When you stack the roster, develop players, and win lots of games, other teams swoop in like vultures to pick up anything they possibly can from your organization. In the NFL, you can only spend so much and that leaves teams like the Broncos in a tough situation when multiple contracts expire at the same time. You can’t pay every player like…...

We’re as tired of writing about Julius Thomas as you probably are reading it. With that said, here’s another story on Julius Thomas. Well, kind of. Broncos VP of football operations and general manager John Elway is high on one of the Broncos free agent tight ends, and no, it’s not Julius Thomas. Elway recently told a local blogger “We…...

I had a chance to chat with Broncos monster defensive tackle Terrance Knighton on Thursday and like usual, he was very open, honest, and quotable. I immediately wanted to know if the Broncos had reached out to him at all during the offseason and the answer was an emphatic, no. Terrance told me, “They have not reached out to me…...

New Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak met with the media in Indianapolis today during the NFL Combine.

A few weeks ago I was made aware by an avid listener that Julius Thomas’ father was commenting regularly on a Broncos blog called Mile High Report. I was obviously skeptical at first but it was interesting so we kept digging. The account name of Thomas’ supposed father was “Lethylg.” Right, it looked weird to me too. After some pretty easy digging…...

What happened to Julius Thomas? The only thing that dropped off more than his production on the field was his likeness in Denver.

Most people assume that Julius Thomas will not be playing for the Broncos in 2015 but the reality is that it’s more than an assumption, it’s a certainty. Julius Thomas will aggressively enter the free agent market looking for just under 10 million dollars per season, with as much of it front-loaded as he can possibly find. You see,…...

After eight consecutive seasons where a quarterback targeted him 100 times or more, he was only targeted 64 times this season. After recording over 100 catches in five of the previous seven seasons, he caught only 49 passes in 2014. The eye test…...

You can always count on a great quote from Wade Phillips and he didn’t disappoint on Tuesday when meeting with the Denver press. Coach Phillips said, “I was a lousy head coach. But I am a pretty good defensive coordinator.” Phillips is probably referring to his days in Denver, where he first cut his teeth as a head coach.…...

Sounds like a crazy thought, but Broncos long time beat writer for the Denver Post Mike Klis thinks it could be a possibility. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the Broncos also pursue Mark Sanchez, the most accomplished quarterback in the pool of free agents. With or without Manning, the Broncos’ offseason plan can be broken down into three primary…...

The Broncos did their best in 2014 trying to patch together an offensive line with minimal personnel change, that would be better than the unit that was clearly exposed in Super Bowl XLVIII. They may be taking a different direction this offseason. With the addition of Gary Kubiak, Denver will likely return to the patented zone blocking scheme the team…...

According to a report filed by Andrew Mason for the Broncos official website, Montee Ball sustained an injury in week one of the 2014 season and didn’t notify the team, which in turn created a more severe injury a month later.

On Wednesday, I disclosed some information that I received from a source within the Broncos. Some information that was confirmed and reasoned with by other sources within the Broncos.
