Broncos Urged to Sign Another Pro Bowl-Caliber Weapon for Bo Nix
Multiple areas of the Denver Broncos' offense have received facelifts this offseason after 2024 saw the team make the playoffs for the first time in nearly a decade.
First, the Broncos' tight end room got a significant boost in the form of former Jacksonville Jaguars pass-catcher Evan Engram, who inked a two-year deal worth $23 million on March 13. The franchise then bolstered its running back room by taking RJ Harvey with the No. 60 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and signing J.K. Dobbins as a free agent in June.
The makeup of the Broncos' wide receiver room, though, has remained stagnant for the most part, outside of using a third-round draft pick on Pat Bryant. That's why ClutchPoints' Douglas Fritz suggests that, if the team makes any more moves ahead of the regular season, it should be at the wideout position.
Fritz specifically believes the Broncos should sign Amari Cooper, who remains a free agent after playing for both the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in 2024.
"Yes, we’ve seen the dropoff. Cooper turned in a poor performance in 2024, totaling only 44 catches for 547 yards and four scores. His stats were almost evenly split between the Browns and the Bills, so it can’t all be based on poor quarterback play for the Browns," Fritz wrote. "However, Cooper reportedly played through injuries in 2024. If he’s healthier this year, he could provide a spark for the right team. And the Broncos seem to be a good fit."
Fritz – who also believes Cooper could be a good fit for the New Orleans Saints, Pittsburgh Steelers and San Francisco 49ers – cited an article written by Pro Football Focus' Max Chadwick and Dalton Wasserman that highlighted the Broncos' need for strong wide receiver play this upcoming season as rationale for the former Alabama star's potential signing.
“While the Broncos gave quarterback Bo Nix the highest-graded pass-blocking unit in football (83.5), they didn't provide ample skill-position weapons,” Chadwick and Wasserman wrote. “The Broncos earned the fifth-worst PFF receiving grade... in 2024."
Heading into 2025, the Broncos' wide receiver room will be headlined by Pro Bowler Courtland Sutton, Devaughn Vale, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin.
Cooper himself is a five-time Pro Bowler who, in addition to his time with the Browns and Bills, has previously played for the Oakland (now Las Vegas) Raiders and Dallas Cowboys over the course of his 10-year NFL career. He has collected 10,033 yards and 64 touchdowns on 711 catches in 154 professional appearances.
