That was on full display for the world to see Thursday morning at 11:15 a.m. after Fox Sports analyst Geoff Schwartz gave his opinion on Nix. “I do think he just is what he is at this point. He looks like the same quarterback he was in college,” Schwartz said on Fox Sports, which circulated on X. “He’s consistent. He’s not gonna make mistakes. But he’s not gonna push the ball down the field all that often.” Nix’s head coach clearly disagreed, responding on Thursday morning by taking a simple dig at Schwartz, saying, “Alw…

Sometimes, when it comes to the preseason, not playing sends the biggest message.Denver Broncos rookie running back Jonah Coleman appeared to get that message loud and clear from the coaching staff by being held out of Friday’s preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings — a sure sign there is a bigger plan for him in the offense moving forward.The biggest clue Coleman wasn’t playing as he signed autographs for fans at Empower Field at Mile High shortly before the game and was confirmed as Coleman and fellow running backs J.K.

Broncos linebacker Drew Sanders entered the NFL with as high of expectations as a third-round selection could have. Many considered him a first- or second-round pick, and the overwhelming belief was that Denver landed a steal at the top of round three.Unfortunately, injuries have cost him significant playing time and stunted his development along the way. He appeared in only 21 games over his first three seasons and has only four starts over that span. With him playing in only four games since his rookie season, the 24-year-old hasn’t had a chance to build any momentum.Sanders is still a compl…

Tonight the Denver Broncos play their last preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Mountain Time. The score isn’t important in this game.

That won’t be an easy task for Paton because Denver’s roster is loaded with talent. The GM will have to choose whether or not to keep three quarterbacks on the active roster. Bo Nix is the team’s leader, and he is backed up by Jarrett Stidham, but trying to risk squeezing Sam Ehlinger onto the practice squad could lead to another team scooping him up. Paton also has to manage the off-ball linebacker and edge rusher spots. In…

Head coach Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos will not play Bo Nix in the preseason finale, feeling good about where he is after just one drive this preseason. However, where Nix is as a player remains a hot-button issue. It was a topic of discussion for former Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Geoff Schwartz and ex-New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini.

The Denver Broncos are looking to head into the new season on a positive note as they take on the Minnesota Vikings in their preseason finale on Friday at Empower Field at Mile High. The Broncos split their first two preseason assignments against the New England Patriots and the Atlanta Falcons.

The Denver Broncos are putting a significant piece of their offense in Davis Webb’s hands this season, and Courtland Sutton says there is a reason players have bought into their new play-caller. Sutton offered a revealing endorsement of Webb ahead of Denver’s preseason finale, describing the 31-year-old offensive coordinator as “one of the boys” while explaining that Webb’s ability to relate to players does not prevent him from holding them accountable. “That’s the part that allows everyone to go out there and want to go play for him,” Sutton told reporters. The comments carry added weight in…

Speaking after Wednesday’s practice, head coach Sean Payton provided an update on Rapp, saying the now-free-agent is dealing with personal issues and “needs some time at home.” However, Payton added that there is a “better-than-good chance” Rapp will return and re-sign with the team at some point.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has made his final decision on quarterback Bo Nix. More specifically, Payton has determined what he feels is the best approach for Nix and the Broncos’ starters in their preseason finale against the Minnesota Vikings. “We’ll see. Do I talk to you guys tomorrow?” Payton asked media members before being told he would not, adding, “All right, he probably won’t play in this game, all right?

Jake Plummer knows all about succeeding as the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos. The former longtime NFL quarterback led the Broncos to three consecutive playoff appearances (2003-2005) and an AFC Championship Game appearance during his time as Denver’s starting quarterback. Plummer succeeded at a time when the pressure was intense as the franchise’s second starting quarterback in the post-John Elway era. As a Pro Bowl quarterback in 2005, Plummer and the Broncos handed the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots their first postseason loss in the Bra era. Fast forward two decades later a…

The Denver Broncos got a quick look at Super Bowl champion safety Taylor Rapp and didn’t like what they saw, cutting the former starter for both the Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams as part of a flurry of roster moves on Wednesday. “The Broncos are making a couple roster moves ahead of their third preseason game, signing DT Israel Antwine and T Foster Sarell, per source,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport wrote on his official X account on Wednesday. “Newly signed safety Taylor Rapp was released and WR Kyre Duplessis was waived.” Rapp started all 17 games for the Rams in 2021 on the way to a Super…

If you've ever felt like your pigs in a blanket aren't big enough, don't worry; Empower Field at Mile High has you covered.

