Lots of tumult on the D-line. Warren balking at a re-worked contract, Nunnely retiring, & new coach helming a position on D for the 1st time — MaxBroncos (@MaxBroncos) May 14, 2012 Far be it for us to expand on the excellent Andrew Mason, but he was limited to 140 characters there. Let us also […]

The Denver Broncos and presumed starting defensive tackle Ty Warren aren’t seeing eye-to-eye. Warren signed a two-year deal with the Broncos as a free agent in 2011 after missing 2010 with a hip injury. A torn triceps in training camp left the Broncos without Warren in 2011. He’s the presumed starting nose tackle heading into […]

UPDATE (5/8/12, 11:00 a.m.):  The Broncos updated the two links (seen below) shortly after this article was posted.  Wolfe is now listed as a defensive tackle by the team. The Denver Broncos may not use Derek Wolfe — who was selected 36th overall in the 2012 NFL Draft — solely as a defensive tackle this […]

Defensive tackle Marcus Thomas appears to have finished his stint with the Denver Broncos.  The team announced new jersey numbers on Monday (rookie numbers here), and Thomas’ No. 79 was assigned to defensive lineman Jeremy Beal. Jacob Tamme — No. 84 Cornelius Ingram — No. 82 Tracy Porter — No. 21 Jeremy Beal — No. […]

The Denver Broncos and defensive tackle Marcus Thomas have not finalized their respective plans for the 2012 season, but the two sides have been talking.  Per ESPN‘s Josina Anderson, the Broncos have offered Thomas a one-year deal. Last month, Thomas took to Twitter to inform fans that he wanted to come back to Denver, going as […]

The Denver Broncos will release defensive tackle Ryan McBean on Monday, according to a Denver Post report.  McBean’s six-game performance enhancing drugs suspension likely played a part in Denver’s decision. The team rescinded McBean’s one-year tender after the four-year veteran did not agree to sign.  McBean (6-5, 305 lbs.), now an unrestricted free agent, recorded four sacks last season […]

It seems like we have this conversation every off-season. “On Denver’s roster, defensive tackle seems to be a big area of need, and the Broncos seemingly have done nothing about it,” commentators frequently write, rightfully so.  This off-season, the Broncos have already lost one defensive tackle (Brodrick Bunkley), and may be on the verge of […]

Brodrick Bunkley was perhaps the largest factor in the Denver Broncos‘ 2011 defensive turnaround, literally and figuratively. He won’t be a Denver Bronco in 2012. The freshly-suspended New Orleans Saints have signed Bunkley to a five-year deal worth $25 million, according to multiple reports. The Broncos will have to add DT depth in the draft […]

Could NFL teams — the Denver Broncos even? –  really tank the season for Andrew Luck? [ESPN] If you haven’t heard, Aaron Rodgers is pretty good. [Denver Post] Former teammate Jason Hunter can certainly attest to that. [Max Denver] The Broncos plan to mix up their defensive looks to try and slow down Rodgers’ air […]

The Denver Broncos receiving depth just took another hit. According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, slot receiver Eddie Royal will miss up to four weeks with a groin injury while “receiving” tight end Julius Thomas will also miss at least two weeks with a high ankle sprain. This leaves the Broncos with Eric […]
