If former third-round pick Carlos Henderson doesn’t find his way onto the football field for the Denver Broncos this season, it will be an “organizational failure” for the club, “Stokley and Zach” host Zach Bye said on Monday.

Finishing at 5-11, the 2017 season ranks among the worst seasons for the Denver Broncos since the beginning of the Super Bowl era.

In very much Hunter S. Thompson style, the author advocated for the Indianapolis Colts to take Ryan Leaf over Peyton Manning in a March 1998 pre-draft letter to owner Jim Irsay recently unveiled. Leaf passed along the letter to the folks at the Rich Eisen Show on Thursday, who then, in turn, shared via Twitter […]

The highly-sought, highly-watched free agent this offseason was Kirk Cousins, not Case Keenum. The sexy pick for the Denver Broncos in this year’s NFL Draft would have been a quarterback, not necessarily pass rusher Bradley Chubb. But, for what the Broncos may appear to lack in splash they make up for in substance — and […]
“Stokley and Zach” host Brandon Stokley said on Monday it’s hard to see wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders stay with the Broncos past 2018, but that would mean Denver has confidence in its young receivers, Courtland Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton. Mobile users, click here if you can’t see the video.
