Benjamin Allbright of Yahoo Sports reported the Denver Broncos should not be interested in the guard.
Orlando Franklin isn’t better than Ron Leary or Max Garcia, so why would the #Broncos be interested?

Andrew Mason of denverbroncos.com shared his thoughts.
For what it’s worth, Orlando Franklin allowed more QB hurries & QB hits than all but 4 guards last year, per @PFF.

Franklin is a former second round pick of the Denver Broncos back in the 2011 NFL Draft. He spent four years with the club before joining the Chargers.
Last season with the club he played and started in all 16 games. With the Chargers drafting players at the guard position, the writing was on the wall for a Franklin exit.
