2025 stats<\/a>: 17 games played with 17 starts. 107 total tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, 10 quarterback hits, six passes defensed, one interception and one forced fumble.<\/p>\nShould the Broncos sign linebacker Kaden Elliss?<\/p>\n
The Broncos need to get younger at the position and that likely means drafting some inside linebacker talent this year. However, that means they\u2019ll likely need a veteran signing to help fill the gap while the rookie works towards an NFL starter.<\/p>\n
That brings a guy like Kaden Elliss into the picture for the Broncos. He is already 30 years old and a deal would need to be a 1-2 year type of offer, because this would truly be a rental type situation. It would ultimately come down to the type of market Elliss sees when free agency begins. If he makes it into the tier 2 or 3 group, then his value might make more sense for Denver.<\/p>\n
Why the Broncos will not sign Kaden Elliss in free agency<\/p>\n
That\u2019s my main issue with this free agent and why I think the Broncos will not try to sign Kaden Elliss. They will look to get younger at the position, but a veteran rental for the next year or two would make a lot of sense too. That could be the only reason why Elliss would make sense.<\/p>\n
I like the idea of pairing the brothers on the field, but I also think Jonah Elliss could be a guy the Broncos try to move for picks at some point. He\u2019s just too good to sit behind the starters. The greedy part of me wants to keep all of the depth, because its nice to have great players everywhere.<\/p>\n
The other issue I have is Elliss\u2019 age. He is 30 and turns 31 this year. We all know how hard it is to maintain starter-level play at most positions into your 30s at the NFL level. The drop-off may not some this year for Elliss, but its certainly close enough to be concerned about. And trading a 32-year-old Alex Singleton for a 31-year-old Elliss also doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense. Might as well try to re-sign Singleton at that point.<\/p>\n
