Broncos consider signing Bobby Wagner to strengthen linebacker position

Summary

The Denver Broncos are contemplating signing free agent Bobby Wagner to enhance their linebacker corps. Current starters Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton are seen as insufficiently impactful, prompting suggestions for Wagner, a 10-time Pro Bowler. Analysts believe Wagner’s experience could elevate the Broncos' defense significantly. At 36, concerns remain about his performance longevity, despite a solid previous season with 162 tackles and two interceptions. The Broncos face competition from younger linebackers with potential, leading to questions about the team's strategy moving forward.
