Broncos sign RB Jamaal Charles
Tuesday, May 2, 2017, 6:03pmBroncos and Jamaal Charles now have agreed to terms, per source.
Charles wasn’t too efficient in 2016 (40 yards on 12 carries in three games), but he was coming off of a torn ACL, and eventually had to undergo another operation to get the meniscus trimmed in the same knee. He also had a “clean-up” procedure on his right knee. In his previous 20 games from 2014-15, he averaged 93.6 total yards on 16.9 touches en route to 18.1 FP per game. That’s more than what Devonta Freeman averaged as last year’s #6 RB. Charles turned 30 last December. If he's reasonably healthy, he'll serve as C.J. Anderson's backup. If he's fully healthy, he could easily win the job outright.
Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is a 'full-go' after shoulder surgery
Monday, April 10, 2017, 4:26pmVance Joseph said Broncos QB Trevor Siemian is a full-go. Cleared to participate in offseason program fully after left shoulder surgery in January.
The injury was to his non-throwing shoulder so it shouldn't affect his fantasy prospects heading into 2017. It looks like he is the favorite to start once again for the Broncos. Siemian averaged 13.6 fantasy points in 14 games, which makes him a low-end QB2 for fantasy purposes.
Broncos QB Trevor Siemian believed to have 'upper hand'
Saturday, April 8, 2017, 12:30pmNow that Tony Romo is out of the picture, the Denver Broncos' quarterback job is up for grabs between Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch.
Although coach Vance Joseph has preached an open competition between the incumbent starter and the 2016 first-round draft pick, Siemian remains the favorite to be under center in Week 1.
After speaking with Joseph, NFL Network's James Palmer told Omar Ruiz of Up to the Minute Live that Siemian has the "upper hand" entering the offseason program.
Siemian might have been widely viewed as a pet project of former coach Gary Kubiak, but the new coach has been impressed after taking an in-depth look at the 2016 game film. Despite subpar pass protection and an inconsistent ground attack, the Broncos coaching staff believes "he played very well last season," Palmer added. "They believe he played at a higher level than many assume," the rest of the story went on to say.
Broncos tab Mike McCoy as offensive coordinator
Wednesday, January 11, 2017, 11:49pmAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Mike McCoy, and former Oakland Raiders offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave were set to interview for the Denver Broncos' offensive coordinator vacancy this week. CSN's John Middlekauff reported Wednesday night that the Broncos' new coach, Vance Joseph, chose to hire McCoy.
McCoy wasn't playing with a full deck this year in San Diego with both Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead injured, but his offense still managed to post the 9th most points in the league. In fact, his offenses have finished in the top 10 in total yards in three of the last five seasons. This is a good hire for Denver, who are a quarterback (Tyrod Taylor?) away from a great offense.
Broncos tab Vance Joseph as head coach
Wednesday, January 11, 2017, 2:50pmThe Broncos are expected to offer Vance Joseph their head coaching job, according to 9News.com's Mike Klis. CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason La Canfora reported earlier in the week that Joseph was the front-runner for the job heading into the interview process. Joesph, who served as the Dolphins' defensive coordinator during the 2016 season, would replace Gary Kubiak, who retired a year after leading Denver to a title in Super Bowl 50.
Raiders expected to start Connor Cook at QB
Tuesday, January 3, 2017, 12:44pmFor the first time in the Super Bowl era, it appears a rookie quarterback will be making his first start in an NFL playoff game.
According to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport, the Oakland Raiders are moving forward with "the expectation that" Connor Cook is their projected starter for Saturday's matchup against the Houston Texans. Matt McGloin suffered an injury to his trapezius muscle in a season-ending loss to the Broncos and will not be ready.
Cook, in relief, completed 14 of 21 passes for 150 yards, a touchdown and an interception. McGloin was 6 of 11 for 21 yards. Some even felt that Cook looked like the better QB.
Broncos QB Trevor Siemian to have shoulder surgery
Tuesday, January 3, 2017, 9:26amBroncos quarterback Trevor Siemian missed a game this season after suffering an injury to his left, non-throwing shoulder and he’ll be taking care of lingering issues related to that injury this offseason.
Siemian said Monday that he will have surgery this week. Siemian said the operation is not a “major thing” and he’s expected to be fine in time for the start of offseason work in a few months.
“It’s optional surgery,” Siemian said, via KUSA. “It really only bothers me when I work out but I figure I’m going to have to keep working out for a while so I’m getting it fixed.”
Siemian missed one other game with a foot injury and ended his first year as a starter completing 59.5 percent of his passes for 3,401 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. General Manager John Elway said quarterback isn’t his biggest concern of this offseason thanks to the presence of Siemian and Paxton Lynch, but didn’t rule out exploring other options after missing the playoffs.
Patriot assistants are hot coaching candidates
Monday, January 2, 2017, 10:30amBoth Josh McDaniels -- and Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia -- have been among the hottest candidates for a head coaching gig this offseason. The 40-year-old McDaniels was previously a head coach for the Denver Broncos in 2009-2010.
After his first run as a head coach ended poorly, McDaniels eventually ended back up in New England, where the general attitude is that the talented offensive mind had taken strides in improving on the subtleties of the job that tripped him up in his first run as a head coach.
A source said McDaniels could have three interviews this week while the Patriots are on a bye.
HC Gary Kubiak tells Broncos he's stepping down
Monday, January 2, 2017, 10:11amThe Broncos announced Monday that coach Gary Kubiak informed the team that he officially stepped down.
"As I told our team last night, this is an extremely difficult decision to step down as head coach," Kubiak said in a statement. "I love to work and I love football, but ultimately the demands of the job are no longer a good fit for me."
Raiders QB Matt McGloin (shoulder) leaves Week 17
Sunday, January 1, 2017, 6:55pmThe playoff-bound Oakland Raiders are down to their third quarterback.
Rookie Connor Cook replaced Matt McGloin late in the second half of Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos after McGloin suffered a shoulder injury.
McGloin made his first start since 2013 on Sunday after starter Derek Carr suffered a broken fibula last week.
The Raiders were trailing 17-0 when Cook entered the game. McGloin was 6-for-11 with just 21 passing yards when he was injured. The team announced he was questionable to return in the second half. The Raiders would clinch the AFC West title and No. 2 seed with a win. With a loss and a Kansas City Chiefs win in San Diego, Oakland would instead be a wild-card team and play next week at Houston.

Report: Broncos HC Gary Kubiak considers retiring
Sunday, January 1, 2017, 8:12amA year removed from guiding the Broncos to a Super Bowl title, coach Gary Kubiak is considering to retire after Sunday's game, sources with knowledge of his thinking told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Kubiak's health has been a concern for a while, though he is said to be eating better and feeling much better, which is why he hasn't made a firm decision on his future, Rapoport reported.
Friday, December 30, 2016, 6:42pm

Friday, December 30, 2016, 6:42pm
Raiders WR Amari Cooper (shoulder, questionable) took limited practice reps all week and is questionable for Week 17. The Raiders are still looking to lock up a first round bye, so Cooper should be out there against the Broncos.
