While the NFL turns its attention to the playoffs, which get underway this weekend with four wild card games, teams that arent participating in the postseason have already turned their attention toward 2020. For some, that means hiring new coaches and general managers. For others, like the Broncos, its about mapping out how to improve their team before the start of next season.

The first step in that process will involve evaluating the players currently on the roster, which will get underway in a month. For the first time, the Broncos will be taking a break before grading their own players, something both John Elway and Vic Fangio explained in their end-of-the-season press conference on Monday.

That gives us more time to do it the right way, the Broncos general manager explained. Rather than doing it on a personal side, because the coaches get connected with (players). You get a better objective view when you get away and youre able to go back and look at it individually.

Its an approach the head coach brought with him to Denver.

After you have a chance to go and watch the season in its entirety and the emotional level good and bad has disappeared, Fangio said. You make a better objective grade after you watch the entire season again in a logical manner.

That process will get started in late January or early February, but itll be far from the only thing on the Broncos agenda this offseason. Here are some other key dates that will provide the franchise with a road map for retooling its roster:
