Examining A Possible Extension For Chris Harris, Jr.

John Elway, wisely in my opinion, said that he would not address Chris Harris, Jr.’s contract until after the draft was over.

Why Did The Broncos Allow Matt Paradis To Leave Denver?

As you likely know by now, Matt Paradis is no longer a Bronco. In this article, I intend to scrutinize the events that led to this result, and to ask questions about how the Broncos let this happen, and where they stand on the offensive line after this move that they did not make.
