The Denver Broncos struck gold with an undrafted rookie free agent. That player was running back Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay made an immediate impact, rushing for 71 yards in his first game and 107 in the following week. He didn’t stop there. In his first season in the NFL, Lindsay ended up appearing in 15 games. […]

The Denver Broncos opened up their training camp earlier than most NFL teams, and unfortunately were hit with the injury bug during one of their first practices. Thursday, Broncos linebacker Todd Davis was injured and needed to be carted off after suffering an apparent leg injury. According to multiple reports from the practice (via Pro […]

The Denver Broncos aren’t far removed from a Super Bowl victory. However, last season they went just 6-10 and didn’t even make the playoffs. Now they head into 2019 with a new team. Denver has a new veteran quarterback and a rookie waiting in the wings. They also have an exciting running back and a […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders has said his goal all off-season was to get ready for week one and he has taken another step towards that goal. According to James Palmer of NFL Network, Sanders was participating in the individual period of day one of training camp. Emmanuel Sanders in an individual period on […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco parted ways with the only team he knew in unceremonious fashion this offseason. General manager John Elway is confident that he can end his career with a bang. Flacco will have an opportunity to show he still has plenty left in the tank following his departure from the Baltimore Ravens. […]

The Denver Broncos haven’t exactly had an easy time filling the quarterback position since Peyton Manning retired following the 2015-16 campaign. The Broncos tried Trevor Siemian. They tried Paxton Lynch. They tried Case Keenum. No one worked. But earlier this offseason, Denver swung a trade for former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, and the Broncos […]

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller has long been considered one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers. Regardless, head coach Vic Fangio is hoping to help him kick things up a notch in the 2019 NFL season. There is plenty of optimism surrounding the arrival of Fangio from his stint as defensive coordinator for the Chicago […]

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris is entering the final year of his contract, so he knows this is an opportunity for him to earn a big payday, if not with the Broncos, then with someone else. As a result, Harris is laser focused heading into 2019. “I feel like this year I have even more […]

The Denver Broncos have finally agreed to terms with rookie quarterback Drew Lock, according to Pro Football Talk. Lock, who played his collegiate football at the University of Missouri, was selected by the Broncos in the second round (42nd pick overall) of the NFL Draft back in April. However, because Lock was apparently seeking a […]

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt has torn his ACL three times, but that isn’t stopping him from trying to continue his dream of playing in the NFL. Butt, who suffered his third torn ACL late last September, is preparing to gradually work his way back in training camp. “I think going into camp I’m […]

If all goes according to plan, Drew Lock will eventually assume the role of the Denver Broncos’ franchise quarterback. Just because he’s always been poised to sit behind veteran signal-caller Joe Flacco as a rookie, though, hardly means the Broncos can afford the University of Missouri product holding out from training camp. The Broncos opened […]

Emmanuel Sanders has been working typically hard to be ready for the start of the regular season after suffering a major injury in 2018. With training camp just a day away, though, the Denver Broncos star still hasn’t quite fully recovered. Sanders told The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala on Tuesday that he won’t be “full-go” for […]

The Denver Broncos found their potential future franchise quarterback in Drew Lock during the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, it seems there is a good chance he does not make it to training camp. Both lock and left guard Dalton Risner still have yet to sign their rookie deals. According to Mike […]

Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning is one of the most accomplished players in NFL history — quarterbacks or otherwise. The future Pro Football Hall of Famer is also a wealth of NFL knowledge, and the legendary signal-caller recently told a story of how former United States President Richard Nixon influenced the […]

Former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning has already proved himself as an NFL player while the future Pro Football Hall of Fame signal caller is now in the process of cementing his legacy as a storyteller for ESPN. Most recently, Manning mapped out an interview that he conducted with Chicago Bears owner […]

The Denver Broncos have been optimistic about the health of two of their key players on offense in running back Phillip Lindsay and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. It appears they are each coming with something to prove in the 2019 NFL season. Both players have spent the offseason nursing injuries. According to Nicki Jhabvala of […]

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay had an incredible rookie season. Counted out by just about everybody and not heralded as a top prospect, Lindsay went undrafted. The University of Colorado star had a lot of doubters, and critics didn’t think he would transition well to the pro game. He had offers from a bunch […]

Last season there was a lot of speculation about Peyton Manning could possibly take a TV gig as an announcer for NFL games. However, the reports were that he was continuously rejecting them. Although many had a strong speculation as to what was causing it, nothing was ever confirmed – until now. According to Mike […]

The Denver Broncos are anxiously awaiting the return of several notable players on offense. It seems wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is making solid progress.

