True but like I said the NFL is staring straight at tv contracts running out, overseas games and 17th game ... I can’t remember the last time players had all this leverage.

At the very least you don’t take the first offer.

Effective immediately and until further notice, the Broncos are allowing all employees who have the ability to work from home the option to do so.

The team is prioritizing its employees’ health, their families and the community over all operations—both football and business.

Have they moved back free agency yet? That seems next.

Bitch better have my money.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos' pre-draft process will look a little different in 2020, at least for the time being.

As part of the NFL's response to COVID-19 (coronavirus), the league sent a memo to teams on Friday that all in-person, pre-draft visits with draft-eligible players are prohibited until further notice.

Teams were previously allowed to host 30 prospects for in-person visits in the leadup to the 2020 NFL Draft.

Man, moving that draft would be such a scheduling nightmare. Back to no prospects in the building, no crowds, CCTV and a few broadcasters with the prospects on Skype?

Well, the issue for the players isn’t that simple. It only hurts the players in the top 5%. The majority of the players that play for close to the league minmum would get substantial pay raises, but guys making 10 million per year don’t really care about that.

Broncos are trying to work out 1-year deal with CB and RFA De’Vante Bausby per sources. Team will not tender Bausby. He was one of team’s biggest surprises last year until his scary neck injury that has healed. #9sports

From inside Broncos' almost completely shutdown headquarters: Team has got a franchise quarterback. And his name is Drew Lock. Team is not doing Tom Brady. #9sports
