However, the Broncos have been linked to now two veteran free agent linebackers who if signed would likely be getting starting snaps with the defense. <\/p>\n<p id=\"C4vgXZ\">Just a few days ago, the Broncos had veteran linebacker Joe Schobert in for a visit who was a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season.  Now, trying to sign Barr, are the Broncos not happy with what they are seeing from their inside linebackers? <\/p>\n<p id=\"A0WEz9\">Jewell has been a steady linebacker and earned high praise from GM George Paton so I would be surprised if they were unhappy with his play.  Meanwhile, I have heard some fairly rave reviews about Griffith who really looked good at the end of last season.  Singleton is a veteran who has a history of 100+ tackle seasons and can be a contributor on special teams.  So their interest in veteran inside linebackers is rather interesting. <\/p>\n<p id=\"5PCLpw\">We shall see if the Broncos continue to show interest in other veteran inside linebackers or if they decide to bring in Schobert after they missed out on Barr. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to reports, the Denver Broncos tried signing veteran linebacker and former Vikings linebacker, Anthony Barr.
