Even before the threat of losing cornerback Samari Rolle to St. Louis, cornerback was a priority. Another wide receiver is a must as is an interior offensive lineman and backup running back. The Broncos have been extremely active this free agency period with key signings of defensive linemen Leon Lett, Keith Washington and Chester McGlockton, linebacker Ricardo McDonald and re-signing linebacker John Mobley. Cornerback Denard Walker was added to Ray Rhodes' physical defense. Denver signed center Quentin Neujahr after he was released from Jacksonville due to cap problems.
Defense is still a priority where a pass rusher is needed despite the additions.
More speed is sought in the secondary. A third wide receiver is a possibility. A starting-caliber running back and cornerback is needed along with a linebacker and at least one offensive lineman. Adding a defensive tackle to replace Chester McGlockton is also likely. The Raiders have been productive finding bargains in free agency, signing defensive end Trace Armstrong, wide receiver Yatil Green and re-signing receiver James Jett.
