Sylvester Williams

Williams, BroncosRumor has it, that the Broncos inquired about possibly acquiring defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson from the New York Jets prior to the NFL trade deadline.

It is no secret that the Denver defensive line has gotten noticeably softer this season.

The Orange Crush is now ranked 29th in rushing yards allowed, with over 128 yards per game, and safety T.J. Ward is the leading tackler on the team — when a safety is your leading tackler, you know backs are breaking through to the second level.

And while the Saints offense is primarily geared around their high-powered passing game, the Broncos need to see Sylvester Williams clog some lanes in the middle of the field.
