The Denver Broncos are a finalist to be on HBO’s Hard Knocks. Are they the favorite with Sean Payton at the helm? Should they be the favorite? The other teams are the Chicago Bears and the New Orleans Saints. If the Bears keep Justin Fields would they be better than the Broncos? What about if Chicago and ****Matt Eberflus**** selects USC’s Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft? If the Broncos keep Russell Wilson, would they be a lock to be on Hard Knocks? Would Sean Payton WANT Hard Knocks to be in Denver? PLUS: We break down the Divisional Round Playoff games and make our final picks. Will Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers pull off the massive upset against ****Christian McCaffrey****, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers? Will C.J. Stroud, DeMeco Ryans and the Houston Texans be able to find magic once again and beat Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens?

Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos had a middle-of-the-pack rushing attack in 2023 with Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Samaje Perine leading the way. Does George Paton need to add a running back this offseason? Would the best route be in free agency, such as Tennessee Titans Derrick Henry, Las Vegas Raiders Josh Jacobs, Dallas Cowboys Tony Pollard, New York Giants Saquon Barkley or Los Angeles Chargers Austin Ekeler? Or, should the Broncos turn to the 2024 NFL Draft to add dynamic back, such as Jonathon Brooks, Trey Benson, Blake Forum or Bucky Irving? If Denver does add a running back, what would that mean for the future of Javonte, Jaleel and/or Samaje?

Sean Payton, George Paton and the Denver Broncos have left the door open for Russell Wilson to return to the team in 2024. What would have to happen for Wilson to remain the Broncos’ starting quarterback under Payton? Would a pay cut be enough? How much would a pay cut have to be? Or does it all depend on what other options the Broncos could get at quarterback, such as if they can land a rookie, say Caleb Williams, Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix Jr, J.J. McCarthy or Bo Nix? What are the chances Russ is back next season? Plus, NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger joins us to break down Russell Wilson’s future, what the Broncos do next and also gives us the insight on Caleb Williams On the DNVR Broncos Podcast, Super Bowl 50 Champion Todd Davis, Zac Stevens and Henry Chisholm are coming to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down all of the latest news in Broncos Country.

USC quarterback Caleb Williams officially announced he is entering the 2024 NFL Draft on Monday. Is Williams truly a generational quarterback, like Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck? Or, is he even the best quarterback in the draft? Is UNC’s Drake Maye or LSU’s Jayden Daniels better than Caleb? How much should Sean Payton, George Paton and the Denver Broncos be willing to give up in order to trade with the Chicago Bears for the No. 1 overall pick? Should they be willing to trade multiple first-round picks? What about adding players in a package, such as Pat Surtain II, Courtland Sutton, Justin Simmons or Jerry Jeudy? Where should the Broncos draw the line in the sand in potential negotiations? PLUS, we break down all of the NFL playoff games over the weekend, including the Buffalo Bills, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Less than a week after the Denver Broncos season ended, Courtland Sutton posted an Instagram thanking Broncos Country for another season. But he also included a statement that leaves his future with the Broncos in doubt. Was the former Pro Bowl receiver indicating that his time in Denver will be over? After Sean Payton became the Broncos’ head coach last season, Sutton, Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick’s names were in trade speculation all offseason. Will that be the case again this year? Would the Broncos trade for Sutton? Release him? Or, would they be able to work out a restructure to keep him in town longer? We take a look at that plus look back at the weekend’s NFL Super Wild Card games including the Houston Texans destroying the Cleveland Browns and the Kansas City Chiefs handling the Miami Dolphins.

DNVR Broncos Podcast: Which current NFL playoff...
For an eighth-straight season, the Denver Broncos will not be playing in the postseason. In Sean Payton’s first season with the Broncos, the team won three more games than they did the previous season, but still fell shy of the playoffs. After a 1-5 start to the season, Payton hoped the Broncos could draw inspiration from the Detroit Lions, who started 1-6 the previous year and finished the season 9-8 and now are in the playoffs this year. Could the Broncos’ strong finish to the season lead to a playoff run like Dan Campbell and the Lions had last year? Or could the Broncos take a path more similar to another team in the playoffs this year? Plus, we pick all of the playoff games in the NFL this year AND make our Super Bowl picks. Who will win the following games this weekend? Cleveland Browns @ Houston Texans Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs Pittsburgh Steelers @ Buffalo Bills Green Bay Packers @ Dallas Cowboys Los Angeles Rams @ Detroit Lions Philadelphia Eagles @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers On the DNVR Broncos Podcast, Super Bowl 50 Champion Todd Davis, Zac Stevens, Ryan Koenigsberg and Henry Chisholm are coming to you LIVE from the DNVR Bar to break down all of the latest news in Broncos Country.

In the past 24 hours, Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots parted ways, Pete Carroll is no longer the head coach of the Seattle Seahawks and Nick Saban retired from Alabama Football. Could all three moves impact the Denver Broncos in multiple ways? Additionally, after benching Russell Wilson, the Denver Broncos and Sean Payton could very ell be in the quarterback market this offseason. If the team does move on from Wilson, which Sean Payton and George Paton said hasn’t been decided yet, the Broncos will be limited in salary cap space. That would limit the team’s ability to lure in a top free agent quarterback and certainly limit their ability to trade for a top-tier QB. That would mean the most likely path for the team landing a quarterback would be in the 2024 NFL Draft. After the College Football Playoff National Championship game where Michigan Football handily beat Washington Football, did Michael Penix Jr.’s stock drop significantly? Did J.J. McCarthy’s stock skyrocket? Is USC’s Caleb Williams still the No. 1 prospect? Will the Chicago Bears stick with Justin Fields or will they draft Caleb?

