The Denver Broncos are on the hunt for a versatile offensive weapon, and Evan Engram could be the perfect fit. Sean Payton’s desire for a “joker” – a dynamic player capable of creating mismatches – aligns perfectly with Engram’s skill set.

Engram, fresh off his release from the Jaguars, is set to meet with the Broncos, signaling a strong mutual interest.1 His 2023 season, where he racked up an impressive 114 receptions, demonstrates his ability to be a reliable target and a potent threat in the passing game.

For the Broncos, Engram would fill a crucial need. Rookie quarterback Bo Nix struggled at times last season, lacking a consistent option over the middle of the field. Engram’s presence would provide that safety valve, easing pressure on Nix and opening up opportunities for other receivers like Courtland Sutton.

This potential signing would be a significant boost to the Broncos’ offense, giving them the dynamic playmaker they’ve been searching for. Engram’s versatility and playmaking ability could be the key to unlocking the Broncos’ offensive potential.c
