The NFL has announced that it will be releasing the opponents that the Denver Broncos will be going up against in the preseason on Monday.

While it is not as exciting as free agency and the draft during the offseason, the Denver Broncos will get to know who they will play in August soon.

The NFL announced they will be releasing the preseason opponents for all 32 teams on Monday. It will be made public at 3 PM MST.

One preseason game has already been determined as the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys will be playing the Hall of Fame game.

The NFL normally sticks the teams that are close to each other geographically and have them play each other.

And no teams within their own division is normally allowed.

For the Denver Broncos, the most common opponents have been the Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Texans, and San Francisco 49ers to name a few.

The teams furthest east they have played in the last few years has been the Chicago Bears and Buffalo Bills.

The preseason will be very important to the Broncos. They are a team that is looking to improve from a season ago.

With Tony Romo out of the picture, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch will battle for the starting job.

Each quarterback will need as many reps as they can.

Another thing that will be focused on is how Vance Joseph does during the game and adjusting. Plus we will get to see the Mike McCoy offense once again.

The fact that the NFL is having a special on the preseason schedule is pretty ridiculous in my opinion.

Stay tuned on April 10th as we find out who the Broncos will face in August for the preseason.
