The Denver Broncos have been busy making moves in the offseason as they prepare for the 2023 NFL season. Here's a roundup of the latest news surrounding the team:
Broncos Hire Nathaniel Hackett as Head Coach
After parting ways with former head coach Vic Fangio, the Broncos announced that they've hired Nathaniel Hackett as their new head coach. Hackett previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers and is known for his creative play-calling and ability to develop young quarterbacks. He'll be tasked with turning around a Broncos team that has missed the playoffs for the past six seasons.
Von Miller Signs with Los Angeles Rams
One of the Broncos' longtime stars, Von Miller, has signed with the Los Angeles Rams in free agency. Miller had spent his entire career in Denver and was a key member of the Broncos' Super Bowl-winning team in 2016. While his departure is a blow to the Broncos' defense, the team will look to fill the void with younger players.
Teddy Bridgewater Traded to Broncos
In a move to bolster their quarterback depth, the Broncos traded for Teddy Bridgewater from the Carolina Panthers. Bridgewater is expected to compete with Drew Lock for the starting quarterback job, and the two players are seen as having contrasting styles of play. Bridgewater is known for his accuracy and ability to make quick decisions, while Lock has a big arm and is more of a gunslinger.
Broncos Sign Several Free Agents
The Broncos have been active in free agency, signing several players to help improve their roster. Among the notable signings are cornerback Ronald Darby, linebacker Kyle Van Noy, and offensive tackle Cam Robinson. Darby and Van Noy should provide a boost to the Broncos' defense, while Robinson will help protect whoever ends up starting at quarterback.
Broncos' Schedule Released
The NFL recently released the schedule for the 2023 season, and the Broncos will face some tough opponents. Among their notable games are matchups against the Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders, and Dallas Cowboys. The Broncos will also play in three prime-time games, including a Monday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That's a wrap on the latest Denver Broncos news! As always, it'll be interesting to see how the team performs this season and whether they can make it back to the playoffs.
