Broncos news megathread

[ROYC75]

Discussion: All things Broncos.

[CupidStunt]

Their opening schedule is a joke, as usual, but they'll still have the worst QB on the field in every game and will be lucky to come out of it 2-1.

Hopefully 3-0 though so they can go 6-11 instead of worse and miss the legit QBs yet again.

Chris Jones is only counting $8.5M on your cap this year and is due to count $29.4M next year. Pat Mahomes' cap charge is only $7.4M this year and is going to be $35.4M next year. Yes, the salary cap is going to go up two years from now, but when it does Mahomes won't be taking up 4% of it like he is now.

Teddy Bridgewater was due to make $20M this year and Paton managed to only be on the hook for $4M of it. The Panthers are paying Teddy significantly more this year than the Broncos are. Paton will be aggressive with Rodgers next offseason.

Aaaaaaand here it comes

While it's true that the Chiefs probably can't keep everybody every year and may have to let somebody like Mathieu walk, reports of them needing to tear down the house and build up again like Seattle did after the Wilson contract are greatly exaggerated. Veach and Brandt Tillis are just flat out smarter than douche****s like George Paton. They're going to find ways to keep guys. And meanwhile, Veach has been rolling out quite a few successful drafts since 2019. For example, I don't think you quite understand how fist-****ingly deep our DL is, and this is something that's been quietly building up over a few years. All draft picks and players acquired by LETS REACH!

Your team will likely be more competitive this year than it's been in the past, I'll give you that much. But much like the Manning years when we had Smith, while you may get closer, nothing you do is going to get you over that hump.

Get prepared to be swept again, assdouche.

Sad thing is, we're probably too good to sweep them again. We know that Andy will likely sit the starters if they have HFA wrapped up.

Then again, given how the Broncos looked against LA's backups, I wouldn't rule out a win.

The Chiefs won't. HFA is going to Buffalo. The AFC West is too tough to have the #1 seed in the AFC come out of it.

First of all:

Second: Buff is going to have to beat KC at Arrowhead for that to happen.

Spoiler: That isn’t going to happen

The Bills should have a 2 game lead on their closest competitor, IMO.

So in your expert opinion...what exactly have the Bills done, in one off-season, to topple the Chiefs?

KC manhandled them in both games and the Chiefs look like they have upgraded the OL/DL/LB and improved their TE/RB depth.

It usually stops after week 3 then ramps back up mid-March

It's not so much what the Bills have done but who is in their division and how easy their schedule is.

Bringing in Emmanuel Sanders and Greg Rouseau doesn't hurt, though.

Well, let’s see....

There’s one team in the division that is even close to the Chiefs’ level and it would be very optimistic to expect them to do more than split with KC.

Verdict: False

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Their best hope to prevent a third straight SB appearance is a team that was manhandled twice by an inferior KC roster.

These are good times!

@Saints
Dolphins x2
Patriots x2
Washington
Pittsburgh
Colts
