Denver Broncos: Contract players in the Super Bowl
The Denver Broncos have a lot of contract players in the Super Bowl this year. What does the future hold for this team?
There was a great quote from Ed Helms’ character Andy Bernard from the hit TV show The Office as the series came to a close where he said, “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.”
If you’re a big fan of the show, it was at that line that the tears started to flow, and it’s precisely the reason I write this piece today. The Denver Broncos are in the ‘good old days’ at least for this generation. The last generation watched the team win two Super Bowls in a row as John Elway rode off into the sunset. The Broncos have been competitive pretty much every single year since then, but the Super Bowl titles have been elusive.
They now have a chance, and with a very talented group of players.
Because of the way the salary cap works in the NFL, this is undoubtedly the last time we’ll see this group together as a whole. There are always big changes in the NFL this year, but when you read this list, you’ll note the number of Broncos players that could legitimately be on the way out this offseason, and you’ll realize that right now, we’re in the ‘good old days’ in Broncos Country.
Here are all of the major players set for unrestricted free agency after Sunday’s game.