The Denver Broncos have a deep roster with few weaknesses across the board. Their offensive line is one of the best in the NFL, and Jaylen Waddle’s addition made the receiving corps much deeper. Defensively, the team racked up 68 sacks last season, which is the fifth most ever. That illustrates not only an elite front seven that can get after opposing quarterbacks, but a star-studded defensive secondary that prevents receivers from getting open. The point is, the Broncos are going to have talent top to bottom when they settle in on their 53-man roster, and some really good players aren’t going…

The discussion around the Denver Broncos when it comes to their 53-man roster is 1 that most teams would love to have right now — every player on the bubble seems like someone who would easily make another team’s roster. Nowhere on the Broncos’ roster is that battle more pronounced than at inside linebacker, where a mega-difficult decision awaits with a pair of rookies in 7th-round pick Red Murdock and undrafted free agent Taurean York. Both Mile High Report and ESPN have Murdock getting that spot in their 53-man roster predictions, but York has handled himself like an NFL linebacker since he…

This offseason, the Broncos brought in Waddle via a trade with the Dolphins to become that top guy for the team. If it works out, Waddle will get his permanent time as the most-targeted receiver, and Nix could find his elite receiver that racks up easier yards for the both of them.

There aren’t many weaknesses on the Denver Broncos’ roster. Last year, the team went 14-3 to earn the one-seed in the AFC. The team found success because their defense was one of the best in recent memory, but the offense also accomplished plenty with a dominant offensive line and a quarterback who perfectly fits the system. In the offseason, the team got even better when it comes to offensive weapons.

Are the Bears getting too much hype? Did the Panthers and Jaguars overachieve last season? And will the Broncos and Patriots come up short of expectations this season?

The Denver Broncos are hoping that their success last year will translate this season. Denver’s run to the AFC Championship Game was built primarily on the backs of their incredible defense. In contrast, their offense was… questionable at times. It was never atrociously bad, but it was a bit prone to bouts of inconsistency. Many of these issues stemmed from Bo Nix’s growing pains at quarterback. Now in his third year in the league, there are a lot of expectations placed on Nix’s wide shoulders. The Broncos quarterback seems up for the task, and he’s hoping that slowing the pace down and being…

Denver Broncos cornerback Riley Moss left the team's preseason game with a rib injury, but the latest reports bring some good news.

Nix's mobility and sack avoidance have led to success, but the Broncos think slowing him down and getting his footwork right could produce more big plays.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Not enough is being made about the leap Denver Broncos‘ quarterback Bo Nix can make in his third year in the NFL, according to one of his fellow captains. “Everyone wants to talk about like a sophomore year [jump], he’s like in his junior year. You know what I mean,” Alex Singleton stated following practice on Monday, talking about his quarterback. “It feels like he’s been here for a decade. It feels like he’s been here the whole five years I’ve been here. But he hasn’t. The way he’s just developed, he just takes an extra step or two every offseason. And he’s done that again…

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton gave some positive news on Monday after practice when he shared news about the injury to cornerback Riley Moss. Moss originally picked up a rib injury during Friday’s preseason loss to the Green Bay Packers, and consequently did not practice on Monday.

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix might not have received a full complement of snaps against the Packers, but he received enough to make a positive impression. It took Nix only two-and-a-half minutes to lead Denver on a six-play, 65-yard drive to tie the game at 7 early on. He also played the second drive (which resulted in a field goal) and finished the game going 6/9 for 76 yards and one passing TD. He looked comfortable, sharp, and most importantly, healthy. NFL Network’s Manti Teʻo couldn’t deny how impressive the Broncos star QB looked in the bite-sized showing. “You start to see Sean [Payton] t…

For the second consecutive year, cornerback Pat Surtain II has earned a spot among the top 10 players in the NFL.

Perhaps the biggest problem the Denver Broncos are facing headed into the regular season is that they have too much talent and not enough roster cuts — an emotional process that could see several talented defensive players given their walking papers. While those players will likely find new homes almost instantly, it still stings, and ESPN’s Jeff Legwold has the Broncos predicted to part ways with a pair of talented pass rushers in his latest 53-man roster projections — edge rusher Dondrea Tillman and interior defensive lineman Sai’vion Jones are the ones left on the outside looking in. “In th…

The Denver Broncos are about to stare down a problem only the NFL’s elite franchises are fortunate enough to have — too much talent and not enough money to go around. That problem is going to be particularly pronounced in the secondary following the 2026 season, when the Broncos face some impossibly tough decisions. Spotrac’s Michael Ginnitti put Broncos safety Brandon Jones at the top of his list of 2027 “free agents of consequence” as he heads into the final season of a 3-year, $20 million contract in 2026. It’s no coincidence the Broncos’ defense became elite once Jones came on board as a f…

The Denver Broncos previously built momentum with an impressive eight-game exhibition winning streak dating back to 2023, highlighted by a dominant 27-7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

However, that winning streak came to an abrupt end, and Payton did not hold back in criticizing his team’s sloppy and undisciplined performance. After the frustrating exhibition defeat, Payton de…

It took all of one game, and not even a full one, for Jaylen Waddle to show why the Denver Broncos acquired him in a trade with the Miami Dolphins, surrendering their first-round draft pick in the process. Waddle caught just one pass. He was only targeted once during the contest, but it was for a big gain and a highlight in a disappointing tilt.

