NFL Trade Rumors
Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II is fresh off winning the Defensive Player of the Year award. Surtain said there is always room to improve, but his ultimate goal is to win a Super Bowl.
“There’s always something out there to do better,” Surtain said, via Aric DiLalla of the team’s site. “Why not get another one? Why not get more All-Pros? … But I think the main goal is to win the Super Bowl, at the end of the day. That’s why I play the game, is to win. I think that’s the end goal for me.”
Denver made headline additions of S Talanoa Hufanga and LB Dre Greenlaw to their defense. Surtain thinks both players bring a “winning atmosphere.”
“Those guys are going to come in and bring that winning atmosphere,” Surtain said. “They’ve been to Super Bowls. They know how to win at a high level. So, adding that to the team will only make our team even better.”
Surtain acknowledged their higher expectations going into 2025 and thinks they need to “stay level-headed.”
“We try to stay level-headed, stay grounded, be where our feet are and just grind and perfect our craft each and every day,” Surtain said.

Worthy was also asked about the possibility that he could be returning punts this season.
“Oh man, I don’t know,” Worthy said. “Stay tuned. Stay tuned. I can’t drop that yet. I think every time I touch the ball, I’m liable to score, so if I have that chance to be on punt return and change the game for my team, I’m gonna do it.”
Speaking on the team’s social media account, Raiders TE Michael Mayer feels like he is fitting in with the offense, even though TE Brock Bowers had a breakout rookie season while Mayer was away from the team due to personal issues.
“It’s been a great spring here. I’m so excited to be back here, and it’s been very fun. The new coaching staff has been great. Everything’s great,” Mayer said, via the team’s YouTube channel. *“These coaches know what I can do and what I can put out on that field, and it’s obviously only going to be better out there with Brock Bowers, with Ian Thomas, those other two tight ends. The tight end room as a whole, we’re very, very close. We’re a close-knit community, and we’ve had a...
