It was more of the same in Broncos camp Monday. Brandon Marshall‘s agent met with the front office again to request a new contract for his client. They were denied.

Is the national media really recognizing and praising the Denver Broncos offensive line? Nah, it couldn’t be, not after Ryan Clady was robbed of last year’s Pro Bowl and still has a Madden player rating lower than Jake Long‘s. Don’t look now, but that’s exactly what ESPN has done, ranking all 32 teams’ offensive lines […]
