The Denver Broncos linebackers were a question mark heading into the season and took a major hit early in the year when Alex Singleton suffered a season-ending ACL injury. With him sidelined, the team had to start veteran Cody Barton and longtime special teams player Justin Strnad. Both had their moments early on, but as the season progressed, teams began to single these two out as weaknesses and exploited that throughout the season's final month.
Now, heading into the offseason, improving their linebacker position is a priority and they could look to their divisional rival for help.
