When it comes to the Denver Broncos' need for offensive playmakers, tight end stands out. The Broncos don't have a tight end who can do enough on the field to elevate the offense. Nate Adkins has become a good blocker but looks more like a tight end/fullback hybrid type.

Three years ago, the Denver Broncos signed defensive lineman D.J. Jones to a three-year, $30 million contract. Jones lived up to that contract, starting 48 of a possible 51 games over the last three seasons.

So, the Broncos need to find a receiving threat at tight end or as Sean Payton puts it, his “Joker”. One name on the free agent market that could interest the Broncos is Saints tight end Juwan Johnson.