The Denver Broncos close out their NFL season on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. After benching Russell Wilson, the Broncos’ quarterback situation moving forward is way up in the air. Can Jarrett Stidham do ANYTHING against his former team to grab the starting job going into 2024? Or will Sean Payton look at quarterbacks in free agency as well as in the 2024 NLF Draft? Could Stidham prove he would be a good compliment to Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix Jr., Drake Maye, Bo Nix or J.J. McCarthy if the Broncos draft a rookie QB? Additionally, the crew gives their pick on if the Broncos will beat the Raiders for the first time in eight games! The fellas also break down where Denver will finish in the draft order. Will they jump the Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints? Or, if they will, will they fall behind the Seattle Seahawks, Cincinnati Bengals, Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers?

The NFL Pro Bowl rosters were announced and the Denver Broncos not only have three Pro Bowlers, they have three starters. Pat Surtain II, Justin Simmons and Marvin Mims Jr. were each named Pro Bowl starters for their fantastics seasons. But many Broncos were snubbed, including Courtland Sutton, Quinn Meinerz and Michael Burton. Who was Denver’s BIGGEST Pro Bowl snub? Additionally, despite being eliminated from the NFL playoffs, Sean Payton has made it very clear that he is going to do everything he can for the Denver Broncos to beat the Las Vegas Raiders in the team’s season finale in Week 18. A win would give the Broncos their first winning season since 2016. How important is that? Can that carry momentum for the team going into next season? It would also give Denver their first win against the Raiders since they moved to Las Vegas.

DNVR Broncos Podcast: Is Michael Penix Jr. the ...
After benching Russell Wilson, Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos are in the market for a new quarterback for the 2024 season. Since the Broncos won’t have much cap space with an expected massive dead cap hit after moving on from Wilson, Denver will need to find a cost-controlled quarterback. That’s why drafting a quarterback could make the most sense. If the Broncos do turn to the draft, which quarterback makes the most sense? Could Denver trade with the Chicago Bears to land the No. 1 overall pick and draft Caleb Williams or Drake Maye? If not, who is the third-best quarterback in the draft? Is it Washington’s Michael Penix Jr., who has had a fanatic season, highlighted by a tremendous performance against Texas in the College Football Playoff semifinal? Or is the LSU’s Heisman winner Jayden Daniels? How much would it cost the Broncos to trade up for either of those quarterbacks? If Denver doesn’t trade up, could they land Oregon’s Bo Nix or Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy in the first round? Plus, NFL Network analyst Brian Baldinger joins us to break down Russell Wilson, Jarrett Stidham, the Broncos’ final game of the season against the Las Vegas Raiders and where the Broncos and Sean Payton turn to moving forward.

Before Sean Payton’s first full season with the Denver Broncos was over, he made the decision to bench Russell Wilson in place of Jarrett Stidham for performances purposes. This would seem to indicate the end of Wilson’s time in Denver. However, there are reports stating that Payton and the Broncos could bring Wilson back if he is their best option at QB for the 2024 season. Is that true? What would have to happen for Wilson to be considered the best option moving forward? Would Wilson take a pay cut after stating that he wants to be in Denver moving forward? Can Jarrett Stidham’s play in the season finale against the Las Vegas Raiders impact this decision? Who are other options for the Broncos at quarterback moving forward? Will it be the free agent route, such as Jameis Winston? Or could it be the NFL Draft, with options such as USC’s Caleb Williams, North Carolina’s Drake Maye, LSU’s Jayden Daniels or Washington’s Michael Penix Jr.?

In order to make the playoffs, Sean Payton, Vance Joseph, Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton, Javonte Williams, Pat Surtain II and Justin Simmons will need a lot of help.

The Denver Broncos and Sean Payton benched Russell Wilson for Jarrett Stidham heading into their final two games of the season. On Wednesday, Sean Payton spoke about the move for the first time. Was the decision to bench Wilson purely about winning the final two games? Does Sitdham give the Broncos the best chance to beat the Los Angeles Chargers and the Las Vegas Raiders? How much of the decision to bench Wilson was about the future injury guarantees that would kick in if he got injured? We break down the reports that suggest Wilson’s benching had been in the works for two months. Additionally, what does this move mean for the future of the Broncos’ QB position? Is Jarrett Stidham the frontrunner to be Denver’s starting quarterback in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season? Or is a rookie, say LSU’s Jayden Daniels or Washington’s Michael Penix Jr. in a prime stop to be Payton’s signal caller? Has Wilson played his last snap for the Broncos? Finally, does this move put George Paton on the hot seat heading into the offseason?

Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos have benched Russell Wilson for Jarrett Stidham.

The move ives Sean Payton an opportunity to look at Jarrett Stidham and see if he can be the quarterback of the future. Second, and potentially even more importantly, it prevents Wilson from getting injured. If Wilson were to get injured in the final two weeks of the season, it could guarantee some of his future contract. With Kareem Jackson being claimed by the Houston Texans, do signs already point to Sean Payton, Vance Joseph and the Broncos looking toward the future?
