I was looking at some 2013 free agent lists and I was thinking, will Peyton be able to help recruit some FA's like John Elway used to ? Elway's presence alone was a factor for several FA acquisitions when he was playing, can the same be said about Peyton playing here ?

oh for sure. I think he may help more than he did in Indy. Denver is already a pretty attractive working spot.

Dreessen, Tamme and Caldwell came partly because of Peyton. Hopefully, we can step up our FA recruting efforts next offseason. Porter was the biggest 'star' to sign with Denver in a while. With a successful campaign this season, I expect the Broncos to be able to land at least one actual star FA- if we choose to do so, of course. Our performance with Manning and the prospect of playing for a Peyton led team itself will help to achieve that.

Love to see Jennings here, perhaps Rey Maualuga or Felix Jones too

Don't fall in love with the idea of Greg Jennings. He will not be a Bronco. It makes no sense for us to pay him what he would be seeking.

We need to sign Clady, Miller, Porter, Thomas etc etc, we can't afford to throw cash at Jennings, as much as I'd love him.

Felix Jones is intriguing though.

First priority is locking up Ryan Clady. I was the first guy to bash him after his very subpar season in 2011. But he is IMO having his best season as a Bronco. He obviously didn't work well with Tebow's chaotic play as the QB. Scramblng all over the field like a chicken with its head cut off didn't suit what Clady does well.

This is from my earlier post in the college thread about FAs that should be on our list: Marcel Reece, Delanie Walker, Greg Jennings, Joshua Cribbs, Carlos Clemons, Henry Melton, Randy Starks, Kelvin Hayden and Greg Toler. The ones in italics are the group of players I think we could actually sign a couple from. A few multi-purpose offensive weapons, a DE and DTs as well as CB depth.

Henry Melton has been a beast this year; he is going to get PAID this Summer.
