The Denver Broncos are playing the biggest game of the year as they take on the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium, but what happens to the roster beyond this year is very much in question as running back Knowshon Moreno and wide receiver Eric Decker could be prepared to move on through free agency regardless of the outcome of Super Bowl XLVIII.
According to NFL.com, the Broncos are expecting Moreno to walk once free agency kicks off in March, and they also believe that Decker may leave through free agency as well.
According to the report, the team views Decker as a No.2 receiver that may seek to command a No.1 receiver's contract, though it could be possible that the Broncos leaked this as a way to drive down Decker's value.
According to the report, the Broncos expect Decker to come back to them with his best offer but he may not give them the chance.
Decker may be prepared to leave the team given the right offer while the team still has to shore up Demaryius Thomas and Julius Thomas--who are both going to enter big contract seasons.
The Broncos are expected to retain defensive end Shaun Phillips, who led the team with 10 sacks this season. Decker's future with the team remains a question mark.
Decker had 87 receptions for 1,288 yards while reaching the end zone 11 times for the Broncos this season. It remains to be seen if he'll leave through free agency.
