Reading the tea leaves, Kirk Cousins seems destined for the Mile High City.

Multiple reports on Tuesday linked the impending free agent quarterback to the Denver Broncos, whose top priority this offseason is landing a franchise, likely veteran, field general.

First, Eric Galko of the Sporting News floated that Denver has "made it clear to those close to Cousins that they’re ready to make a big offer." He believes the Cousins sweepstakes will be a two-team race between the Broncos and his current employer, the Washington Redskins, still considered the "clear favorite."

"The Redskins haven’t done themselves any favors with how they’ve handled Cousins since the 2012 draft, but the fact that he’s grown into a sense of comfort in Washington with coach Jay Gruden and kept relatively upright thanks to offensive line coach Bill Callahan, Washington should be the clear favorite," wrote Galko.

Then, in an appearance on SiriusXM Radio, former NFL general manager and current analyst Mark Dominik said he believes John Elway and the Broncos will be "huge players" for Cousins' services, despite a potential price tag of over $27 million annually.

"I think John Elway is gonna go back to getting a veteran QB who's been there, done that instead of the guessing game of whether Paxton Lynch is the right choice," said Dominik.

This all jibes with speculation emanating out of Dove Valley over the last month -- that Denver is going to make a "big push" for Cousins -- and major outlets connecting Kirk to Colorado.

Speaking at Tuesday's year-end press conference, Elway essentially admitted he'll go all out to bolster what's been his biggest bugaboo since Peyton Manning called it quits.

"We expect to have an answer there, however that goes," Elway said of his QB plans. "I think that thought process makes me think we're going to have a better year. Because the fact is we've got to figure out how to get that position playing better. ... There is no doubt we've got to get better at that position. For us to have a chance to get better, we've got to get better at that position."

And for them to get better at that position, it'd make sense to wrangle the best option on the open market.
