When
you think of the Denver Broncos you have to think of John Elway. Elway
and the Broncos won back to back Super Bowls in 1998 against the Green
Bay Packers and again in 1999 against the Atlanta
Falcons. The Broncos have been a solid team since there last Super
Bowl appearance in 1999 making the playoffs multiple times.In 2006
the Broncos just missed the NFL playoffs going 9-7. Jake Plummer was
benched for rookie Jay Cutler in week 13 who looks to be the new franchise
quarterback in Denver. Cutler went just 2-3 as a rookie in 2006 but
there is little doubt about the talent that this former first rounder
posses. Some weapons Cutler hopes to utilize in 2007 include Jevon
Walker, Brandon Marshall, and Brandon Stokley. The Broncos running
game looks to be in good shape anchored by previous 1,000 yard rusher
Travis Henry who came over from the Titans.
On defense the Broncos have a very good secondary as well with Champ
Baily, Dre Bly, and John Lynch. The Broncos could be in the NFL playoffs
in 2007. If they do not make it in, look for it to be close just like
in 2006.

Broncos - Team History
Denver Broncos, professional football team and one of five teams in
the Western Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) of
the National Football League (NFL). The Broncos play at Mile High
Stadium in Denver, Colorado, and wear uniforms of blue, orange, and
white.
Denver has been
one of the AFC’s most consistent teams since the mid-1970s.
From 1977 to 1999 the team reached the playoffs 13 times and the
Super Bowl six times. Longtime Broncos quarterback John Elway reached
the NFL’s all-time top five in career passing yards, quarterback
rushing yards, and completions. Former head coach Dan Reeves compiled
one of the highest winning percentages (.581) in NFL history during
his 12 seasons with the club.
Under head coach
Mike Shanahan, the Broncos captured the first Super Bowl championship
in the franchise’s history by defeating the Green Bay Packers
in 1998. The team returned to the Super Bowl in 1999 and defeated
the Atlanta Falcons.
The Broncos
became charter members of the American Football League (AFL) in
1960. Despite strong defensive units that included cornerback Goose
Gonsoulin and tackles Dave Costa and Bud McFadin, Denver’s
best AFL win-loss record was 7-7 in 1962.
The Broncos
joined the NFL when the NFL and AFL completed their merger in 1970.
In 1973 the Broncos posted a 7-5 win-loss record behind head coach
John Ralston, who won the coach of the year award. Running back
Floyd Little and wide receiver Riley Odoms powered the AFC’s
top-rated offense that year.
The Broncos
steadily improved through the 1970s and surprised the league in
1977 when they won a franchise-record 12 games behind head coach
Red Miller. The team captured its first-ever Western Division title
with the AFC’s top defense, which was anchored by end Lyle
Alzado, linebacker Randy Gradishar, and cornerback Louis Wright.
Quarterback Craig Morton piloted a steady offense, and the Broncos
advanced to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Dallas Cowboys.
Denver made the playoffs the following two seasons but fell in the
first round each time.
During the 11
years following the strike-shortened season of 1982, Denver made
7 postseason appearances. As a rookie, John Elway led the team to
a playoff berth in 1983 and to 13 victories in 1984. In the latter
year, wide receiver Steve Watson and running back Sammy Winder each
enjoyed 1,000-yard seasons. The club once again fielded the AFC’s
top defense, this time anchored by linebacker Karl Mecklenburg and
safety Dennis Smith.
Reeves guided
Denver to three Super Bowls in four years during the late 1980s,
but despite offensive units that featured Elway, running back Bobby
Humphrey, and receiver Vance Johnson, as well as consistently strong
defenses, the Broncos failed to earn an NFL championship.
During the mid-1990s
Denver remained a division power as the team’s offense added
wide receivers Shannon Sharpe and Anthony Miller and running back
Terrell Davis. The Broncos hired former San Francisco 49ers offensive
coordinator Mike Shanahan as head coach before the 1995 season.
A year later he guided Denver to 13 regular-season wins and an AFC
Western Division title. In the playoffs, however, the Broncos were
upset by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Denver finished
the 1997 season with a 12-4 win-loss record, earning a wild card
berth in the AFC playoffs. They bested the Jaguars, the Kansas City
Chiefs, and the Pittsburgh Steelers to advance to the Super Bowl.
In Super Bowl XXXII Denver defeated the Green Bay Packers 31-24.
The team was led by Davis, who rushed for 157 yards. In 1998 the
Broncos posted a 14-2 win-loss record during the regular season.
Denver defeated the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets to gain
its fifth Super Bowl appearance. In Super Bowl XXXIII, the Broncos
bested the Atlanta Falcons, 34-19. After the season, Elway retired.
1978 XII Lost
to Dallas Cowboys, 27-10
1987 XXI Lost to New York Giants, 39-20
1988 XXII Lost to Washington Redskins, 42-10
1990 XXIV Lost to San Francisco 49ers, 55-10
1998 XXXII Defeated Green Bay Packers, 31-24
1999 XXXIII Defeated Atlanta Falcons, 34-19
<p>Brandon Marshall is not yet a Seahawk and likely won't become a Bengal, and the Broncos have to be wondering what will happen with the Pro Bowl receiver.</p>
<p>The Broncos have said all along that Marshall could return, but then offered him just a first-round tender. That was a clear indication the Broncos were ready to move on if a team wanted to give them a first-round pick. </p>
<p>Finding a suitor hasn't been that easy. Seattle had Marshall in for a visit right away, but didn't sign him to an offer sheet, and didn't appear on the verge of doing so. The price would be steep.</p>

DENVER - The group of Denver Broncos players arrived at the Safari nightclub to celebrate New Year's Eve and was whisked inside by bouncers. One of the dozens of people waiting in line to get in - an alleged Tre-Tre Crips gang member - took exception.
The Denver Broncos have re-signed defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith and released starting inside linebacker Andra Davis. Smith is a fifth-year pro who played in 11 games in his first season in Denver last year after he was acquired from New England in a trade Aug. 17. He started twice. In 42 career regular season games, Smith has had 19 tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.

How each of the 32 NFL teams are approaching Friday's opening of free agency with no salary cap: AFC BALTIMORE RAVENS Ravens don't intend to be thrifty. In quest to enhance roster, especially at wide receiver, Ravens expect to benefit from cost-cutting measures by other teams. "There will be some real good players that are going to get cut," general manager Ozzie Newsome said.
DENVER - A former inmate who was in jail with the man accused of killing Denver Broncos cornerback Darrent Williams testified that the suspect boasted about putting Williams "to sleep."
The Denver Broncos are doing everything they can to keep Pro Bowl pass rusher Elvis Dumervil in blue and orange. Brandon Marshall, not so much. On Wednesday, the Broncos slapped a first- and third-round tender on Dumervil, who led the league in sacks last season. Other teams would have to surrender those two levels of picks in the upcoming draft if they signed the restricted free agent who stands to...
