Broncos 2023 Free-Agent Centers to Match With Russell Wilson
Along with right tackle and offensive guard, the Denver Broncos are likely to be looking for a new center this offseason. With Graham Glasgow a potential cap casualty and Lloyd Cushenberry III not improving in three seasons and getting injured, the Broncos will need to find somebody who can handle the snapping duties and help with interior blocking.
Let's look at the centers who have played at least 60% of snaps this season and who are currently set to become unrestricted free agents.
Connor McGovern | New York Jets
Austin Blythe | Seattle Seahawks
Garrett Bradbury | Garrett Vikings
Bradley Bozeman | Carolina Panthers
Evan Brown | Detroit Lions
Ethan Pocic | Cleveland Browns
Scott Quessenberry | Houston Texans
Jake Brendel | San Francisco 49ers
Billy Price | Arizona Cardinals
Bottom Line
As you can see, it's not an appealing free-agent list. McGovern could likely garner money that would put him near the top of the market, and Brendel might be prepared to cash in, too, assuming the Niners don't keep him.
However, signing a younger center to a one-year deal could at least give the Broncos stability at the position. Bradbury and Brown might be the best candidates for such a deal, though you might be fine with Blythe.
As long as the Broncos don't commit to too many years, they should be able to find somebody who will be less expensive than Glasgow and an upgrade over Cushenberry. From there, the Broncos can look at drafting and developing somebody for the long term.
