Ward, Talib, Ware … is Steve Smith the next shoe to drop in Denver?
Broncos fans are elated over the signings that Elway and Company have made so far in free agency. Denver has added two pro-bowlers on defense in Talib and Ward and one nasty quarterback-hungry pass rusher in Ware. There’s no question that the defense is going to be far better in 2014.
Now fans are clamoring for an all-star addition on offense. Steve Smith, the primadonna wide-out, was cut by the Panthers today, making him the latest eye-popping free agent to hit the market.
The Broncos have certainly not been shy about bringing in mercenaries since Elway’s arrival in the front office so there’s no reason to think the team won’t make Smith an offer, especially in light of the fact that they let Eric Decker walk away. Unlike the defensive signings, however, making a move on Smith would very much be for “right now”. Smith could potentially be the next shoe to drop in Denver via free agency. It’s more likely, however, that the Broncos look to improve their receiving corps through the draft.
Nothing John Elway does should surprise anybody, though. He has an “anything is possible” mentality.
