Denver Broncos

The Broncos enjoyed their bye week this week so it was relatively quiet…that is until this weekend. First, the Broncos announced the signing of Tim Patrick to a contract extension.

Shortly after that, news broke that Courtland Sutton also received a contract extension.

Together the Broncos have a young and really good receiving core. Couple these two with Jerry Jeudy and this is a good offense…

Without a quarterback, this doesn’t mean much, but it is certainly fueling speculation that maybe the Broncos will try to bring in a big free agent this offseason (Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, etc.). Who knows…

Next week, the Broncos host the Chargers in Denver. The Broncos, at 5-5 are still in play for a playoff spot, but the Chargers are trying to keep pace with the Chiefs. Who knows what will happen, but I hope the Broncos shock the Chargers. It would certainly help the Chiefs and make the following week’s matchup between the Broncos and the Chiefs more exciting.
