Broncos Return to Dove Valley

Happy Bunny Day Folks (that’s Easter for those of you in Oakland)! :)

And as we all do our traditional egg coloring and hunting the Broncos will be trickling back into Denver from all over the world, readying themselves for the start of the official off-season workout program. This year, like most recent seasons, we will have a few new faces reporting to Dove Valley tomorrow and a few stalwarts noticeably missing.

I would imagine the story lines we’ll hear about in the coming weeks will include:

* Rod Smith spottings (Pretty much any news on Rod, but specifically: Will he be there as usual? How does he feel? retirement talk? etc)
* The results of Jay Cutler Camp (How Jay, Brandon & Tony thought their special off-season workouts turned out)
* The return of Ben Hamilton and Tom Nalen (How are they coming along after their injuries?)
* Speaking of returning, expect to see John Lynch on every channel (discussing his return for less pay to a Defense in major flux)
* Don’t be surprised if the local media jumps DJ Williams and begin asking about his ’eminent’ move to WILL
* More about the Bailey Brothers together at last (or… What we like to call SDPF — Standard Denver Post Fluff)
* Interviews with many of our new additions
* And finally… the big question… Will Nate Jackson continue blogging?

Here is a mostly complete listing of players we’ve added, lost and resigned. I’m sure I’ve missed some, but since Easter Church Services start in 15 minutes… this will have to do! :)

Enjoy!
