Broncos urged to add 34-TD weapon for Bo Nix in 2026
The Denver Broncos could stand to add more weapons around Bo Nix, and there's one remaining free agent who would make a ton of sense.
Broncos urged to add 34-TD weapon for Bo Nix in 2026 originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The Denver Broncos were one of the more surprising teams in the league last season.
The Broncos finished with 14-3 record, won the AFC West, and made it all the way to the AFC Championship Game. Young passer Bo Nix had an admirable season, and even after recently trading for Jaylen Waddle, it seems like Broncos still need more weapons. As a result, Zachary Perales of CBS Sports identified tight end David Njoku as a logical fit.
Njoku is perhaps surprisingly still available, and he's proven to be a reliable pass-catcher in the past. Regarding Njoku's potential fit in Denver, Perales offered the following: Evan Engram had a quiet first year in Denver, and even after trading for Jaylen Waddle, the Broncos could look to upgrade their pass catchers around Bo Nix. This roster doesn't have many true holes -- and tight end really isn't one, either -- but (Njoku) could add some versatility.
As Perales mentioned, tight end isn't even a "need" per se, but it would be nice to have more options. Evan Engram didn't totally live up to expectations in his first year as a Bronco in 2025. The veteran caught 50 passes for 461 yards, but the Broncos were likely expecting more.
