Troy Renck likes to note that Denver will now have some cap space with players leaving, such as Peyton Manning retiring. Troy thinks the Broncos could end up giving Von Miller NFL quarterback type money. His reasoning is that rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch won’t make much money early in his NFL career.
At the end of the show C.J. and Troy debate what will unfold this season for Denver at quarterback. Troy finds it hard to believe that Mark Sanchez will get beat out in camp by a rookie quarterback.
