WHY THE BRONCOS COULD BE INTERESTED: Jerrell Freeman is never going to jump of the screen at you like a Luke Kuechly might, but he’s one heck of a football player. Since coming over from the CFL, Freeman has been a lynchpin of the Colts’ defense, topping 100 total tackles in all four of his seasons in Indianapolis.
He’s a little old for just a fifth-year player (thanks to those three seasons in Canada) at 29, but he could easily slide inside for the Broncos and make an immediate impact.
