Denver Broncos blog, news and rumors

The Denver Broncos have refused to sign an overpaid, aging, past-his-prime defensive tackle in free agency this offseason, and passed up on Seattle’s young Brandon Mebane (who was relatively cheap).  As a result, the team has a gaping hole on the depth chart smack in the middle of Denver’s 4-3 defense.

The hits keep on coming. It appears the Kyle Orton trade has fallen through.  The Broncos didn’t accept the Dolphins offer and now Miami has moved on.  With few other teams in need of a quarterback willing to accommodate Denver’s demands, the Broncos are now stuck with Orton.  There’s a chance that they don’t mind.  Maybe that […]
