Good morning, Broncos Country!
There’s genuine anticipation over the Denver Broncos. For now, it’s about NFL free agency and what the franchise will do in a few weeks.
The wealthiest ownership in the NFL certainly doesn’t hurt. So does having the head coach, general manager, and quarterback. Add in the capital, money, and resources to make it happen, and you get the picture.

But now this current group has success and salary cap space to actually markedly improve the roster. Free from the albatross of the Russell Wilson disaster, the Broncos can put all of this to use as a pitch to free agents.
We haven’t seen this since the Peyton Manning days.
I’m not saying Greg Penner, George Paton, and Sean Payton are about to embark on an NFL free agency tour like the one John Elway did in 2014 when he signed T.J. Ward, Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, and Emmanuel Sanders. But I’m not ruling it out either. Denver has the means and the attraction to pull it off.
The 2014 team was on the heels of a blowout Super Bowl loss. The 2025 Broncos are on the heels of a tough defeat in the AFC Championship Game. Like that 2014 team, the current Denver roster is a contender.

How the franchise goes about filling in the gaps and which players it brings in come March, we will find out. The fact that the Broncos are in this position again is genuinely exciting. Denver is a legitimate contender and destination again, and with that comes anticipation.
NFL free agency can’t get here soon enough.
