Check out these highlights of new Broncos WR Josh Reynolds

The Broncos are adding an underrated wide receiver on offense. Check out these Josh Reynolds highlights.

The Denver Broncos agreed to terms on a two-year deal with free agent wide receiver Josh Reynolds on Wednesday.

Reynolds is now set to join a wide receiver room that includes Courtland Sutton, Tim Patrick and Marvin Mims (among others).

Before joining the Broncos, Reynolds spent three and a half years with the Detroit Lions, half a season with the Tennessee Titans and four years with the Los Angeles Rams. Here are some highlights from Reynolds’ time in Detroit:

Reynolds, 29, has totaled 220 receptions for 2,933 yards and 19 touchdowns in 107 career games (53 starts). Last year, Reynolds posted the second-most receptions (40) and receiving yards (608) of his career and he tied a career high with five touchdown catches.

Check out these highlights of new Broncos LB Cody Barton

Here some highlights of new Broncos linebacker Cody Barton from his time with the Seahawks and Commanders.

The Denver Broncos agreed to terms on a one-year contract with linebacker Cody Barton on Friday night.

Before landing in Denver, Barton previously started 16 games with the Seattle Seahawks (2019-2022) and 13 games with the Washington Commanders (2023). Here are some clips from his time with the Commanders last season:

And here are some highlights from his time with the Seahawks:

And here’s footage from both Seattle and DC:

Barton, 27, has totaled 352 tackles (including eight behind the line of scrimmage), nine pass breakups, seven quarterback hits, three interceptions, two sacks, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 78 career games (29 starts). He has started 24 games over the last two seasons.

After losing Josey Jewell to the Carolina Panthers during NFL free agency, the Broncos signed Barton, presumably as a replacement. The sixth-year linebacker will be the favorite to start next to Alex Singleton in 2024, but Jonas Griffith will also get an opportunity to compete for a spot this summer. Denver’s depth at the position gets a big boost with Barton’s arrival.

Check out these highlights of new Broncos safety Brandon Jones

Brandon Jones is fun to watch blitzing from the slot. The Broncos are adding an exciting safety to the defense.

The Denver Broncos reached an agreement on a three-year, $20 million contract with safety Brandon Jones on Monday.

The deal will not become official until the NFL’s new league year begins on Wednesday, but Jones has already confirmed he’s joining the Broncos.

Jones (6-1, 191 pounds) is a play-making safety who excels as a pass rusher. Yes, that’s right, he’s a safety who can get after the quarterback. Often lining up in the box, Jones has been utilized as a blitzer, recording eight sacks through his first three seasons in the NFL.

Here are some of Jones’ highlights from his time with the Miami Dolphins, including a strip-sack in the first clip:

And some more highlights:

(If the above video is blocked on your device, you can watch it on YouTube.)

Jones (25) will join a safety room that already includes Caden Sterns (24) and P.J. Locke (27). After releasing Justin Simmons (30) to save salary cap space earlier this week, the Broncos are now younger in the secondary going into the 2024 season.

These (very serious) signs point to the Broncos drafting J.J. McCarthy (wink)

We’re not superstitious, but we are a little stitious, and signs point to the Broncos drafting quarterback J.J. McCarthy in April.

When it comes to predicting future Denver Broncos quarterbacks, we’re not superstitious, but we are a little stitious.

Consequently, two recent developments have caught our eye.

First, CBS Sports did an interview with J.J. McCarthy where they had him pick one of four photos in a series of five slides. McCarthy picked two Rocky Mountain-related answers, plus a Mountain Bluebird answer.

The result? CBS declared McCarthy’s answers matched “100% the Denver Broncos.” The Michigan quarterback did not seem opposed to the idea.

“I love everything about that state,” McCarthy said. “Obviously, Denver’s a great football town. But, hey, let’s go up in the mountains and really, ya know, get gritty up there.”

OK, that’s not conclusive, you say? Well, there’s more.

Colorado legislature recently “introduced a bill that would give us the authority to reintroduce the North American wolverine to Colorado,” the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Twitter account announced Tuesday.

McCarthy, of course, just won a national championship with the Michigan Wolverines. Coincidence?

The Northeast Region of CPW insists that they have no say in who the Broncos draft, but can we truly believe them?

“To be clear, this does not necessarily mean J.J. McCarthy is coming to Colorado,” CPW NE Region tweeted. “We have no say in draft picks for the Broncos.”

Let’s just say we’re skeptical.

As for the Broncos, general manager George Paton was asked about McCarthy at the NFL combine last month.

“He’s a good player, just like seven or eight other quarterbacks,” Paton said on Feb. 27. “We’re still working through the process. Obviously, he’s a winner. He’s won a lot. He has talent. So I look forward to spending time with him.” 

Denver’s staff met with McCarthy in Indianapolis about a week after Paul Allen reported that Broncos coach Sean Payton is believed to be “quite enamored” with the Michigan quarterback.

Denver currently holds six draft picks, including 12th overall in the first round. The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.

Watch Peyton Manning’s hilarious Zoom call with ‘ManningCast’ guests

Peyton Manning invited guests of the ‘ManningCast’ to roast Eli Manning. It did not go according to plan 😅

After the 2023 season wrapped up for the ManningCast, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning invited guests from the show to a Zoom call so they could praise the ManningCast and roast Peyton’s brother, Eli.

Peyton’s scheme did not go according to plan.

“ESPN asked for a Season 3 congratulations video, but I’d rather you all just make fun of Eli,” Peyton says at the beginning of the conference call.

