WHY THE BRONCOS COULD BE INTERESTED: The Broncos can’t let David Bruton walk, can they? He’s more of a Bronco than just about anybody on this team.
For all these years, he’s played the role of special teamer to perfection; he’s one of the best the Broncos have ever had. And when he got the opportunity to make bigger impact last season, that’s exactly what he did, broken leg or not.
Plus, his ability to cover tight ends allows T.J. Ward to do what he does best: Lay the hammer.