Harvey led all rookies with 12 total touchdowns in 2025.

Receivers at the NFL level play with a certain level of confidence and swagger. It is the nature of the position, and because of that, pass catchers are often hesitant to show any sort of respect to their arch-rivals; players at the cornerback position. Ja’Marr Chase is one of the best receivers in the NFL. The Cincinnati Bengals star has 520 catches for 6,837 yards and 54 touchdowns through five seasons, all of which he earned a Pro Bowl nod for. Chase even led the NFL in receptions (127) and receiving yards (1,708) in 2024. Joe Burrow’s favorite target wasn’t afraid to give some of the top c…

With JK Dobbins displaying confidence for the Denver Broncos and his happiness with head coach Sean Payton, things looked rosy. However, Dobbins’ training camp injury will give fans unwanted deja vu, according to a post on X by Zac Stevens. “Soft tissue,” Payton said. “I think he’s gonna be fine. We’re just being smart with it.” A five-year NFL veteran, Dobbins missed all of the 2021 season with an injury. He left the Ravens for the Chargers in 2024. Last year, he played for the Broncos, totaling 772 yards and four scores in 10 games played. Will Broncos RB JK Dobbins be able to beat injuries?…

A Broncos defender has returned to practice.

The Broncos’ Thunder program is set to continue in 2026 and beyond, as the Broncos carry on the legacy and tradition.

The Denver Broncos made strides last season that helped them get all the way to the AFC Championship Game, and they’re looking to recapture that success. As much as the defense deserves praise for how their season went, the offense held its own and was consistent throughout the year. This season, there will be some slight changes to the offense, and it all won’t happen on the field. Sean Payton has given the playcalling duties to Davis Webb and has the ultimate belief that they’ll continue to be successful on that side of the ball. “I know that he’s going to be quick in and out. And then thing…

Plus, rookie inside linebacker Red Murdock has "his best two days" of training camp, and safety Brandon Jones explains his thoughts as he attempted kicks on Saturday.

“This training camp has been very competitive,” Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph said following Saturday’s practice. “It’s gone back and forth. ... That’s a good sign for our team.”

Denver has added a pair of players to its roster.

The Denver Broncos may have found another dangerous element in Bo Nix’s game, and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph’s latest admission should have the rest of the NFL paying attention. During training camp, Joseph praised how Nix has improved as a deep passer. He pointed out that this skill could help take Denver’s offense to the next level. “His deep ball touch has been really off the charts in training camp,” Joseph said, according to Broncos lead writer Aric DiLalla. Joseph joked that, as a defensive coordinator, he doesn’t like giving up big plays. Still, he knows how important those play…

Training camp is underway as the Denver Broncos prepare for the 2026-27 season, with hopes for an even deeper playoff run this year. While the postseason is still very much in play for the franchise, the team lost a depth defensive lineman for the upcoming campaign on Friday. Reports indicate that Matt Henningsen tore his Achilles at practice, according to Mike Klis of 9News. This is the second straight offseason Henningsen has suffered this severe injury, as he tore his Achilles at about the same time last year. “Devastating news: Broncos DL Matt Henningsen suffered a torn Achilles today per…

Sean Payton left early to head to Canton, Ohio, for the Hall of Fame Class of 2026 induction ceremony, as he'll introduce his former quarterback, Drew Brees.

Quarterback Bo Nix led a go-ahead drive to close out Friday’s practice.

In his lone season at Delaware, Duplessis earned 2025 first-team All-Conference USA honors and caught 60 passes for 824 yards and a team-high five touchdowns.

A familiar face around Colorado is being recognized for his efforts to bring joy to football fans across the state.

Since being introduced as the Broncos’ mascot in 2001, Miles has been a staple both on game days and in the community.

For the second consecutive season, Nik Bonitto has earned a place among the NFL’s best.

“I’m still going to play aggressive, and I’m not going to shy away from it," Moss said.

Whatever you do, don't use the term "load management" around Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton.

The Denver Broncos enter the 2026 season with very high expectations after making it all the way to the AFC Championship Game last season before losing to the New England Patriots. There is plenty of reason to be optimistic about the Broncos heading into this season. Denver returns almost every starter on both sides of the ball from one of the best teams in the NFL, which makes it easy to see how the team will continue to take steps forward. The only big addition that the Broncos made this offseason was at wide receiver, where they traded for star playmaker Jaylen Waddle in a deal with the Mia…

“He’s in this spot where he’s understanding the game at such a different level,” wide receiver Courtland Sutton said of the third-year quarterback.

