WHY THE BRONCOS COULD BE INTERESTED: It took Shareece Wright two years to start gaining traction as a young cornerback in San Diego, but after grabbing the starting job in his third season, he grew into a solid, league-average cornerback.
In Baltimore last year, Wright got off to an equally rough start, backing up Lardarius Webb for the first five weeks of the season, before taking the starting gig in Week 6. After giving up 132 yards and two touchdowns in that first performance, he went on to limit his opponents to just 124 receiving yards and a touchdown through his next 10 games, via BaltimoreRavens.com.
As an under-the-radar prospect, Wright is still a guy the Broncos could grab at a below-market-value price.
