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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The Denver Broncos won’t be having an open competition for quarterback, according to team general manager John Elway. The Super Bowl winning former quarterback told TMZ that “Flacco’s the guy,” while walking to his car. Denver traded for Flacco in February, sending a fourth round pick to the Baltimore Ravens, who have found their quarterback […]

Longtime Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen passed away at the age of 75 last week after a lengthy bout with Alzheimer’s disease. With the Denver staple leaving behind an impressive legacy, former Broncos quarterback and current front office executive John Elway has yet to stop expressing his love for Bowlen. “You know other than my […]

Long-time Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen passed away at the age of 75 earlier this week, 35 years after he originally bought the Broncos franchise. During his time at the helm, Denver won three Super Bowl championships, two of which came with current general manager John Elway under center at quarterback during the 1997-98 and […]

Denver Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway is fine with quarterback Joe Flacco not mentoring rookie signal caller Drew Lock. Flacco created some controversy after his remarks about mentoring Lock on Monday, per Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio. I got so many things to worry about. I’m trying to go out […]

After the NFL Draft, Broncos general manager John Elway said quarterback Joe Flacco, who is 34 years old, was just coming into his prime heading into the 2019 season. That feeling allowed him to pass on selecting a quarterback in the first round. However, when Missouri’s Drew Lock — Elways’s top-ranked player at the position […]

One of the best players in Denver Broncos history Champ Bailey has never been afraid to speak his mind, even if it’s about other Broncos royalty and this time he has taken aim at John Elway. For the second time this month, Bailey has gone after Elway for his handling of the Chris Harris Jr. […]

The Denver Broncos did not plan on taking a quarterback in the first round of the draft. In fact, Peter King reports in his Football Morning In America column, if the Broncos hadn’t traded down with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, it would have been Michigan’s Devin Bush, not Iowa’s Noah Fant, putting on a […]

The Denver Broncos have definitely improved this offseason, especially on offense. With the AFC West franchise adding to its roster over the weekend, thanks to the 2019 NFL Draft, Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway appears to be quite happy with the team’s offseason thus far. In addition to adding veteran […]

In the immediate aftermath of Drew Lock’s Pro Day, the University of Missouri quarterback had as much momentum as any prospect in the 2019 draft class. Originally considered a second or third-round selection, Lock was suddenly being discussed as a potential top-10 pick  and the second quarterback to come off the board behind Oklahoma’s Kyler […]

You would think that if the Denver Broncos weren’t planning on keeping Chris Harris long term that they would have drafted a cornerback sometime within the first three rounds of the NFL Draft. They haven’t done that, which is an indication that Harris may be sticking around after all. Harris is currently embroiled in a […]

The Denver Broncos made a bit of a splash with the selection of former Missouri quarterback Drew Lock. General manager John Elway has made it clear that he will be the successor to quarterback Joe Flacco. The Broncos have now answered all speculation about their future plans under center this offseason. According to Charean Williams […]

Noah Fant will bring an explosive element to the tight end position the Broncos have not had in some time. Denver traded down from the 10th overall pick to the 20th to make the selection, one that was still seen as a great value by the team’s decision makers. “Well from 10 to 20, there […]

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris has not yet reported to the team’s workouts as a result of a contract dispute with the front office. Of course, the current workouts are voluntary, so Harris wouldn’t have to be there even if he wasn’t looking for a new deal, but his absence seems to be more about […]

The Denver Broncos desperately need a winning season in 2019. After Peyton Manning’s retirement, the once proud franchise has gone downhill in a hurry, and they’ve now missed the playoffs three straight seasons. They fired Vance Joseph after last year, and are looking to start fresh with Vic Fangio. If they want to turn things […]

Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris wants a new contract, and he is not working out with the team as a result. But just because Harris wants a new deal does not mean he will get one. Broncos general manager John Elway says that Denver will talk to Harris about an extension after the draft, but […]

Missouri Tigers quarterback Drew Lock was very young when Denver Broncos general manager John Elway hung up the cleats but he has still seen a lot of his play and has a ton of respect for the former Hall of Fame quarterback. Lock met with Elway at the team facility during the pre-draft process and […]

It’s more accurate to call Joe Flacco the Denver Broncos’ quarterback of the present rather than quarterback of the future. At 34, Flacco is clearly on the downside of his career, years removed from a playing peak that wasn’t all that high to begin with. It’s not like Denver paid a heavy price in February […]