Courtland Sutton isn’t dealing with a significant injury. The Denver Broncos are simply making sure their star receiver doesn’t run out of gas when they need him most. Sutton has been managed carefully throughout training camp, and his explanation for the lighter workload reveals why Denver is taking the cautious approach. After consecutive 1,000-yard seasons for the first time in his career, Sutton admitted the workload eventually caught up with him last year. “I just try to be a good solider, man,” said Sutton, via The Athletic. “It’s a little different going into another season of my career…

The Denver Broncos have gotten some injury scares this week as NFL training camp has continued. Both wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and pass rusher Nik Bonitto exited practices early with various ailments, causing some to wonder what their status might look like heading into the preseason. However, thankfully, the team got a positive update on both players on Thursday. “Jaylen Waddle has been doing rehab drills on side field today. Slight limp from my eyes but doing hopping and light run drills with Nik Bonitto. Seems like no concern for Week 1 for either but limiting them in practice for time be…

The Denver Broncos have been dealing with several injuries in training camp, with wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, linebacker Nik Bonitto, and center Lyke Wattenberg being bothered by various ailments. Coach Sean Payton, however, has downplayed them, maintaining that they will enter the new season armed and ready. Wide receiver Courtland Sutton, meanwhile, did not participate in practice for the second straight time on Wednesday. It remains unclear if he was nursing anything or was just given back-to-back rest days. He was present on the field, but he did not wear his helmet and pads. Payton allay…

The Denver Broncos had one of the best defenses last season, and that will probably not change this year. While the departure of John Franklin-Myers, who signed with the Tennessee Titans in free agency, was a big blow, the Broncos have enough enforcers to sustain their top-level coverage. Last season, the Broncos allowed only 91.1 rushing yards and 187.2 passing yards per game, which ranked No. 2 and No. 6, respectively. They tallied 68 sacks, which were five shy of beating the league record set by the Chicago Bears in 1984. In a report from NFL.com’s Jeremy Bergman, Broncos defensive tackle D…

The 2026 Denver Broncos defense wants to take a bite out of the NFL record books, aiming again for the 1984 Chicago Bears' single-season team sack total.

One of the key acquisitions the Denver Broncos made this offseason was trading for Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. He’s in line to step in as the club’s No. 1 option in the passing game, giving quarterback Bo Nix more to work with in the 2026-27 campaign. However, it appears that nobody is more excited to play alongside Waddle than Troy Franklin. While talking with media members on Wednesday, Franklin “lit up” when asked about Waddle’s presence in Denver, according to Luca Evans of the Denver Post. The former Oregon Duck admitted he is impressed with Waddle’s speed and that he is doing…

Defensive lineman Eyioma Uwazurike and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach applied consistent pressure up front, while cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine recorded an interception.

Another day at Denver Broncos training camp and another key starter left practice early.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jaylen Waddle left practice early Wednesday, but head coach Sean Payton quickly downplayed concern after the session. Waddle did not return, prompting an immediate injury scare involving the Broncos’ most significant offseason roster acquisition. The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider reported Payton’s post-practice update in an article, indicating the issue was not expected to become a consequential concern. “Sean Payton said Jaylen Waddle had some ‘muscle tightness’ when he left the field early in practice. Said he expects the wideout to be fine.” Meanwhile, Waddle, a form…

The Denver Broncos have high expectations coming into 2026 after a breakout 2025 season where they made a run all the way to the AFC Championship Game. The Denver offense has gotten a lot of the attention this offseason, and rightfully so, but the defense is still where the Broncos will make their money. That should be the case again in 2026, when Denver returns a bulk of its starting group from a season ago and should once again be one of the top defenses in all of football. Vance Joseph’s unit has been proving that during training camp as they get ready for the season, and Tuesday was no dif…

Training camp is where fantasy football leagues are quietly won months before the regular season even begins. Every August produces unexpected risers. Those who monitor position battles closely frequently uncover league-winning value in the middle and late rounds. For the Denver Broncos, Sean Payton’s offense has evolved considerably over the past year. Amidst an upgraded supporting cast around Bo Nix, several key roles remain unsettled. Two competitions, in particular, carry enormous fantasy implications. They will determine how touches and targets are distributed in one of the AFC’s most int…

Broncos fans may be excited for the upcoming season and the future of their beloved team, but season ticket holders could face hefty charges.

Defensive lineman Zach Allen, who has earned All-Pro honors in back-to-back seasons, was particularly disruptive during the Broncos’ second padded practice.

During the Broncos’ first six practices since returning to the field, Waddle has repeatedly shown why the Broncos acquired him in the offseason.

