The Senior Bowl is an annual hotbed for NFL chatter and this year the Denver Broncos are at the center of discussion.

After speaking with Denver sources and those close to other teams, WalterFootball.com reported the Broncos are gearing up to make a "huge run" at impending free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins, the biggest free-agent fish this offseason.

Should they land Cousins, the outlet claims, Paxton Lynch likely would hit the trade block and, at a minimum, "have to fight for a roster spot." Lynch purportedly "was not popular in the locker room" as he limped -- literally and figuratively -- through a disappointing sophomore campaign.

Although heavily speculative, this should come as little surprise.

The league's worst-kept secret is that the Broncos will overhaul its QB room in the weeks ahead, with Trevor Siemian already drawing trade interest and Brock Osweiler, a free agent, not expected to re-sign. Only Chad Kelly is assured to return for next season as a developmental type, which further hurts Lynch's chances of sticking around.

What's become fairly evident is that Cousins is squarely in Denver's crosshairs. Earlier this month, the Sporting News reported they'd make him a "big offer," while former NFL general manager Mark Dominik said he believes they'll be "huge players" for his sought-after services.

Lynch's fate with the organization could boil down to whether they turn these predictions into reality.
