Josh McDaniels inherited a number of messes when he became Denver Broncos head coach, but perhaps none were as dramatic as the amount of “dead money” on the Broncos salary cap. Denver led the league — by a number of degrees — with $29.5 million in dead cap money in 2009. One year later, consider […]

Broncos greats Terrell Davis and Steve Atwater are “interning” with Mike Shanahan in Washington.  Warning: some of these images are disturbing. Champ Bailey is firmly rooted in Josh McDaniels‘ corner. Woody Paige, trying to dethrone Kyle Orton as starting quarterback?  Nooo…. Wednesday p.m. practice report: Brandon Stokley continues to shine, and LB Joe Mays earns […]

“The past is behind, learn from it. The future is ahead, prepare for it.” The situation the Broncos had in 2006 (with Jake Plummer the starter and Jay Cutler the promising rookie) is very different than the Broncos current situation (with Kyle Orton the starter, and Quinn and Tebow chomping at the bits to play). […]

I wrote an article a few months back before the Marshall trade that detailed my lack luster judgement when it comes to purchasing jerseys. The basic gist is that every player whose jersey I bought has been let go or traded (or retired, damn you Plummer). Every single purchase. It is obvious that I am not capable […]

Throughout the history of the NFL there have been players who want to be traded so they can get a long term and lucrative contract. Josh McDaniels would know. However this is not the case with Albert Haynesworth. Apparently the $21 million he collected on April 1st is just a gift from the Redskins, because […]

In a move that’s not going to be news to most fans, the Indianapolis Colts have signed former Denver Broncos quarterback Tom Brandstater. What does this mean and why would a quarterback, of all the draftable positions, not be good enough for the Broncos, but good enough for the Colts? Yes, I know, the Colts […]

This fall, as football gets underway, there is one contest I will be watching very closely. No, I’m not talking about Kyle vs Brady vs Tim (although I’ve now publicly admitted my man-crush on Tebow). No, I’m not talking about WR or Safety or TE. I’m talking about the virtual race between McDaniels and Shanahan […]

Most thought it would be Elvis Dumervil to be the first restricted free agent in Denver to get a new deal, but guard Chris Kuper beat him to the punch. The Denver Broncos have just announced that Kuper and the team agreed to terms on a six-year contract that will keep the starting guard in […]

Is it better to be too offensive or too defensive? It’s been said that defense wins championships, I’ve been known to agree to that, but offense wins games. It wasn’t often the lack of defense that killed the Denver Broncos last season, it was usually the lack of offense. The defense deserves most of the […]

Something that I neglected to cover yesterday is that Mike Shanahan stated Thursday that Brian Westbrook‘s decision was, coming soon. Shanahan chose words carefully stating, “I’m sure he’s looking at his options. We’ll find out in the near future what happens there.” Prior to that he did make it as if it was the Washington […]