As the Denver Broncos try to chase a Super Bowl title in 2026, pass rusher Nik Bonitto will be asked to continue leading the defense. However, Broncos fans were forced to hold their breath on Tuesday after Bonitto limped off the field. Head coach Sean Payton doesn’t seem too concerned about that early exit though. He kept things brief when updating Bonitto’s injury status, via Zac Stevens of DNVR. “Sean Payton expects Nik Bonitto will be fine. But no further updates,” Stevens wrote. “Encouraging after Bonitto left practice and did not return.” Despite the optimism, Payton and the Broncos are s…

The Denver Broncos are currently in the middle of training camp as they gear up for the 2026 NFL season. The Broncos are returning most of their core from a year ago, one that led the team to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game as the number one seed in the conference. On Tuesday, the Broncos got an injury scare on one of their most important players. “Nik Bonitto is slowly leaving the practice field with a trainer at each side,” reported Nick Kosmider of The Athletic on X, formerly Twitter. At this point, it’s unclear exactly what happened to Bonitto that caused the apparent injury, bu…

The updated Burnham Yard site layout and neighborhood plans were shaped by extensive community feedback and will continue to evolve moving forward.

"Man, he competes his tail off,” Head Coach Sean Payton said Monday. "I love that about him."

Broncos coach Sean Payton told reporters Monday he will talk to free agent Taysom Hill, 35, to gauge the veteran's interest in continuing his career, potentially with Denver, after he built plays arou

The Denver Broncos have one of the most fearless head coaches in the entire NFL. Sean Payton is famous for being an offensive genius and a master play caller. But what will it look like now that he has given up play calling duties in Denver? Payton spoke with the media on Monday about offensive coordinator David Webb calling plays in 2026. He said that “this is going to work” in regard to Webb calling plays, per Broncos reporter Chris Tomasson. However, Payton did add that he will have “some suggestions and some mandates” for Webb along the way. The Broncos promoted Davis Webb to OC as one of…

The Denver Broncos encountered an injury concern during Monday’s first padded training camp practice when starting center Luke Wattenberg left the field after going down during a one-on-one drill. Trainers attended to Wattenberg, and he did not return for the remainder of the session, with Alex Forsyth taking over at center. Head coach Sean Payton said after practice that the team will evaluate Wattenberg but added that he believes the starting center will be fine, offering an encouraging early update as the team awaits a clearer assessment of the injury. Wattenberg, a fifth-round selection in…

Von Miller has not been shy in expressing his desire to return to the Denver Broncos in free agency after his one-season stop with the Washington Commanders. In May, it was reported that Miller pitched himself to Broncos coach Sean Payton. After all, the veteran linebacker can still perform at a high level. He played in all 17 games for the Commanders last season, tallying nine sacks, his most since 2021. On Instagram, the 37-year-old Miller posted a series of pictures of his intense workout and off-field life, captioning it with lyrics from Drake’s “Make Them Cry.” Curiously, he also inserted…

Broncos quarterback Bo Nix says he will not hesitate to scramble on his surgically repaired right ankle this season and that when he's on the move is "when I feel at my best" on the field.

We'll have a much better idea of what to expect from the Denver Broncos' offense as training camp and the preseason roll on. Stay tuned and let this be a one-stop shop for any fantasy-relevant Mile High headlines.

Bo Nix is making one thing crystal clear as the Denver Broncos begin preparations for the 2026 NFL season. His repaired ankle will not change the way he plays quarterback. After recovering from the fractured right ankle he suffered during last season’s AFC Divisional Round, Nix dismissed any suggestion that he would become more cautious with his mobility. “Absolutely not,” Nix said when asked if the injury would make him less willing to scramble. “I’m going to roll [out]. I’m going to be as athletic as I can be… It’s a strength of ours and so we’ve got to use our strengths. For me, that’s when…

"I feel really good, feel like I’m in a good spot," Nix said. "I think it’s showing on the field."

“I think it is a strength,” Nix said of his ability to stick with a play. “… I feel like every practice I’ve ever been in, there’s going to be a time or two during practice that you have to move and escape and practice that dynamic play.”

Payton has doubled as head coach and playcaller for two decades. But now he enters relatively uncharted waters after turning over playcalling duties.

“I think we’re always trying to stretch the field,” Head Coach Sean Payton said. “… It was good to see the ball get down the field."

“When I first got here, I just felt the love,” Dobbins said. “Sean Payton is my favorite head coach I’ve ever played for. It just all feels like family here. They believed in me from the beginning.”

Denver Broncos running back JK Dobbins praised head coach Sean Payton during an energetic media session on Friday, calling him his “favorite” coach he has played for during his career while also expressing appreciation for the team’s belief in him. Dobbins made the comments during his first public availability since suffering a Lisfranc injury that ended his 2025 season and after re-signing with Denver on a two-year contract. “Sean Payton is my favorite head coach I’ve ever played for,” said Dobbins. “They believed in me from the beginning. They got my back and I got theirs.” Moreover, Dobbins…

The Broncos have added a defensive back to their roster.

