Brandon Marshall isn’t the only big-name Bronco that could theoretically interested suitors in restricted free agency.
The Denver Post reports the Broncos placed a first-round tender on quarterback Kyle Orton and guard Chris Kuper Wednesday. They each will make just more than $2.5 million. Tight end Tony Scheffler got a second-round tender.
We seriously doubt anyone will go after Orton, but crazier things have happened in a quarterback-starved market. Despite recent comments by Josh McDaniels, we still expect Scheffler to move.
That doesn’t mean a team will give up a second-round pick for him necessarily. But that could be a starting point for negotiations. The possible availability of Greg Olsen wouldn’t do the Broncos any favors.
