The Denver Broncos surprised the masses with their victory in Super Bowl 50. Will the upcoming offseason have any additional unexpected occurrences for John Elway and company? Here are five bold predictions for the reigning Super Bowl champions during the offseason.

5. A Significant Free Agent Tight End Will Be Signed

Owen Daniels continues to follow Gary Kubiak from team to team. He may be back with the Broncos next season, but upgrading the talent level at the position might still be an option. With a thin draft class coming, a foray into free agency (Antonio Gates?) could happen.

4. DeMarcus Ware Will Retire

It's hard to see Ware retiring on the heels of a very good season highlighted by a two-sack game in Super Bowl 50. But he will turn 34 in July, and there's something to be said for going out on top.

3. OT Ryan Clady Will Be Cut

Two of Clady's last three seasons have been derailed by significant injuries, and he's due to make $9.5 million next season and $10 million in 2017. The 29-year-old has said he is willing to restructure his contract with a desire to be a "lifetime Bronco", but cutting him seems just as likely right now.

2. A Trade Up In The Draft For A Quarterback

Peyton Manning is likely to retire, which would shift Brock Osweiler into the starting job if the Broncos re-sign him. But I can see an aggressive trade up for a quarterback by the Broncos during the 2016 draft at some point during the first three rounds.

1. If He Doesn't Retire, Peyton Manning Will Be Cut

Peyton Manning seems headed for retirement, if only because of an increasing number of physical ailments have taken the peak of his talent way. But if he delays making a decision for too long, or is hesitant to accept a substantial pay cut/a backup role, the Broncos may just cut ties with Manning and move on.