Bolles earned first-team All Pro and Pro Bowl honors for the first time in his career in 2025.

"It’s guys running to the ball, guys flying, guys finishing plays and being physical," Hufanga said.

Sean Payton is never one to shy away from a bold play call, but his gutsy decision during the 2026 playoffs almost backfired. Speaking at the Denver Broncos’ training camp, the veteran head coach finally confirmed the rumors: He actually called a fake punt in overtime against the Buffalo Bills. Facing a fourth-and-11 from their own 38-yard line with the score tied 30-30, Payton dialed up the “Rutgers Special”. He felt confident they could snag the yardage needed to keep the drive alive. Fortunately for Denver, the players on the field had a different read. Yes, Sean Payton really called a fake…

Training Camp is now in full swing for the Denver Broncos, who hope to build on their impressive 14-3 record last season that gave them the top spot in the AFC West Division standings. And they gained a major weapon on the offensive side of the ball during the offseason when they acquired wideout Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins along with a 2026 fourth-round pick (111th overall, Kage Casey) in exchange for their 2026 first (30th overall, which the Jets used to select Omar Cooper), third (94th overall, Chris Bell), and fourth-round (130th overall, Trey Moore) picks. And already, Waddle’s…

The Denver Broncos received an encouraging update on Bo Nix as training camp continued Wednesday. Head coach Sean Payton praised the quarterback’s conditioning after the 26-year-old signal caller returned to full team drills, reinforcing optimism surrounding Denver’s offense ahead of his third NFL season. Nix participated in 11-on-11 work during the opening acclimation practice, marking another step forward from June minicamp, when the Broncos limited him to individual and seven-on-seven drills. Payton consistently maintained throughout the offseason that Nix would be fully healthy by training…

“Certainly, this is a team that has expectations of playing in the postseason,” Head Coach Sean Payton said.

After Nix led Denver to the postseason in back-to-back years, Head Coach Sean Payton expressed confidence that the third-year quarterback will “continue to improve.”

Broncos coach Sean Payton said the team is "staying the course'' as outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper participates in training camp.

The Denver Broncos have officially moved into their brand new, $175 million headquarters. Veterans reported to Broncos Park on Tuesday for the start of training camp and set foot into a stunning facility that took nearly two years to construct. The new headquarters boasts more than 21,000 square feet, which is about a third larger than the team’s previous building. The new building also features underground player parking and a simplified layout connecting the locker room, weight room, and indoor practice facility. The players are BACK for #BroncosCamp. And this is what was waiting for them. p…

"It starts right here in training camp,” cornerback Pat Surtain II said. “It starts early on in the season. Our main focus is to start off fast."

“My expectations were high, and it definitely exceeded my expectations,” cornerback Pat Surtain II said.

The Denver Broncos are making major moves before training camp kicks into high gear, and they just secured some much-needed offensive line continuity. Left guard Ben Powers has officially agreed to restructure his contract, taking a significant pay cut to remain in the Mile High City for the 2026 NFL season. According to Mike Klis of 9News, Powers accepted a revised one-year deal. While the 29-year-old veteran gives up a chunk of his original salary, he secures more guaranteed money in return. Previously, Powers carried a massive $18.2 million salary cap hit for 2026 and was scheduled to earn…

Plus, cornerback Jahdae Barron will look to make an increased impact during his second season in Denver.

La defensiva secundaria de los Broncos volverá a contar con talento de élite, encabezado por el Jugador Defensivo del Año 2024 y cuatro veces seleccionado al Pro Bowl, Pat Surtain II.

A limited number of half-price tickets per game will be available for purchase in compliance with the legislation and operating agreement with the Metropolitan Football Stadium District upon the construction of Empower Field at Mile High.

The Denver Broncos made two roster moves Sunday ahead of training camp, placing inside linebacker Jordan Turner on the Active/Non-Football Injury (NFI) list and guard Nick Gargiulo on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. Both players will continue to count toward Denver’s 90-man roster while remaining eligible to return to practice once they are medically cleared and pass a physical. Turner’s placement on the NFI list came as the more unexpected move. The Broncos did not disclose the nature of his injury, and no timetable for his return has been announced. The 6-foot-1, 231-poun…

As the start of training camp approaches, the Broncos have made a pair of roster moves.

"We’ve got young guys that we expect to step up and play,” Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph said in June.

