Cushing isn't going anywhere; too cost-detrimental to the 2015 cap. I am also in the camp that the Texans and Andre figure out a way to keep him here until he retires.

Speculating here, but the cap casualty and UFA-types that are now maybe desirable to the Broncos are going to be Garrett Graham, Chris Myers, and Derek Newton.

Graham fits the TE mold for Kubiak's offense much moreso than O'Brien's. It would be great if the Texans could get a late round pick in exchange. Myers, traded from the Broncos to the Texans many years ago, is 34 and entering the final year on his contract. I think he's still worth what's he paid and necessary for 2015 success, but this has the makings of a trade scenario if the Broncos had the need. Newton wasn't much of a success while Kubiak was here, but he ought to know the offense and could be a target since Newton showed dramatic improvement in 2014.

Others like Keyshawn Martin and Danieal Manning might be of minimal interest. The defensive players will be more dependent on whomever the Broncos hire as their coordinator. Kubiak-types are limited to offense.

Rant Sports lists the following as Bronco needs. Perhaps Bob might comment to confirm or deny as I do not follow them as closely:

1. Offensive Line
2. Defensive Line
3. Safety
4. Middle Linebacker
5. Tight End
