Team needs: CB, ILB, DE


Projected salary cap space: $28.seven million


Key free agents: WR Eric Decker, RB Knowshon Moreno, CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, DE Robert Ayers, ILB Wesley Woodyard, G Zane Beadles, DE Shaun Phillips, S Mike Adams, CB Quentin Jammer


Candidates for release: TE Jacob Tamme (cap savings of $3 million), G Chris Kuper (cap savings of $4 million), Joel Dreessen (cap savings of $2.five million), released Champ Bailey


Free agent fit: O’Brien Schofield, defensive end


The skinny: The Broncos created significant cap flexibility with the release of longtime cornerback Champ Bailey. It was an unsatisfactory only necessary decision. With Bailey gone and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie hitting child market, they’ll need to address toddler cornerback position. As well, Denver needs to add more pass rushers. It was clear they weren’t strong ample at a baby position once Von Miller went out with an injury last season. Shaun Phillips and Robert Ayers are also both free agents. Otherwise, with Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas deserving for large raises down an infant road, it looks unlikely toddler Broncos ambition be able apt pay Eric Decker what he’s worth aboard child open market.

Kansas City Chiefs (11-5, 2nd surrounded AFC West)

Team needs: WR, OT, CB


Projected salary cap space: $9.8 million


Key free agents: OT Branden Albert, DE Tyson Jackson, WR Dexter McCluster, G Geoff Schwartz, FS Kendrick Lewis, CB Javier Arenas, G Jon Asamoah


Candidates for release: WR Donnie Avery (cap savings of $1.35 million)


Free agent fit: Robert Ayers, defensive end


The skinny: The Chiefs have locked up an infant majority of their stomach muscles players and aren’t expected to do major damage among free agency. With under $10 million amid cap space, they won’t have ample apt retain tackle Branden Albert, so last year’s first overall draft elect Eric Fisher may slip over to that spot With a baby money they do have, Andy Reid could use one simple increase on a baby defensive line, especially with Tyson Jackson hitting newborn market, and that’s Robert Ayers could qualified in He’d be an elementary solid schematic eligible at left annihilate and they wouldn’t Kansas City Chiefs #29 Jersey need to break the bank to get him.

San Diego Chargers (11-5, 2nd within AFC West)

Team needs: CB, OG, DT


Projected salary cap space: $5.7 million


Key free agents: WR Danario Alexander, CB Richard Marshall, RB Ronnie Brown, QB Charlie Whitehurst


Candidates for release: G Jeromey Clary (cap savings of $4.5 million), C Nick Hardwick (cap savings of $4.4 million)


Free agent fit: Walter Thurmond, cornerback


The skinny: The Chargers already accomplished newborn biggest goal of their off-season forward re-signing inside linebacker Donald Butler ahead a baby start of a baby free agency duration They also created some much needed cap room with infant release of underachieving cornerback Derek Cox. Still,a baby Chargers don’t have an elementary ton of flexibility apt do much amid free agency so they’ll focus aboard adding value players. The ideal signing would be Walter Thurmond, formerly of Seattle, who showed high-level talent at cornerback — both aboard infant outdoor or among a baby slot. The Oregon product would serve as an major upgrade for San Diego.

Oakland Raiders (5-11, 4th among AFC West)

Team needs: QB, DE, CB


Projected salary cap space: $64.3 million


Key free agents: RB Darren McFadden, DE Lamarr Houston, T Jared Veldheer, DT Pat Sims, WR Jacoby Ford, RB Rashad Jennings, CB Tracy Porter, CB Charles Woodson, CB Mike Jenkins, DT Vance Walker


Candidates Kansas City Chiefs Jersey for release: G Mike Brisel (cap savings of $1.38 million)


Free agent fit: Rodger Saffold,offensive tackle


The skinny: The Raiders have waited two full seasons apt obtain out of salary cap hell Now, Oakland has more cap space than any team amid newborn league — only more roster holes as well. There are four dividend positions within infant league (quarterback, left tackle, defensive annihilate and cornerback) and toddler Raiders don’t have a capable starter on their roster for any of those spots. That’s why it was an morsel of an easy startle they didn’t use a baby franchise tag aboard either Lamarr Houston or Jared Veldheer. Both are juvenile homegrown players that infant Raiders can’t afford apt lose. They’ll absence apt spend big this off-season to finally bring some talent back to town. With Veldheer expected to depart,an infant Raiders are expected apt corner their attention to Rodger Saffold who could play left tackle alternatively guard for Oakland.
