Broncos Predicted to Sign 10,000-Yard WR in NFL Free Agency

It was a good season for the Denver Broncos, led by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, going 10-7, finishing third in the AFC West and making a playoff appearance, eventually losing to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round 31-7.

Much of their success can be attributed to the defense, ranking third in points per game allowed (18.3), with their offense needing some work, finishing 10th in points per game (25) and 19th in total yards per game (325.6).

In order to help fix this, Dan Treacy predicts the Broncos will sign wide receiver Amari Cooper, who in his 10-year career has racked up 711 receptions, 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns.

"The Broncos are one of a few teams in the AFC West who could use a veteran receiver, and Denver can't just sit on its hands and not give [quarterback] Bo Nix any help," Treacy wrote. "Cooper would be a nice fit for Sean Payton's offense at the right price."

Cooper is coming off a poor year with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns, appearing in 14 games and hitting career lows in targets (85), receptions (44), yards (547), and touchdowns (four).

However, even those numbers would rival Marvin Mims Jr., who finished the season having the second-most yards (503), third-most receptions (39) and second-most touchdowns (six) of any Broncos wide receiver.

Cooper will be 31 years old by the start of the 2025 season, and if he can return to being the same player who has reached at least 1,000 receiving yards seven times, he could become a reliable target for Nix.
