Broncos: Hard choices over free agents looming

PFF-headlinesDenver has some tough decisions to make in the offseason. A few unsung heroes are free agents after the season and each made important contributions to the Broncos current playoff run.

Orlando Franklin has been Denver’s highest-graded lineman and ranks second in the league among guards with a Pass Block Efficiency of 98.6.  The main knock on his stellar season of work is the high number of penalties (10), third-most among guards.

On the other side of the line, Terrance Knighton has been stout against the run with the tenth-best Run Stop Percentage (8.5%) among DTs. His contributions weren’t quite as positive against the pass, coming in at 23 among DTs with a Pass Rushing Productivity of 4.6.

On the backend of the defense, Rahim Moore provided quality and quantity coverage, leading the league in coverage snaps (688) and Cover Snaps Per Target (31.1) and ranking third in Yards Per Cover Snap (0.27) and Cover Snaps Per Reception (40.5) among safeties with 500 or more coverage snaps.

Big playoff performances will only help these guys cash in this offseason.
