I thought Krieger was on point

And there’s no small amount of love and recognition for MHR in his article as well. It will be interesting, if not completely nerve-wracking, to see who blinks first.

today is a big day for the Broncos

We should see some FA signings, and possibly pick up a couple of the players that are on waivers today.

Hat Tip to Jeremy Bolander for some DP love

Via Kreiger – “This provision of the new collective bargaining agreement was first reported locally by the Mile High Report, a Broncos blog that quoted the relevant portion of the as-yet- unpublished CBA. It will ease salary cap pressure on a number of teams, but few more so than the Broncos because of their high player turnover in the past couple of years.”

Awesome

Most reliable source for Broncos news there is. Couldn’t be happier to belong to a blog that knows more about football than the NFL Network and Denver Post. Simply awesome.

None of us go out and play for stats. You just do whatever you can to help the team out. -- Eddie Royal