Last month, Jonathon Cooper was arrested twice, for charges relating to domestic violence and other mischief charges. Fellow linebacker Nik Bonitto has gone off on the Broncos’ backups, stating what he believes they can do if they need to play in case of a Cooper suspension, according to the Denver Post. “We shouldn’t be surprised by any of them. Each one of them, when they have had the opportunity, they have made plays. You have seen it, Jonah (Elliss) for two years. Till (Dondrea Tillman) is as reliable as ever in the run and pass game. And you’ve got Que (Robinson). In limited opportunities…

“It’s obviously great when you can do it in the regular season,” Bonitto said Thursday of his playoff performance against Buffalo, “but doing it in the postseason in those big type of moments, it gives you that confidence to know you’re supposed to be there and you can make those types of plays on big stages.”

Examining the Broncos' outlook for 2026, the ways to bet them and our best bet going into the NFL season.

The Broncos begin training camp on July 28 in Englewood, Colorado. Here are key players to watch and a 53-man roster projection.

Surtain is already regarded as the top cornerback in the NFL, but he feels there's more for him to unlock this season.

The Denver Broncos took control of the AFC West, which had previously been dominated by the Kansas City Chiefs, last season. While the Chiefs faltered, the Broncos surged to the top of the division and earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Unfortunately, an injury to quarterback Bo Nix sidelined him for the AFC Championship Game, and the Broncos were beaten by the New England Patriots with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Now, Denver’s offseason has been focused on keeping their roster intact so it can get back to that point this fall. However, there is one thing that could hold them back. Sp…

Denver Broncos star quarterback Bo Nix earned praise from fellow teammate Patrick Surtain II ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Nix is gearing up for the third season of his career with the Broncos. He made major strides from Year 1 to Year 2, improving his game while leading Denver to more wins. The star quarterback seeks to get the Broncos to the Super Bowl, leading them to the AFC Championship Game last season. As the 2026 campaign gets closer for all 32 teams, the NFL ranked the top 100 players going into it. Nix stands out at the 59th spot, getting recognition from Surtain. “I think it was aga…

The Broncos’ signal-caller has again earned a spot among the NFL’s best.

The Denver Broncos enter the 2026 season with one of the league’s most respected defensive stars and a head coach who thinks beyond his own roster. Pat Surtain II received 75 percent of the first-place votes in ESPN’s cornerback rankings, with one NFL coordinator labeling him a generational player and insisting that the gap between Surtain and the rest of the position is significant. Meanwhile, head coach Sean Payton has recently predicted that the NFL could adopt the UFL’s live, transparent replay-review system within the next two to three years. Having reached the AFC Championship Game last…

The start of the 2026 NFL season is so close that you can almost taste it. Training camp begins at the end of July. Things are ramping up quickly. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell released an NFL Trade Value article for every team, projecting who is worth first-round picks. Let’s take a look at four QBs here: Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, and Bo Nix. Four first-round picks: QB Caleb Williams. “There’s still a fair amount of projection to be done with Williams, who had the worst completion percentage over expectation of any regular quarterback in 2025, per Next Gen Stats. Williams’ status as…

Garett Bolles and Quinn Meinerz were two of the six finalists for the league’s inaugural Protector of the Year Award, and both men were named Pro Bowlers and first-team All-Pros.

The selection is the first of Sutton’s career.

Running back Jonah Coleman, Denver’s fourth-round draft selection out of Washington, is eager to “come in and add value.”

Two years ago, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton considered an intriguing proposal after Bill Belichick departed from the New England Patriots. According to an insider report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Payton contemplated asking Broncos owner Greg Penner to temporarily hire Belichick as head coach. The idea was to secure the 15 wins necessary to break Don Shula’s record. Payton would have stepped down to the position of assistant head coach to oversee the offense before reclaiming the top job. However, this ambitious plan was ultimately dismissed as being too complicated to implement. Fast…

As the 2026 season approaches, five Broncos have been named to Pro Football Network’s list of the top 100 players in the NFL.

The Denver Broncos are one of the best-coached teams in the NFL. Denver has Sean Payton at head coach, which is a huge advantage in and of itself. But one national analyst believes that Denver’s coordinators are also among the best in the league. Gilberto Manzano of Sports Illustrated ranked the top five coordinator duos in the NFL in his latest article. Manzano praised Denver’s coaching coordinators, ranking them as the top tandem in the league headed into 2026. Offensive coordinator Davis Webb, who was promoted earlier this offseason, came in 10th place in Manzano’s offensive coordinator ran…

The Denver Broncos had a great 2025 season but fell to the New England Patriots in the AFC Title Game. As the 2026 season draws near, defensive tackle Zach Allen made a bold prediction and believes the Broncos’ defense can make history, according to NFL.com and the Denver Post. “In this league you’ve kind of always got to keep on finding ways to get better and adjusting and all that. It also helps when you’ve got V.J. [defensive coordinator Vance Joseph] dialing stuff up that helps us get one-on-ones. We’ve got a lot of good guys, and that’s going to create a lot of opportunities for people. W…

"I think a guy like that makes everybody on the offense better,” quarterback Bo Nix said.

