Denver Broncos return for offseason activities

The Denver Broncos have returned to team headquarters for offseason activities, missing only a few, including Super Bowl MVP Von Miller…

Your drought of Denver Broncos football has finally ended…sort of.

The Broncos aren’t back to football activities, but the team we know and love is back in Denver, working at getting themselves ready for a run at Super Bowl 51.

Perhaps the most interesting thing to happen at Monday’s OTAs was the appearance of Brandon Marshall, who was said to be a likely holdout not having signed his RFA tender yet. Marshall came back to work with the rest of his teammates, though at this point we haven’t heard what his thought process is behind it yet.

Of course, none of us really care. We’re just happy to see him around.

Last year, the Broncos got to work with the theme of ‘Iron Sharpens Iron’ and this year they have ‘Into the Fire’ as the mantra.

We also got a first look at new players like Russell Okung and returning injured players like Ty Sambrailo, last year’s second round pick. The Broncos will be leaning on these two guys heavily this year to bolster the left side of the offensive line…

The Broncos also divvied out new jersey numbers for most of the new players, and quarterback Mark Sanchez is listed as wearing jersey no. 6. That number was last worn by Brock Osweiler in 2012 when he was a rookie.

Before that, the number was made infamous by Jay Cutler.

Sanchez wasn’t donning his new jersey today, but he was present and ready for work as expected…

Aqib Talib spoke to the media after the team’s workout session on Monday, and we’ll have quotes from that later on today…
