The Denver Broncos are expected to make big changes to their offensive line this offseason, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the team make a few splashes during NFL free agency to shore up the protection for quarterback Russell Wilson.
It’s possible that left tackle Garett Bolles and guard Quinn Meinerz might be the team’s only returning starters on the line in 2023. Guard Dalton Risner is scheduled to become a free agent on March 15, center Graham Glasgow was released on Friday, and the team still doesn’t have an answer at right tackle.
The Broncos have been going through short-term solutions at the right tackle position for years. Denver would probably love to lock down the right tackle position with a multi-year contract for a top free agent who could start across from Bolles.
Here’s a quick look at 12 free-agent right tackles the Broncos should consider signing this spring, listed by age.
1. Jawaan Taylor (25)
2. Oli Udoh (26)
3. Calvin Anderson (27)
4. Jermaine Eluemunor (28)
5. Mike McGlinchey (28)
6. Kaleb McGary (28)
7. Andrew Wylie (28)
8. Storm Norton (28)
9. George Fant (30)
10. Cam Fleming (30)
11. Dennis Kelly (33)
12. Kelvin Beachum (33)
Bonus: Orlando Brown Jr. (26)
All of the tackles above can play right tackle. Brown can also play on the right side, but he prefers to be a left tackle. Denver already has the left side covered with Bolles, and they are not planning to part ways with Bolles this offseason. If plans change and the Broncos do end up trading Bolles, Brown would be a top candidate to replace him.
