The Denver Broncos have released wide receiver Josh Reynolds, opening up a void in their receiving corps. However, the team is expressing optimism in their ability to fill that void from within and outside the organization.
The Broncos have several young wide receivers who could step up in Reynolds’s absence. Tim Patrick, who missed the entire 2022 season due to an ACL injury, is expected to return healthy and contribute as a top target. Cortland Sutton, the team’s leading receiver in 2021, will also be looked upon to take on a larger role.
Beyond Patrick and Sutton, the Broncos have KJ Hamler, Seth Williams, and Jalen Virgil, all of whom have shown flashes of potential. Hamler, in particular, could be a breakout candidate if he can stay healthy and build chemistry with new quarterback Russell Wilson.
If the Broncos cannot find a suitable replacement internally, they could look outside the organization via trade or free agency. Several veteran wide receivers remain available on the market, including Odell Beckham Jr., Antonio Brown, and Julio Jones.
Any of these receivers could provide the Broncos with a proven target, but they also come with their own set of risks. Beckham Jr. and Jones have dealt with injuries in recent years, while Brown has a history of off-field issues.
The Broncos’ tight end group could be one of their strengths in 2023, and they could play a significant role in replacing Reynolds’s production.
While losing Josh Reynolds is a blow to the Broncos’ offense, the team is confident in their ability to replace his production. They have several young wide receivers who could step up, and they could also look to the free agent or trade market for a veteran target. Additionally, their talented tight end group could help make up for Reynolds’s absence.
The Broncos’ offense is still under construction, but they have the pieces in place to be successful in 2023. Replacing Josh Reynolds will be a challenge, but it is one that they are confident they can overcome.
