Do the Denver Broncos think Nik Bonitto is worth $20M per year?

Rumor has it that Nik Bonitto and the Broncos are working on an extension, and according to Chris Tomasson, the asking price may be starting at $20M per year.

According to overthecap.com’s position data, that would put him around the 12th or 13th highest salary for an edge rusher in the league.

On one hand, his spectacular year is just one season of superb play after a good year in 2024.

But on the other hand, this is a young player who is still getting better and absolutely...

Chris Harris Jr. obviously loves the addition of Jahdae Barron. Here’s what he has had to say about the addition.

It’s always nice to have a Denver Broncos legend chime in on a rookie who plays the same position they did. Chris Harris Jr. is the logical choice to interview to talk about how Jahdae Barron might fit in with the unit. On the Up & Adams show, he talked about the fit and what we might expect from the unit as a whole this season.

Harris leaned into his own experience as a sophomore heading into his second season....

The defensive end out of LSU can play edge, on the inside or on the end: ‘I can play across the line.’

Good morning, Broncos Country!

When the Broncos traded up in the third round of the NFL Draft to grab LSU’s Sai’vion Jones, the NFL world thought they were drafting a defensive end.

But the 6-foot-6, 280-pound Louisiana native had other ideas.

“When you pick me, you’re drafting a couple of players,” he said. “I’m not just an edge player. I can play a 4-line, a 3-line…I can play across the line. I felt like that’s the reason...

Here’s what you need to know.

With the start of free agency and the draft now in the rearview, football season is still months away. What’s a Broncos fan going to do during football’s most useless month, May? Even though there isn’t any football to speak of, there’s still football things happening.

ROOKIE MINICAMP

Broncos drafted rookies, undrafted free agents, and tryout players will report to minicamp on May 9-11. Part new employee orientation and part football camp, this will be the rookies first organized activity with the Denver Broncos. Physicals, equipment fittings, meetings, and strength & conditioning are...

It’s been a week since the 2025 NFL Draft concluded. After giving it some more thought, here is a more in-depth review of the Denver Broncos’ draft efforts.

The Denver Broncos are a better team now than they were just a week ago before their 2025 NFL Draft endeavors.

It will be several seasons of on the field play to determine how this class stacks up compared to others around the league. In our post-draft instant reaction grade segment, I have given them a C- grade for their efforts. Though I’m certainly not a fan of draft grades, that low...

This could be a common theme for the Broncos heading into the 2025 regular season.

Good morning, Broncos Country!

NFL power rankings are always fun.

Or dumb.

It just depends on where your team falls in those power rankings.

For the Denver Broncos, one such list at CBS Sports had them at No. 4 on the AFC power rankings. That’s above the Cincinnati Bengals, Los Angeles Chargers, and Houston Texans.

As the author of the power rankings said about the Broncos:

“I’m high on the Broncos entering this season. Bo Nix had a fantastic rookie year, and now...

Draft slot vs consensus big board by team for the whole 2025 draft

The consensus big board from the 2025 draft can be found here- the rankings are 1-300. NextGen stats and AWS have their DRAFTIQ score which I wrote quite a bit about prior to the draft. Their rankings go from 50-100. NFL.com has their draft grades which range from 5.50-8.0 (an odd scale to say the least). PFF grades/ranks their top 350 players in the draft.

I have compiled the rankings for the Denver Broncos draft class in 2025 and it is below.

So according to the consensus...

There is a long draft history over Sean Payton’s multi-decade career as a head coach, so the sample size is big enough for our purposes.

As we continue to analyze the Denver Broncos draft class this week, we find little nuggets of information that, frankly, we never looked for in years’ past because the only thing that mattered was finding a quarterback. Now that Bo Nix is here, we get to have fun again.

In Sean Payton’s career as a head coach, he has drafted a lot of players in the first three rounds. However, looking at his picks in...

The newly signed safety is a big fan of the Broncos' starting quarterback.

DNVR’s Bennie Fowler recently interviewed Broncos safety Talanoa Hufanga, and he had some interesting things to say about quarterback Bo Nix, why he signed with the team, and rookie cornerback Jahdae Barron.

Hufanga told Fowler that Bo Nix reached out immediately after he signed with the Broncos and was able to meet with him on the day he signed his contract. He called Nix a “gamer,” and he wanted to come here and help be part of the change because of Bo Nix. His work ethic and...

Good Morning Broncos Country!

Good Morning, Broncos Country!

With their final pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the Denver Broncos selected Utah tight end Caleb Lohner in the 7th round. He is a bit of a project, though, since he has just played one year of football, caught just four passes (all of which were touchdowns), and is transitioning from basketball to football.

He is a bit of a project considering his overall lack of experience, but the size, athleticism, and untapped potential are obvious. While it’s not an apples-to-apples comparison, Payton and the Broncos are hoping they've found the...

The Denver Broncos got two impact players with their first and second round picks. Not every impact player is a ‘draft steal’ but it would appear they got that as well.

The Denver Broncos surprised many with their approach to the 2025 NFL Draft, but as the national media goes over its post-draft analysis there seems to be some consensus that the Broncos draft class is pretty darn good. Already this week, Todd McShay sang his praises of their draft and Mike Silver shared some news how the Jacksonville Jaguars were pissed over how Denver drafted on Day 2.

Now...

After thirteen seasons with the Denver Broncos, Director of College Scouting Brian Stark was tabbed as the next Assistant General Manager of the Las Vegas Raiders.

Good morning, Broncos Country.

Over the past several off-season's, a handful of coaches and personnel executives from the Denver Broncos have earned promotions elsewhere. And with their 2025 NFL Draft efforts complete, yet another has been lured away from the team to a division rival.

According to NFL Insider Albert Breer, longtime scouting guru Brian Stark is being hired by the Las Vegas Raiders to become their new Assistant General Manager. Stark played an...
