Even as they fix offense, Broncos must address talent drain on defense

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the past 12 months, the Denver Broncos have seen three Pro Bowl players exit their defense.

In the past three weeks, Broncos president of football operations/general manager John Elway has said he believes the team’s defense can still be among the league’s best. If that is true, the Broncos will need to improve at addition to make up for that roster subtraction.

Denver traded cornerback Aqib Talib to the Los Angeles Rams for a fifth-round pick earlier this month. Talib had been named to the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons with the Broncos.
