ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- In the last nine seasons, the Denver Broncos can put the role of the tight end in their offense into two categories:

The seasons of Healthy Peyton Manning.

And All The Other Seasons.

The Broncos want to change that. Enter Jake Butt.

“We like the potential there, we like what he can bring to the offense,” president of football operations/general manager John Elway said earlier this offseason.

In Manning’s three healthy seasons with the Broncos, the team’s offense bordered on historically ridiculous, including 2013’s run as the first 600-point offense in league history. In those seasons, a tight end caught at least 43 passes and the Broncos got 7, 14 and 15 touchdowns at the position.

Ah, yes. Potential. Butt has great potential. Had he not been injured in his last bowl game, he might have been a late first round or perhaps top 1/2 of the second round pick. That potential plus a couple of years experience might turn him into a top 10 TE in this league. Maybe.

In the meantime, while he is learning to play in this league, what is their plan, exactly?

...and hoping they found their answer in Butt. And Veerlander. And Keenum. And Booker.

He should be a very fine player and he's exceptionally easy to root for.

If he's no good, our TE stats will be at the bottom of the division.

I hope we split Jake our wide so OLB’s and DE’s can’t jamb Butt at the line. We want them to keep their hands off our Butt!

It'll be interesting to see if Chubb ends up lining up over Butt. If he does, you'll have to wonder if Chubb will get penetration on Butt.

Yes, that would be the end result!
