NFL Free Agency Predictions: Denver Broncos Sign Travis Etienne, More Guesses for other teams

Etienne is the guy. It just seems like that’s who the Broncos will sign at RB.

You want to trust a FA RT but then it quickly can become a mess

You think you can trust a FA RT instead of just keeping one in (house).

he has β€œextreme fatigue” that developed and persisted after β€œan upper respiratory illness.” if it’s not POTS it’s long covid or both. i don’t expect sports journalists to represent the zenith of public health reporting, but there should at least be an understanding of post-viral illness atp

But after looking at everything and reading all the tea leaves, I think the Broncos will end up signing Etienne, formerly of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

That's because the Chiefs are going to sign Kenny Walker.

It's important because Kansas City has been the team most-mentioned when it comes to Etienne this offseason. But now that Walker is available, and not re-signing with Seattle, they're going to sign the former Super Bowl MVP as their new RB.

That will leave Etienne for the Broncos.

Etienne started his career with back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, then fell off in 2024. It was his worst season as a professional, with only 558 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns.

But he had a huge resurgence last season in what was arguably his best year ever. Etienne went over the 1,000-yard mark again, on a 4.3-yard per carry average. He ran in 7 touchdowns, but also caught 6 more scores for the Jags.

During this offseason, I've written how the Broncos should sign Rachaad White, Tyler Allgeier, trade for David Montgomery, sign Kenny Walker, and now Travis Etienne.

Reading the tea leaves, I think Etienne will be the guy.

I can get behind this. I wouldn't even be mad if they re-signed JK on a cheap deal as well to round out the room.

Yes, definitely.

Ironically ran 46.7% of yards between the tackles. Dude likes to go outside. But he can be a bruiser when needed.

The United States was bombing hospitals in Iraq almost ten years ago. What is this imaginary country that people assume this one is that wouldn’t kill innocent people? Everything Israel does, the US has done.
