In the front office, the #Broncos found a trade market where prices stayed high and sellers held firm. In the locker room, nobody cared. "We've got all the pieces we need," QB Bo Nix said. On a quiet deadline for 7-2 Denver. www.denverpost.com/2025/11/04/b... @denverpost.com

Not expecting Denver to have anything going at the buzzer here. Appears the 7-2 #Broncos are standing pat.

Another deadline consideration for the #Broncos, particularly if you're thinking about potentially splashy moves: NFLPA data has Denver at $4.62 million in cap space. So taking on any meaningful salary would likely require moving money around/creating room/shedding salary, etc.

On trade deadline day, a quick reset of the #Broncos 2026 draft capital: R1 R2 R3 R4 (New Orleans) R4 R5 R7 Denver also currently has its full set of 2027 picks plus an extra R7 from New Orleans acquired in the Devaughn Vele trade.

Four of the #Broncos nine games have been decided by a walk-off FG attempt. They lost the first two at Indy and at LAC and now have posted wins against the N.Y. Giants and at Houston.

AFC West through Week 9 Denver: 7-2 Los Angeles: 6-3 Kansas City: 5-4 Las Vegas: 2-6

#Broncos DL Zach Allen told me after the game: "We pride ourselves on rushing four. We beg for it." How a rush-and-coverage plan to live without CB Pat Surtain II gave the Denver defensive front a chance to throw their own blanket on the Texans: www.denverpost.com/2025/11/02/b...

The #Broncos put waiver claims on two TEs Monday, but lost out on both. Tuesday, they brought 41-year-old Marcedes Lewis in for a workout. On the search for TE depth: www.denverpost.com/2025/10/28/b...

Sean Payton: A communication failure led to All-Pro return man Marvin Mims Jr. being in the game for a kick return, up 20, with 4:44 left Sunday vs. the Cowboys. Mims sustained a concussion at the end of the return. More: denverpost.com/2025/10/27/m... via @denverpost.com

Final: #Broncos 44, Dallas 24 Denver has won six straight and nine in a row at Empower Field dating to Week 6 last year. Bo Nix threw for four touchdowns. RJ Harvey had three total. Dondrea Tillman and Jahdae Barron logged their first picks. The record: 6-2.

Releasing QB Sam Ehlinger today allows the #Broncos to re-sign him to the PS tomorrow and elevate him for the game if they want (haven't been using PS spots recently anyway). And it opens the door for Dre Greenlaw to be activated from IR tomorrow. More: t.co/jZflAAQcA8

#Broncos released QB Sam Ehlinger, per the transaction wire. That clears a spot for, potentially for ILB Dre Greenlaw to be activated from injured reserve.

An eye-popping measure of the #Broncos' pass-rush dominance: Their 93 sacks since the start of the 2024 season is 28 more than any other team (Seattle, 65). The gap between Denver and Seattle is as big as the gap between Seattle and No. 32 Carolina (37).

#Broncos are placing LG Matt Peart (knee) and ILB Garret Wallow (hamstring) on injured reserve, sources say. Their spots on the 53-man roster will be taken by special teamer J.T. Gray (signed off Baltimore's practice squad) and by promoting OL Calvin Throckmorton to the 53-man roster.

More on TE Lucas Krull injuring his foot and the #Broncos considering an IR placement, per sources denverpost.com/2025/10/03/l... via @denverpost.com

It's a role thing at this point. Dobbins and Harvey are the top two and then Badie fills the third-down role better, the staff thinks, as a pass-protector primarily and also receiver. If the offense continues to lack juice, though, you have to wonder if they'd at least try to find him some snaps.

#Broncos inactives: QB Sam Ehlinger (emergency 3rd QB) DL Jordan Jackson (first time this year) TE Lucas Krull (first time this year) RB Jaleel McLaughlin OT Frank Crum OLB Que Robinson Rookie DL Sav'Vion Jones is active for the first time in his career.

