubert.jpg)
Similar to Tomlinson, Saubert is a quality depth tight end, but it remains to be seen what Sean Payton has planned for the position this year.
Prediction: GO
8
TE/FB Andrew Beck
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/02/Andrew-Beck-Salute-to-Service.jpg)
Beck is a versatile player who could give Payton an option at fullback in situations when the offense uses one.
Prediction: STAY
9
RB Latavius Murray
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2023/03/Latavius-Murray.jpg)
There’s no guarantee that Javonte Williams will be ready early in the season and the Broncos will need to have a fallback plan. Murray might be part of that plan.
Prediction: STAY
10
RB Mike Boone
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/10/NFL-usage-stats-Week-4.jpg)
Boone showed flashes of strong play over the last two seasons, but he missed more games than he was available for. It’s hard to imagine the Broncos re-signing him after he has struggled so much with injuries.
Prediction: GO
11
RB Marlon Mack
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/12/Marlon-Mack.jpg)
Mack made a few nice plays last season and the Broncos do need more depth at running back, but it’s hard to say where he might land on Payton’s depth chart.
Prediction: GO
12
DL Dre’Mont Jones
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2023/03/DreMont-Jones-franchise-tag-deadline.jpg)
The Broncos want to re-sign Jones, but he will likely draw a lot of interest on the open market. If a team offers Jones a contract in the range of $20 million per season, it’s hard to imagine Denver being willing to match it.
Prediction: GO
13
DL DeShawn Williams
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/05/DeShawn-Williams.jpg)
Especially if they lose Jones, the Broncos should re-sign Williams. He has been a pleasant surprise in recent seasons and could be a candidate to start again in 2023 if re-signed.
Prediction: STAY
14
LB Alex Singleton
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2023/02/Alex-Singleton.jpg)
Singleton should be a priority for the Broncos this offseason. He likely won’t command a big contract even after leading the team in tackles last year.
Prediction: STAY
15
LB Dakota Allen
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/08/Dakota-Allen.jpg)
Allen appeared in two games as a special teams player last year. He might return for a similar role this year, but he wouldn’t be a priority signing.
Prediction: GO
16
CB Darius Phillips
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2023/03/Darius-Phillips.jpg)
Phillips played in nine games last year as a rotational defensive back and special teams contributor. He could have a similar role in 2023.
Prediction: STAY
17
DB Kareem Jackson
![](https://broncoswire.usatoday.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/68/2022/06/Broncos-smack-talk.jpg.jpg)
The Broncos might offer Jackson another one-year contract to return as a veteran leader on defense, but his days as a starter might be behind him. Denver might decide to go younger (and cheaper) at safety.
Prediction: GO