Will Ferrell then chimes in to say his “bumbling, fumbling newscaster” Ron Burgundy character is brought to life every week on the ManningCast. Not exactly what Peyton had in mind.

Jimmy Kimmel then said he would never return to the show. Klay Thompson later struggles to think of something Peyton or Eli are good at.

Lindsey Vonn later calls Peyton a “jackass.” Mike Vick tries to explain to Peyton that the guests all like Eli, but Peyton won’t hear it. Eli ultimately crashes the conference call, prompting Peyton to reveal his final (highly edited) product:

Classic.

Peyton and Eli will return for Season 4 of the ManningCast in 2024.

Watch all of Sean Payton’s interviews from Super Bowl media week

Sean Payton spoke with several media outlets at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas over the weekend. Watch those interviews here.

After making the rounds at Super Bowl media week last year, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton returned to the Big Game for another round of interviews at this year’s Super Bowl.

Payton, 60, is entering his second season with the Broncos after going 8-9 in 2023. He will hope to get the team back on track in 2024, presumably with a new quarterback.

Payton was representing Zebra Sports as a spokesperson for the company’s RFID technology that tracks athlete performance. After a dozen interviews in 2023, we found six interviews this year (if we missed any, let us know).

Topics included the status of quarterback Russell Wilson (of course) and quarterback prospects in the 2024 NFL draft. You can watch each interview below.

Watch: Duke women’s golfer Phoebe Brinker makes full-court putt during Boston College game

Duke golfer Phoebe Brinker, who was being celebrated for her invite to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur, wowed the Cameron Indoor crowd with a crazy full-court putt on Saturday

Duke women’s golf senior Phoebe Brinker was brought onto the court during the Blue Devils men’s basketball game against Boston College on Saturday, and she left a fun memory for every fan in attendance.

Brinker and her teammate, Emma McMyler, were being celebrated for their invite to the Augusta National Women’s Amateur in early April.

The Blue Devils asked the star golfers to try and make a full-court putt across the court during the halftime break.

Brinker proceeded to do exactly what you’d expect one of the best collegiate golfers in the country to do in that situation. She drained it, earning a big cheer from the home crowd.

Duke fans will get to see Brinker and McMyler in action for the Augusta National Women’s Amateur during the first weekend of April. It will be Brinker’s third appearance in the event.

The women’s golf team gets back into action next weekend with the Moon Golf Invitational in Melbourne, Florida. The tournament will be played from February 18-20.

Peyton and Eli’s skit for the Pro Bowl is the best video you’ll watch today

Peyton and Eli’s intro skit for the Pro Bowl was more entertaining than the actual game 😅

Following a suggestion from Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson, the NFL switched the annual Pro Bowl from a “tackle” game to a flag football format beginning with the 2023 edition.

Peyton Manning and his company Omaha Productions then pitched an idea of Peyton (AFC) and Eli Manning (NFC) coaching their respective conferences and “reimagining” the all-star activities as the “Pro Bowl Games.” The NFL loved the idea.

In addition to switching to a flag football game, the “Pro Bowl Games” also now include skills competitions that are added to a cumulative final score.

Last year’s inaugural event was a huge success as the NFC defeated the AFC 35-33 and Eli and Peyton were wildly entertaining. The NFL really leaned into the brother rivalry ahead of this year’s game with a hilarious promo that featured Peyton and Eli preparing for the 2024 Pro Bowl.

“I haven’t lost any sleep over it,” Peyton says of last year’s loss before the camera flashes to the former QB literally losing sleep over it.

It’s a classic Peyton skit:

The Pro Bowl’s new format has drawn mixed reviews, but most fans and pundits agree that Peyton and Eli have made it more entertaining.

Here are the top highlights from Season 3 of the ‘ManningCast’

Here are the best moments from the third season of the ‘ManningCast.’

The Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, have stayed busy since retiring from playing quarterback in the NFL. They launched their ESPN Monday Night Football commentary show, the ManningCast in the fall of 2021, and it has since become a big hit.

The Manning brothers use their football and natural brotherly humor to commentate on the game and its happenings while also bringing on guests for interviews as the game transpires.

Some memorable moments covered in the video below are the interview with Ryan Fitzpatrick, Desmond Howard’s appearance during the Las Vegas Raiders vs. the Green Bay Packers matchup, and even Peyton showcasing to Eli how quarterbacks such as Aaron Rodgers would call signals during the game.

Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions has kept the legendary quarterback busy, where, alongside his brother, his company has ManningCast, Peyton’s Places, Eli’s Places, and several other shows. To check out the highlights of Season 3 of ManningCast, check out the below video.

WATCH: Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco gives Kansas City late lead vs. Bills

#Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco scored a rushing touchdown to give Kansas City a late lead over the #Bills.

The Kansas City Chiefs got out to a late lead over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night when running back Isiah Pacheco scored a clutch fourth-quarter touchdown.

Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes drove the Chiefs’ offense downfield just before the third-quarter whistle and hit rookie wide receiver Rashee Rice for a quick gain that set Kansas City up near the end zone when play resumed.

Pacheco got the ball on first and goal and powered the ball past the goal line to give the Chiefs a two-point advantage.

Harrison Butker nailed the extra point after Pacheco’s touchdown scamper, which pushed Kansas City’s lead to three points.

This game has gone back and forth all night, and if the first three quarters were any indication, the outcome is far from decided.

The Chiefs have proven that they can score touchdowns against Buffalo’s ailing defense, and with a little over 10 minutes to play, the game could go either way.
