The Jacksonville Jaguars need veteran upgrades on offense and youth on defense. And guess what the Denver Broncos are offering in their 2015 NFL free agency class?
Although the Jaguars haven't historically signed a lot of Broncos, that doesn't mean they won't have their eye on some guys when free agency opens in a few weeks. Who is a free agent in March? Here's the full list:

Let's get this out of the way: Peyton Manning tight ends are a bad investment. That's not to say that every tight end whom Peyton Manning has thrown to has been bad, rather their production is maximized by scheme and (more importantly) being thrown to by the best quarterback currently in the game.
Will Julius Thomas be a target? Sure. He should be. He's a good player. Will he be signed? Probably not, but only because he'll command more of a salary than his risk is worth. I'd say Miami Dolphins tight end Charles Clay or a high draft pick has a better chance donning a Jaguars jersey this fall.
Rahim Moore could get some play from general manager Dave Caldwell.
If any Broncos player garners interest, it's going to be Demaryius Thomas. He's young and no matter how you feel about our current receiving corps, our top four guys are three rookies and Cecil Shorts III.
