The overhaul wasn’t complete, as another transaction has just been made to potentially finalize Denver’s QB room. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Broncos have released veteran QB Ben DiNucci after spending last season on the practice squad in Denve ..read more

(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images)   Back in the 1970s and 1980s, the Denver Broncos fought hard to prove they belonged among the NFL’s elite. They were one of the AFL teams the NFL absorbed in the merger, and in the 1970s, they eventually became a very good team on the strength of their defense. The architect of that defense was longtime defensive coordinator Joe Collier, and on Monday night, he passed away at his home in the Denver area, per Adam Schefter. The Denver Broncos announced the passing of former defensive coordinator Joe Collier, who died Monday night at his home in Littl ..read more

(Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)   After pulling the plug on their two-year experiment with Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos took University of Oregon quarterback Bo Nix with the No. 12 pick in the NFL Draft just days ago. Just about everyone considered Nix one of the top-six QB prospects in a draft class that is stacked with them, but many have their doubts about him. One criticism he has received is that despite putting up impressive numbers with the Ducks, he cannot really succeed on intermediate-to-long-range throws. But Nix responded to that criticism and told those critics t ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Denver Broncos always wanted to get Bo Nix, or so they claim. For weeks, reports stated that they were desperately trying to trade up to get J.J. McCarthy. Nonetheless, it now seems like they were leaking fake intel, so no one tried to steal Nix away from them. Now, a report by Zac Stevens of DNVR.com claims that, in order to prevent their actual plans from leaking, they didn’t sort their draft board by preference. In order to keep their QB preference a secret, the Broncos' draft board in the draft room was not in order of preference, instead ..read more

(Photo by Ian Johnson/Icon Sportswire)   Today is either a special day or a sad depending on how Broncos fans are feeling. 25 years ago, legendary quarterback John Elway hung up his cleats after 16 fantastic seasons playing for the Broncos. He would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2004. When John Elway officially retired 25 years ago today, he ranked second all-time in: Passing yards (51,475) and completions (4,123) He ranked third all-time in passing touchdowns (300) — Zac Stevens (@ZacStevensDNVR) May 2, 2024 The greatest player in franchise history holds plenty of t ..read more

(Photo by Elsa/Getty Images)   The Denver Broncos made a somewhat surprising decision when they traded for Zach Wilson. They were in the mix to get a quarterback in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so it didn’t make much sense for them to have another backup, especially with his salary. Perhaps they thought they could still salvage his career, or maybe they wanted an insurance policy in case they couldn’t get their hands on any of the top-notch QB prospects. But now that they have Bo Nix, it didn’t make much sense to hold onto Wilson. That’s why it wasn’t much of a surprise to see J ..read more

(Photo by Matthew Stockman/Getty Images)   More often than not, the NFL Draft works just like economics. It’s a matter of supply and demand, and players can become more valuable depending on how many teams want or need them. That’s why the 2024 NFL Draft saw several quarterbacks going ahead of where they would’ve gone on a big board or in any other edition, as multiple teams were in desperate need of a signal-caller. Notably, that includes Bo Nix. Despite being touted as a late first-round pick, the Denver Broncos took him with the No. 12 selection, as the Las Vegas Raiders also needed a ..read more

(Photo by Michael Hickey/Getty Images)   The Denver Broncos got their guy. According to Sean Payton, they were always high on Bo Nix, and while they created some smoke about potentially trading up, he was who they wanted all along. Nix had also talked about how honored he’d be to get an opportunity to play for Coach Payton, and that it’s a dream come true for him. The former Auburn and Oregon QB has the utmost confidence in his abilities, and he made sure everybody in the organization felt that same way. That’s why, as soon as he got a chance to talk to them when they took him in the firs ..read more

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)   It was no secret that the Denver Broncos were in dire need of a quarterback heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, so it wasn’t the least bit surprising when they selected Oregon QB Bo Nix with the 12th overall pick. Head coach Sean Payton finally spoke about the pick and shed some insight into the thought process that went into making Nix the franchise’s next QB. DNVR beat reporter Zac Stevens shared a quote from Payton, where he said “We could have moved a couple picks back and got some picks, but at the end of the day, this was our guy. Let’s just take him ..read more

(Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images)   Part of being in the NFL means sometimes trying to tell a fib in order to get to where you want to be. In the case of the NFL Draft, some teams put up smokescreens in an effort to get the player they want. The Denver Broncos apparently did that in the first round on Thursday night in their efforts to grab Oregon quarterback Bo Nix at No. 12 overall, according to head coach Sean Payton. “I was actively involved in trying to pretend we were moving forward,” Payton said to the Denver media Friday. Sean Payton suggests that he baited the #Vikings into ..read more
