Through three weeks of the NFL season, the Denver Broncos have the worst scoring defense in the NFL, giving up slightly over 40 points per game.
What would have to happen for the Broncos to make that change and move on from Vance Joseph?
The 2023 Broncos season started the exact same way the 2022 season started.
Both Week 1 games ended with a 17-16 loss for Denver.
Under Sean Payton, instead of Nathaniel Hackett, will the team turn things around? Or do season expectations change after losing at home to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1?
On one hand, Denver’s offense was much improved with their long drives and efficiency. On the other, they only scored the all-too-familiar 16 points.
But Samaje Perine is optimistic of where the Broncos’ offense can go, especially if they add just one more element to it.
The Broncos are back! In their first action of the preseason, the Denver Broncos fell on the road in Arizona to the Cardinals 18-17. The game came down to the final seconds, when Arizona quarterback David Blough hit Brian Cobbs in the end zone for an 18-yard touchdown, and the Cardinals converted the game-winning two-point conversion. The Broncos’ defensive starters…
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The next time we see the Broncos, they’ll be taking the field in Arizona for a real football game. (Well, at least as real as August football can be.) The Broncos held their final practice on Wednesday before they take on the Cardinals in a preseason bout at 8 p.m. MDT on Friday. Starters are expected to…
The Denver Broncos had their 13th training camp practice on Wednesday. Russell Wilson, Javonte Williams, Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich took the field for Sean Payton’s offense and went up against Vance Joseph’s defense, featuring Pat Surtain II, Justin Simmons, Zach Allen and Randy Gregory. But it was Courtland Sutton who had the best day on the field. In fact, Wilson didn’t throw a single incompletion. Who stood out? Who had the best day of camp? How did Russell Wilson look in Sean Payton’s offense?
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — We’re less than one week from preseason Broncos football, and head coach Sean Payton will be putting his starters on the field. “I haven’t shelled it out yet, but they’re going to play,” Payton said after Saturday’s practice. “We’ll figure out how many snaps. We typically break a game into three phases—first, second, third phase. And then special…
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have hit the halfway point in training camp. “You come in off the drills and you say, ‘What are we doing well? What aren’t we doing well?’” head coach Sean Payton said after practice. “That’s every period, and specifically, when it gets to the preseason and you’re playing a game. I think the easier thing…
Will Marvin Mims be a top three receiver for the Denver Broncos in 2023?
That is the question.
This is the debate.
The Denver Broncos’ receiver room has had a bad stretch of injuries throughout the past few years. If Jerry Jeudy, Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton are all able to stay healthy in 2023, what are they capable of under Sean Payton? With Russell Wilson at quarterback, is the group capable of being a top-five group in the NFL? What are the realistic expectations for the Broncos’ pass game in 2023?
Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton have both watched extensive film of New Orleans Saints’ receiver Michael Thomas this offseason after the team hired Sean Payton. Between Jeudy and Sutton, which will play a similar role to Thomas? Is it possible for either receiver to come close to putting up the All-Pro stats that Thomas did when he played under Payton?
Despite an offseason of trade speculation, Courtland Sutton remains in Denver.
Just where he wants to be.
Despite a loaded receiver room entering the draft, Sean Payton and George Paton invested even more into the room with their first pick in the draft.
But, according to Broncos’ management, the pick has nothing to do with the other receivers on the roster.
Odell Beckham Jr. is off the market after signing with the Baltimore Ravens on Easter Sunday. Should the Denver Broncos have offered OBJ the one-year, $18 million contract that Baltimore did? Or with Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and K.J. Hamler still on the roster was it best that Sean Payton and George Paton passed on Beckham? What does this mean for Denver’s receiver room moving forward? Additionally, the championship round is set to determine who is the best current Bronco. Was Jerry Jeudy able to pull off the upset over Pat Surtain II? What about Javonte Williams over Justin Simmons? And finally, the guys begin to preview 2023 NFL Draft prospects, beginning with Utah cornerback Clark Phillips III.
Sean Payton isn’t interested in trading Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton.
But he also thinks the speculation will continue through the draft.
Does that mean there’s still a chance one of them is traded?
The fellas discuss!
Sean Payton and George Paton spoke at the NFL Owners Meetings on Monday. When talking about Javonte Williams’ status for Week 1, Paton was hesitant to say if the Denver Broncos’ starting running back will be ready to return from his injury. If Williams isn’t able to play, will Samaje Perine be able to handle the running back workload? Or will the Broncos have to re-sign Latavius Murray? Or potentially draft a running back. Would a later-round back, such as Deuce Vaughn, be a good addition? Or would a first-round investment in Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs be needed? Could the Broncos trade either Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton to get the draft capital to snag one of those running backs?
Denver Broncos’ head coach Sean Payton spoke for the first time since the start of free agency. At the NFL Owners Meetings on Monday morning, Payton discussed the team’s signings of Mike McGlinchey, Ben Powers, Zach Allen, Samaje Perine, Jarrett Stidham and Alex Singleton. Payton was also asked about the trade rumors surrounding Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton and the state of the team moving forward.
On Sunday, Sean Payton told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that neither Jerry Jeudy nor Courtland Sutton will be traded.
On Monday, Payton doubled down on that stance.
Denver Broncos receiver K.J. Hamler suffered a torn pec this offseason that required surgery. The Broncos' former second-round pick will be out for four-to-six months, putting his availability for the start of the season in question. How does Hamler's injury impact Sean Payton and George Paton potentially trading Courtland Sutton or Jerry Jeudy? Is it less likely that either of those players will be traded? Do the Broncos need to now find a speed receiver in place of Hamler?
Since Sean Payton came to town, there has been a lot of talk about the future of the Denver Broncos’ wide receiver room. There have been rumors reports indicating the Broncos are open to trading Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and/or K.J. Hamler for the right price. The Broncos were also close to signing Allen Lazard before he signed with the New York Jets. On Monday, Adam Thielen revealed he had conversations with the Broncos about potentially joining them before he signed with the Carolina Panthers. With all of this talk, could Odell Beckham Jr. be in the mix for the Broncos to sign? Additionally, is newly signed punter Riley Dixon a lock to win the starting job over Corliss Waitman? It might not be as much of a lock as you may think.