The Denver Broncos have ushered in some significant changes this offseason. Fortunately, it appears they plan to have a familiar face back in running back Phillip Lindsay. Lindsay has spent the offseason nursing a wrist injury. According to 9NEWs insider Mike Klis, he is expected to be good to go once training camp rolls around: […]

Champ Bailey is one of the greatest cornerbacks to ever play. Throughout his 15 years (five with the Washington Redskins and 10 with the Denver Broncos), Bailey was one of the most consistent performers in the NFL. That has led to this: Bailey surprised no one by getting inducted into the Pro Football Hall of […]

Denver Broncos linebacker has not been shy about expressing his desire to break some all-time sack records. It appears he will have some competition from Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence. Miller made it clear that he will be pursuing Michael Strahan’s single-season mark of 22.5 sacks moving forward. Lawrence plans on reaching the milestone […]

The Denver Broncos are coming off of a 2018 campaign in which they won just six games, marking the first time they had endured back-to-back losing seasons since 1972, a truly incredible feat. The Broncos have not made the playoffs since last winning the Super Bowl during the 2015-16 campaign, and going into 2019, Denver […]

The Denver Broncos planned for the future when they took quarterback Drew Lock in the second round of April’s draft. They had been widely linked to Lock in the run up to the draft, and many observers thought they’d take Lock in the first round. They passed at first, but couldn’t resist when he was […]

There hasn’t been much talk about the Denver Broncos this off-season, but that isn’t something that bothers cornerback Chris Harris. Most of the conversation surrounding the AFC West is about the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, and even though the Broncos picked up Joe Flacco, there isn’t much buzz around the team. […]

The Denver Broncos have officially entered into a new era with the AFC West franchise infamously acquiring veteran quarterback Joe Flacco in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens. Not only that, but the rest of Denver’s offense will be forced to take the next step as well, a group that includes soon-to-be second-year wide receiver, […]

The Denver Broncos have been itching to get back into the playoffs since they won the Super Bowl in 2015. That was when they had Peyton Manning under center and their defense was the best in the NFL. Now, their defense has the potential to be one of the best in the NFL but can […]

Kevin Hogan needs to play in preseason games. Joe Flacco does not. This relates to a preseason playing decision made by an AFC West underdog. The Denver Broncos have a new group of quarterbacks and hope they will finally find their guy. Recently, reports have come out on which quarterback is expected to get the […]

Denver Broncos cornerback Champ Bailey’s career spanned 15 seasons, 226 games, 12 Pro Bowls and two conferences. During that time, he was always matched up against the oppositions’ best pass catchers. Bailey, who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Aug. 3, often handled these matchups with relative ease — a […]

The Denver Broncos made a lot of changes at the quarterback position this offseason. Trading for Joe Flacco made major news, as did drafting Drew Lock in the second round. However, something that many might not have noticed was that the Broncos also acquired Kevin Hogan. The reason it might have flown under the radar […]

John Elway has been searching for ways to bring the Denver Broncos back to being a contender in the NFL. Has the Hall of Fame quarterback done enough to finally say the Broncos are officially back? According to Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated, the Broncos are among a few teams who are “stuck in neutral.” […]

Tom Brady made abundantly clear last season that he’s still one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But even the most biased New England Patriots fans would have to admit that their quarterback, nearly two decades since he was drafted and firmly into his forties, is playing at a level decidedly below his peak. […]

Mark Davis is happy Pat Bowlen’s family is getting what they deserve from the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Yet, Davis – the owner of the Oakland Raiders – wishes other deserving families received the same courtesy. The Hall of Fame decided Tuesday that the family of Denver owner Pat Bowlen will receive his gold […]

John Elway and the Denver Broncos are itching to get back to the playoffs after missing the postseason in every year since their Super Bowl win in 2015. Things are exponentially different though for the team in the Mile High City. In 2015, Peyton Manning was on his last leg but managed to make plays […]

Bucking the trend of not giving out Hall of Fame gold jackets or rings to deceased members, former Denver Broncos majority owner Pat Bowlen will receive just that in spite of his passing last month, per 9News’ Mike Klis. Bowlen had been elected to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame right before […]

One of the storylines surrounding the Denver Broncos this off-season is how effective Emmanuel Sanders will be this upcoming season and when would he be ready to return. Sanders is still recovering from an Achilles injury that he suffered last season during a week 14 practice. Sanders said it “feels realistic” that he will be […]

The Denver Broncos have a revamped coaching staff, and with that makeover comes a brand new system. Because new head coach Vic Fangio is a defensive guy, the defense is going to be the main focus for the Broncos heading into 2019, and defensive coordinator Ed Donatell already loves the fit of defensive lineman Bradley […]

Vic Fangio wants to take something great and make it better. The Denver Broncos have used a 3-4 base defense since 2015, the season in which the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers in the Super Bowl. So, Denver’s new head coach is coming in and wanting to play a 3-4 — that in itself is […]

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay was one of the nicest stories in the NFL this past season, rushing for 1,037 yards and nine touchdowns while averaging 5.4 yards per carry during his rookie campaign en route to the Pro Bowl. The catch? Lindsay went undrafted last year. Lindsay, who played his collegiate football at […]
