Garett Bolles believes the Denver Broncos will soon become a highly sought-after destination for free agents. After their disappointing 10-7 defeat to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game, the team's focus has shifted from a potential Super Bowl appearance to preparing for the first week of the 2026 NFL season.
As part of this preparation, the Broncos are expected to make significant changes to their roster. Several key players, including J.K. Dobbins, John Franklin-Myers, Justin Strnad, and Alex Singleton, will be entering free agency, which could lead to an entirely different lineup when the team next takes the field.
In a recent statement, left tackle Garett Bolles expressed his belief that the team needs "a couple more playmakers" to enhance their competitiveness. He is optimistic about attracting talent, stating, "People want to come to Denver. I mean, I’ll be shocked to see how many free agents want to come here. We’ve got a young team, we have a quarterback, and we possess the best offensive line in football — I don’t care what anyone says. We do." This kind of confidence suggests that Bolles sees a bright future for the franchise as it rebuilds.
Moreover, one significant advantage the Broncos will gain in the upcoming league year is the alleviation of salary cap constraints tied to Russell Wilson's contract. How the team allocates their resources moving forward will be critical in their quest to return to Super Bowl contention by this time next year.
