As a friend recently reminded us on Twitter, in Broncos Country, Josh McDaniels‘ surname is a four-letter word. The sound “McDaniels” is fingernails on the chalkboard, a teeth-clinching, shoulder-buckling, neck-hairs-standing-on-end reminder of the worst two-year period in franchise history. Four digits that claw at the brain with nearly the same intensity are 2-0-0-9: McDaniels’ first draft class […]

Two years after becoming one of the first controversial draft choices of the Josh McDaniels era, tight end Richard Quinn is no longer a Denver Bronco. The Broncos reached an injury settlement with the third-year player and waived him from their injured reserve list Friday, the team announced on Twitter. The settlement voids Quinn’s contract, […]

Updating a story from yesterday, tight end Richard Quinn cleared waivers unclaimed and has been placed on the Broncos‘ injured reserve list, the team announced on Twitter. Quinn’s season is over; his career as a Bronco is in danger, but he still has next offseason to turn some heads.

The Denver Broncos aren’t betting on tight end Richard Quinn recovering from his knee injury this year. The 2009 2nd round draft pick has been waived, the team announced Monday. If Quinn clears waivers, he will be placed on the Broncos’ injured reserve, ending his season. The Denver Post details the lack of success the […]

Broncos Head Coach John Fox has yet to sign a free agent who played under him in Carolina.  That may change this evening. Former Carolina Panthers tight end Dante Rosario is scheduled to meet with the team Sunday night, reports Mike Klis of the Denver Post.  Rosario is an athletic receiver at tight end and was drafted by […]

Personally, I’ve never been a big fan of mock drafts because (a) after the first 10 picks it’s hard to predict who will pick who, which in effect makes it nearly impossible to predict who will be available where, and (b) because it is absolutely impossible to foresee and predict draft day trades. Thus, this is […]

A couple of surprises in the Denver Broncos 2010 depth chart the team just released. Offense: Position First Second Third Other Quarterback Kyle Orton Brady Quinn Tim Tebow Full Back Spencer Larsen Running Back Knowshon Moreno Correll Buckhalter Lance Ball Andre Brown WR 1 Brandon Lloyd Demaryius Thomas WR 2 Eddie Royal Eric Decker WR […]

Can you name Denver’s #2 receiver so far this preseason? Don’t look now, but it’s upstart Marquez Branson.  (You totally cheated and looked at the picture, didn’t you?) That’s right, the undrafted free agent tight end from 2009.  So far Branson has put up 45 yards and one touchdown in the first two pre-season games.  […]

Kyle Orton didn’t know what was happening, but he was suddenly losing the focus of his teammates on the field. Blue and white jerseys were suddenly taking flight around him.  It took the quarterback a few moments, but he finally caught on — an ice cream truck had driven onto the field, and his teammates […]

Fresh cut grass, morning mist, shouting in the distance from someone, the sunlight burning your pupils, the smell of blood, everything blurry and tinted yellow. Then, a crowd, a crowd that got here even earlier than you. They’re here just to see you… And you just got your first glance of them. Training camp. This […]
