AFC West Rumors: Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

Broncos executive VP John Elway said they haven’t had extension talks with CB Chris Harris yet. 

“That has not been thought about just yet,” Elway said, via the Denver Post. “We’ll see where things go. We’re going to get through this first wave and see what we can do in free agency. Then after that, we’ll look at different options.”

• Nicki Jhabvala reports that the Broncos met with free agent C Matt Paradis’ agent at the Combine and expressed interest in trying to keep him. Jhabvala says the talks between the two parties were “productive.”
• According to Mike Klis, the Broncos did not interview any of the top-four quarterback prospects at the Combine — Dwayne Haskins, Drew Lock, Kyler Murray or Daniel Jones.
• Klis mentions that Denver will most likely bring a couple of them in for pre-draft visits.

Chargers

Chargers GM Tom Telesco mentioned that RB Melvin Gordon is among the players they’re interested in signing to an extension, but there isn’t a timetable at this point in time. 

“I thought he had a great year and was highly productive for us this year,” Telesco said, via Chargers.com. “He’s a three-down back and puts a lot of balls in the end zone for us, a lot of touchdowns. He’s a great player. We’ve got him and a number of other guys that will look at extending at some point. I don’t have a timetable on those guys, but we’ve gotten to the point if we’re going to say our philosophy is to draft, develop and re-sign, we want to extend those guys we’d like to have back long-term. But I don’t have a timetable on anything like that.”
