Bo Nix will never have to ask Sean Payton the famous refrain bellowed by The Contours - everything the Broncos did both in the lead-up to the NFL Draft and during the three-day event shows how much they love their new quarterback. It all started with a 999-mile flight from Denver to Eugene, Oregon where Payton met Nix in person for a private workout. The goal was not merely to see Nix through, however - Payton wanted to put some pressure on his potential quarterback. "The night before, 5:00 p.m., we emailed the test," said Payton. "Quite a bit to study, it's almost purposefully a little bit mo ..read more

DETROIT, Mich. Deliverance, thy name is Bo. Hopefully. With the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Oregon quarterback Bo Nix. And thus the die was cast for the future of this franchise. Sean Payton clearly believes he's the quarterback of the future for Denver, and so did everyone else. This was the worst kept secret in football, apparently. Maybe Payton saw a little Drew Brees in Nix's game. "Athletic. Drew. Brees," posited NFL Network analyst Michael Robinson when asked to describe Nix in three words. Nix also stands a full two inches taller than Brees, but ..read more

DETROIT, Mich. The answer to Denver's decades-long doldrums can be found in the 2024 NFL Draft. However, the solution is not dispensing future assets to trade up for the manager of a run-first program. Nor is it found in the beak of a former Oregon Duck who only quacks believe can turn into Drew Brees. Michael Penix Jr. is the Broncos' savior. The only remaining question is if head coach Sean Payton and general manager George Paton have orchestrated the draft process to land the Washington slinger. Penix's arm talent is second to only Caleb Williams, who is destined to be the No. 1 overall pic ..read more

DENVER Pat Surtain II is staying in Denver for (at least) one more year. The Denver Broncos on Tuesday announced they will be exercising their fifth-year option on the star cornerback. In only his third season, Surtain, 24, has emerged as the teams biggest star, earning Pro Bowl honors for his second straight year after earning an NFL All-Pro selection in 2022. Charged with facing a teams top receiver, Surtain put in his best work against the likes of Stephon Diggs, Garrett Wilson and Amari Cooper. The cornerback creates flexibility for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, allowing him to take ..read more

The Denver Broncos have acquired quarterback Zach Wilson from the New York Jets, according to a report by NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. According to that report, Denver will swap a sixth-round draft pick for New Yorks seventh-round selection. The Jets will also foot the bill for part of Wilsons 2024-25 salary. He is owed $5.453 million next year as part of the 4-year, $35 million contract he signed with the Jets after being drafted second overall in 2021. Wilson, a product of BYU, has not lived up to the hype as a top pick in the draft three years ago. He logged a 12-21 record as the start ..read more

The Denver Broncos on Monday unveiled the team's new uniforms for the 2024-25 season, including a 1977 throwback set complete with the iconic "D" logo. "Broncos Country, you've been waiting for this," the team wrote on the social media site X when sharing a video introducing the vintage uniform. The main set of new threads feature tweaks to the piping on the sleeves and pants, a bold, modern font and a "5280" prominently displayed on the front of the helmet and on the inner neckline a nod, of course, to the Mile High City. The team is calling the new set of colors sunset orange, summit white a ..read more

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) Yes, the Denver Broncos are in the market for a quarterback heading into the NFL draft. But they have such a lack of depth on their roster that the Broncos could go in any direction. They have dire needs at tight end, tackle, edge rusher, cornerback and quarterback. This lack of depth was due in large part to the premium picks they gave up to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson and head coach Sean Payton. That pairing lasted just one year and the Broncos moved on from Wilson this offseason. That decision carries a hefty price tag for the Broncos. Broncos plan to release QB ..read more

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Denver Broncos are signing free agent wide receiver Josh Reynolds to a two-year deal worth up to $14 million. Reynolds caught 40 passes for 608 yards and five touchdowns last season for the Detroit Lions. The Broncos are busy retooling their offense this offseason and recently traded away former first-round receiver Jerry Jeudy ..read more

Expect to see more kickoff returns in the NFL. Team owners on Tuesday approved a new rule that will take what essentially had become a dead play and make it an integral part of the game again, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the league hasn't announced the change. The major overhaul to special teams which has been in the works for years takes elements of the kickoff rules used in the XFL and tweaks them for use in the NFL beginning in 2024. The rule will be in play for one season on a trial basis and th ..read more

The Denver Broncos on Monday teased new uniforms for the 2024-25 season, with the teams president promising a full redesign that will be unveiled in the coming weeks. The new uniforms will feature the same logo and colors, according to Broncos president Damani Leech. Beyond that, the teams announcement on social media gave little away about the new look. The new uniforms come after the Broncos surveyed thousands of fans and solicited feedback from a small group of players on the design, Leech said. Fans can expect a familiar look, and maybe even a nod to the mountains to Denver's west. Wanting ..read more
