Denver Broncos slowly beginning to have key advantages
The Denver Broncos are undergoing massive change within their organization, and it’s beginning to display some key advantages over other organizations.
The Denver Broncos are changing and changing for the better.
When general manager George Paton took over to begin the 2021 offseason, he was replacing long-time general manager and front office executive, John Elway. Paton has brought a massive breath of fresh air to the organization.
He’s prioritized drafting well, retaining players to maintain the culture, and has shown strong activity in the trade and free-agent markets.
He’s a modern-day general manager. He isn’t limiting himself to certain options; he explores every route and has hardly missed a step.
He also infused some youth into the organization, hitting on key rookies in the draft, highlighted by Patrick Surtain II, Javonte Williams, and Quinn Meinerz, and dumped long-time NFL defensive genius Vic Fangio for a high energy, 42-year-old offensive mind.
Paton has recognized the trends of the NFL. He sees that the game is becoming more offensively centered, and hired an offensive-minded head coach as a result. The Super Bowl is set to feature 2 young, offensive head coaches.
The NFL is a copycat league, and Paton is following the trends, as he should.
Both John Elway and Joe Ellis are poised to no longer be with the team in 2022. Ellis said he would not seek a contract extension, and Elway all but guaranteed he wouldn’t be with the team like he has been.
The Denver Broncos are also set to be sold before the end of the calendar year.
After decades of Bowlen excellence, 10 years of Elway management, and over 20 years of Ellis front office presence, the Denver Broncos organization is changing, and for the better.
The team will be sold, and the front office needs to be rebuilt.
Looking at what is going to happen throughout the summer and into the 2022 NFL season, I can’t help but think that all of this change for Denver is for the better.
The roster has just 1 holdover from Super Bowl 50; Brandon McManus is the lone player from that amazing year, and the youth present on both sides of the ball is inspiring.
George Paton, going into 2022, has a plethora of cap space and draft picks at his disposal.
He showed how skilled he is at drafting, and has nearly $50 million in cap space to spend.
