How the Broncos stay all-in

NFL, Denver Broncos

Modeled after Insider's #NBAFrontOffice project, our NFL Front Office Insiders are taking a look at the biggest offseason questions facing the league's most compelling teams. In this edition, they take over the Denver Broncos, looking at how they should prioritize their top free agents such as Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas, what to do on defense and whether to go all-in for what could be Peyton Manning's final season.

Mark Dominik serves as our general manager, Herm Edwards as our head coach, Louis Riddick as our director of player personnel, and Aaron Schatz provides his expertise using Football Outsiders' advanced metrics. Join the conversation on Twitter via @ESPNInsider with the hashtag #NFLFrontOffice


Mark Dominik (general manager): We're going to start this exercise making the assumption that Peyton Manning is going to be back playing quarterback for us next season, and I'm going to start by saying that we won't be looking to restructure his contract. Instead, to me this offseason is all about improving the offense around him. We invested heavily on defense last season with guys such as DeMarcus Ware and Aqib Talib, and this year needs to be about helping the offense.

We have two really good pass-catchers who are free agents in Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas. I want to hear from the three of you on how you prioritize those two guys.