The Denver Broncos have a pivotal offseason ahead of them. They have long been known as one of the top organizations in the league, but their reputation has taken a hit in recent years with rampant dysfunction. They fired Vance Joseph after back-to-back losing seasons, and are rolling with Vic Fangio to usher them into […]

Many experts have weighed in on the Denver Broncos’ moves in this year’s free agency, and the results have been somewhat polarizing. Last season, the Broncos finished with a losing record for the second consecutive year. This hasn’t happened to the decorated franchise since 1971-72. General Manager John Elway is still finding it hard for […]

Former Denver Broncos offensive lineman Matt Paradis signed a multi-year deal with the Carolina Panthers last week, marking the end of his five-year tenure with the Broncos. Denver president John Elway says that the Broncos really didn’t want to see Paradis go elsewhere, but that his ankle issues were too concerning to ignore: “I think […]

Denver Broncos president John Elway has drawn a lot of criticism for his inability to find a quarterback since Peyton Manning retired following a Super Bowl win during the 2015-16 campaign, and he didn’t do much to assuage his critics when he traded for Joe Flacco last month. At 34 years old, Flacco is clearly […]

New Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco is at anything but the peak of his career, as he is coming off of a 2018 campaign with the Baltimore Ravens in which he lost his starting job to rookie signal-caller Lamar Jackson midway through the season. However, Broncos president John Elway feels that Flacco, who is now […]

In an offseason that has so far been defined by huge moves, the Denver Broncos, according to John Elway, the team’s general manager and president of football operations, are remaining patient. According to James Palmer of the NFL Network, Elway told him the prices on players are too high for them, and they’ll wait to […]

Earlier this offseason, the Denver Broncos traded for Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, a move that drew harsh criticism from fans and the media due to Flacco’s age and eroding skills. However, Broncos president John Elway says that it’s not just about numbers with Flacco; it’s about wins: “The one stat that matters – has […]

The Denver Broncos did not reach the postseason as a result of the 2018-19 campaign. However, the AFC West franchise has already gotten off to a red-hot start this offseason upon acquiring former Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco. With Flacco now slated to serve as the Broncos quarterback for at least the 2019-20 season, the […]

At the NFL combine, plenty of players are constantly asked where they would like to play in the NFL. The Denver Broncos found someone in Greg Little who seems he’d be ecstatic to join their team. According to Zack Kelberman of 247Sports, Little said it would be an “honor” to be drafted by the Broncos. […]

The Denver Broncos acquired Joe Flacco in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens earlier this month, but that does not necessarily mean they are going to show Case Keenum the door. Broncos president of football operations John Elway told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the Broncos “would love to have” Keenum back for 2019, an indication […]

The Denver Broncos seem to have found their quarterback, acquiring Joe Flacco in a trade with the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday. In exchange, the Broncos sent the Ravens a fourth-round draft pick for Flacco’s services. While many have criticized general manager John Elway for the move, questioning why he would add a 34-year-old signal-caller who […]

Now that Kyler Murray has made clear that he plans to move from baseball into football, John Elway should consider recruiting him for the Broncos. According to the Denver Post, Murray is considered one of the top draft prospects for the 2019 NFL Draft, and for good reason. He would be guaranteed at least $18 […]

In spite of Denver Broncos general manager John Elway recently stating that the team is open to trading star linebacker Von Miller and Miller’s mother ripping Elway for it, Miller insists that the relationship between him, his mother and Elway is just fine. “Everything is good,” Miller said on Pro Football Talk Live on Thursday. […]

Former Missouri Tigers quarterback and current NFL Draft prospect Drew Lock has a ton of talent — there’s no doubt about that. However, the question now remains, where will the coveted signal caller end up on “Draft Day?” It appears as though the Denver Broncos could be a likely destination, according to the Denver Post. […]

At this point, the general consensus is that New England Patriots signal-caller Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all-time. The man has won five Super Bowls (which is already more than any other quarterback in NFL history) and will have the opportunity to win his sixth on Feb. 3 when the Patriots take on […]

In the NFC Championship Game, the referees blew a call that should’ve been reversed. However, the NFL doesn’t have a policy that reviews no-calls. Pass interference can’t be reviewed every single possession. Much like how Major League Baseball doesn’t have replay for strikes and balls, the league knows that P.I. is an imperfect penalty and […]

John Elway feels he messed up, and big time. Throughout the course of his career, Elway has hired four coaches and fired two. He told NBC Sports, however, that his last hire before his latest one was a huge mistake. “I talked to [Vance Joseph] before the process a couple of years ago [when hiring […]
