They disturbed the natural order. When NFL teams reconvene for spring workouts, as Denver does Monday, it represents a time for hellos and catching up.
Except in the case of the Broncos. It feels like they never left.
The season ended Feb. 7 with the Broncos smothering the Carolina Panthers 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. Large chunks of players hung out together, well, everywhere: "Conan," "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon," the NFL Network, ESPN "Car Wash," "Dancing with the Stars," in throwing sessions at Mission Viejo (Calif.) High School, at Aqib Talib's Las Vegas wedding and Von Miller Day at DeSoto (Texas) High School on Saturday.
Miller won't attend the offseason program because of his commitment to dancing and his unresolved contract negotiations. He continues to insist he wants to be a "Bronco for a life," because of the organization's excellence and his fit on the team. The task of repeating, which no franchise has done since the New England Patriots in the 2003 and 2004 seasons, begins Monday at 8 a.m. with phase 1 of the offseason program.
"We have ridden the Super Bowl long enough," Broncos safety T.J. Ward told the team's website. "It's time to get back to working on another one. I am eager to get back with my teammates, with my brothers."
