There is an idea among football fans that if a team wants to retain a player, they can re-sign that player no questions asked. For the Denver Broncos, this idea hit close to home after losing Brock Osweiler, Malik Jackson, Danny Trevathan and David Bruton to open free agency and almost losing C.J. Anderson to Miami.
There is no bigger myth than this idea. Appearing on NFL Network, Jackson said the Broncos could have kept himself, Osweiler and Trevathan had the team only approached them earlier.
