We’ll start with the starters at each position, since they remain unchanged from last year. Sadly, it also looks like the Denver Broncos were unable to improve their depth situation along the line. The health of the starters is going to be huge for the 2012 NFL Season and especially so for Peyton Manning. Ryan […]

The Denver Broncos finished forming their practice squad on Monday by signing rookie center Quintin Saulsberry (6-3, 305 lbs.), who went to camp with the Vikings this summer. Undrafted out of Mississippi State, Saulsberry is expected to earn $96,900 if he stays with the team for the entirety of the season. Saulsberry completes a practice […]

When veteran safety Jim Leonhard (5-8, 188 lbs.) arrived in Denver, his jersey number of choice—No. 36—was already taken. With no complaints, Leonhard went with No. 45 as an alternative. A month after signing and three weeks after becoming healthy again, Leonhard survived roster cuts and is currently listed as the second free safety on […]

We reported earlier (and due to a stupid technical mistake on my part, that story just published) that three Denver Broncos players landed on other NFL rosters or practice squads since Cut Day Friday. Add a fourth to the list. Cornerback Drayton Florence, the biggest surprise among the Broncos’ cuts, has signed with the Detroit […]

The Road to 53 is never an easy one for coaches and team executives, but maybe John Elway and John Fox can sleep a little easier knowing a handful of the players they cut have landed elsewhere in the NFL. Safety Rafael Bush has landed on the 53-man roster of the New Orleans Saints, while […]

The tight end position was a position of emphasis this offseason for the Denver Broncos. I am excited to see how this all plays out, but the roll could be to push for more threats in the red zone – an area that was unkind to the Broncos until Tim Tebow took the reins of […]

I was surprised the Denver Broncos only kept five wide receivers on the active roster, but they kept four tight ends, so they must feel really good about the guys they kept or they plan to use a lot of two tight end sets. Either way, I found none of the five wide receivers a […]

The depth at running back was a pleasant thing this offseason. I was disappointed that Xavier Omon wasn’t able to make a push for the roster, but I felt that Knowshon Moreno and his guaranteed money would be a major factor at the back end of the roster at running back. Jeremiah Johnson, I thought, […]