The ranking is the highest of Allen’s career, as he snagged the 90th-overall spot on the 2025 list.

The Denver Broncos ended the 2025 season on a somber note. Denver got crushed by New England in the AFC Championship after Bo Nix suffered a shocking injury in the previous game. The Broncos will want to do everything they can to get back into that position this fall. It will help to have one of the NFL’s best pass rushers on their defense. ESPN released their annual edge rusher rankings just weeks before the beginning of NFL training camps. They polled over 70 NFL executives, scouts, and coaches to assemble the ranking list. Broncos fans should be thrilled to learn that Nik Bonitto finally ma…

The Denver Broncos have a clear defensive centerpiece entering the 2026 NFL season, and Patrick Surtain II continues to hold that status. ESPN’s latest NFL cornerback rankings placed Surtain at No. 1, giving Denver another national marker of his standing at the position. Surtain’s ranking came through ESPN’s annual survey of executives, coaches, and scouts. The result placed him above the rest of the league’s cornerbacks and reinforced his reputation as one of football’s few true shutdown players. The praise was especially meaningful because it came from league evaluators, not just people insi…

There’s little doubt about how much the Denver Broncos value Pat Surtain II. He can play, and he supports his teammates, too. The NFL knows him. And here’s why Pat Surtain II is the best cornerback in the league by a large margin, according to ESPN. Surtain ranked No. 1 among NFL cornerbacks, getting 75% of the first-place votes. “It’s not close,” a seasoned NFL coordinator said. “A generational player. Watch the AFC Championship Game. He was the best player on the field by far.” Broncos CB Pat Surtain II has all of the tools As he enters his sixth NFL season, Surtain already has four Pro Bowl…

These days, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton is dealing with things like Bo Nix’s ankle. And what the offense will look like in 2026. But two years ago, Payton cooked up a bonkers Bill Belichick coaching plan that got rejected after Belichick’s exit from the Patriots, according to a post on X by Adam Schefter. “Per @SethWickersham: When Bill Belichick and the Patriots divorced in 2024, Sean Payton considered presenting Broncos owner Greg Penner a proposal for the ages: Hire Belichick as head coach until he reached 15 wins, enough to break Don Shula’s career record of 347. Payton would tem…

With the Denver Broncos coming off the 2026 minicamp, there is no doubt that the team is hungry for the upcoming season after a disappointing AFC title game exit against the New England Patriots. As Broncos star quarterback Bo Nix is recovering from an ankle injury, this ESPN analyst puts pressure on the player to improve. Last season in his second year in the NFL for Denver, Nix threw for 3,931 yards to go along with 25 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, being a big part of leading the team all the way to the AFC championship game. ESPN’s Seth Walder would have Nix as an X-factor for the team t…

“Once you win a playoff game, you really feel like you can do anything, especially with the team that we have coming back,” Nix said in June.

The Denver Broncos on Tuesday announced plans to host 14 free and open training camp practices for fans at their 2026 Training Camp Powered by Ford with capacity limited due to construction at Broncos Park Powered by CommonSpirit.

Nix and Franklin, who played together collegiately at Oregon for two seasons, continue to develop their on-field relationship in Denver.

Over the course of five years (2026-’30) the program will aim to reduce financial barriers to play by providing financial support and essential equipment to increase youth participation in tackle and flag football.

The Denver Broncos entered the 2026 offseason with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations and a clear determination to maximize the development of quarterback Bo Nix. After showing extremely encouraging signs during the previous campaign, Sean Payton and general manager George Paton refused to settle. They aggressively upgraded the offense and created competition at nearly every position. That approach may ultimately strengthen Denver’s chances of competing in a crowded AFC. Of course, it also means several familiar names are suddenly fighting for their NFL futures. Mandatory minicamp offered an ea…

There’s no lingering concern from Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton about Bo Nix’s injury, and the team is hyped about his new receiver. However, could a potential Super Bowl season have gotten off on shaky footing? A Commanders’ insider needed just two words to show concern about Denver’s boat trip, according to a post on X by Nicki Jhabvala. Oh no. https://t.co/1klUJfxc9K — Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) June 23, 2026 NFL players getting on a boat together brings up a lot of bad memories for the league.

Following the conclusion of the Broncos’ offseason program, the team has signed a pair of players to its roster.

"The only thing to do and the only response possible is to put your head down and keep working for it," McGlinchey said.

“He’s doing well,” Head Coach Sean Payton said. “He’s doing really well. … It’s good to have him out here in uniform.”

The Broncos have signed a pair of players to begin the final week of their offseason program.

Plus, quarterback Bo Nix continues to progress, and Special Teams Coordinator/Assistant Head Coach Darren Rizzi details his NFL Accelerator Program experience.