#Broncos WR Marvin Mims Jr. (hip) is active tonight, per source. Mims was listed as questionable after he had an injury pop up during Saturday's practice. Had six catches for 40 this year but an All-Pro returner, too. And had a huge game in December last year vs. Bengals.

Brandon Jones isn't your typical NFL safety. He trains barefoot in the offseason. He's in the pool before dawn. He's a small circle guy and a reliable last line of defense for the #Broncos. How he got here and what drives him: "Brandon has a big 'why.'" www.denverpost.com/2025/09/27/b...

#Broncos offensive snap counts. RB rotation: J.K. Dobbins 40 snaps, RJ Harvey 22, Tyler Badie 14. TE Evan Engram 26 snaps and just one after the third-and-8 conversion in the third quarter when he came up limping with what the team said was a calf injury.

Not a favor because they really value him but they likely told him they wanted him to start on the PS but that he’d be promoted to the 53 when a spot came open. George Paton even said, “we consider Sam a 53-man roster player.”

#Broncos are signing QB Sam Ehlinger to the 53-man roster, source says. Will need a corresponding move, which means either a departure or an IR placement.

Singleton and Strnad. Levelle Bailey will be up, too, Also interested to see how much nickel they play and if they get creative. They really trust McMillian and Barron to tackle. Just a guess, but plenty of ways for Vance Joseph to mix it up.

From the not-surprising department, source said the #Broncos intend to elevate ILB Levelle Bailey from the practice squad on Sunday.

Dre Greenlaw and Malcom Roach are both OUT for the #Broncos Sunday vs. Tennessee.

The #Broncos defense has talent, depth, recognition and now a big price tag. They know, and welcome, lofty expectations. JFM: "The role players, the starters and the stars we have, it gives us that freedom to kind of be able to do everything."\ More: www.denverpost.com/2025/09/05/b...

Obviously every injury is unique, but Dr. Kenton Fibel at Cedars-Sinai Orthopedics in Los Angeles tells @denverpost.com a typical Grade 2 calf strain — the severity of injury a source says #Broncos DT Malcolm Roach is dealing with — "is probably going to be several weeks."

#Broncos defense now features two $100-million plus players in DT Zach Allen and OLB Nik Bonitto plus the reigning DPOY in CB Pat Surtain II, whose four-year, $96 million deal last summer is already a bargain.

Yes. Checks in No. 10 among edge rushers. $70 million in guarantees is seventh.

#Broncos' seven extensions since July 2024: * RG Quinn Meinerz * CB Pat Surtain II * OLB Jonathon Cooper * LT Garett Bolles * WR Courtland Sutton * DL Zach Allen * OLB Nik Bonitto Total guaranteed money: $376 million.

Early story on the #Broncos making Nik Bonitto the highest-paid non-QB in franchise history with a four-year extension worth $106 million (up to $120 million) and featuring $70 million guaranteed. www.denverpost.com/2025/09/04/n... via @denverpost.com

Just in: #Broncos and OLB Nik Bonitto get the extension done before the regular season begins. It's four years and up to $120 million with $70 million in guarantees, sources confirm. Base value of $106 million.

Zach Allen loves the chess match against OLs and has built an arsenal — and a mindset — to thrive. A look at his offseason process and a change-up to his stance that worked in 2024, but more importantly what it taught the the #Broncos’ $102 million man: www.denverpost.com/2025/08/31/z...

Source confirms QB Sam Ehlinger is signing to the #Broncos practice squad. Had other options including 53-man roster spots but Sean Payton, Davis Webb and Co. love him. Ehlinger is a veteran and not subject to waivers.

After two years of turnover, #Broncos have real stability going into 2025. Of last year's initial 53-man roster, 39 are on this year's (18 O, 19 D, 2 ST). That includes 15 of 16 DLs, with rookie Sai'Vion Jones being the only newbie this year.
