Farrar breaks down why Waddle’s speed, separation, and YAC ability could turn the middle of the field into a playground for Nix and Davis Webb’s offense.
The fellas also dive into how Waddle fits Sean Payton’s system, how defenses will have to adjust, and whether this move positions Denver for a true offensive breakout in 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to Mel Kiper Jr. telling Mase that only three running backs may come off the board in the first three rounds. If that projection from the ESPN analyst holds, what does it mean for the Broncos? And how it could reshape their draft strategy after a quiet free‑agency period at the position? The fellas dig into whether running back is now a must‑address spot in the 2026 NFL Draft, especially with Denver holding a valuable fourth‑round pick that could line up perfectly with the board. Will Arkansas RB Mike Washington still be available there, or is he rising too fast. Should the Broncos instead swing earlier and target Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price in Round 2, giving the team the added threat of another dynamic returner? Or perhaps target Washington RB Jonah Coleman, giving Sean Payton a powerful, three‑down tone‑setter. With limited veteran options left and uncertainty around the current depth chart, the draft might be Denver’s best — and only — path to upgrading the backfield. 🔥 In this episode: Mel Kiper’s projection: only three RBs in Rounds 1–3 Does this make RB a must‑draft position for Denver Will Mike Washington be on the board in Round 4 Should the Broncos target Jonah Coleman in Round 2 How the RB class aligns with Denver’s draft capital and needs Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which running back YOU want the Broncos to target in April.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the big question after Denver’s blockbuster move: Where does the new duo of Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton rank among the NFL’s best? With Waddle’s elite speed and Sutton’s size‑and‑strength profile, do the Broncos suddenly have a top‑five wide‑receiver pairing. How close are they to the gold standard — Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, the league’s premier duo. The fellas dig into how Waddle changes the geometry of the offense, how Sutton benefits from finally having a true field‑tilter opposite him, and whether this combination can push Denver toward one of the most dangerous passing attacks in the NFL. With Bo Nix entering Year 3, is this the moment the Broncos’ aerial game takes off. 🔥 In this episode: Where Sutton & Waddle rank among the NFL’s top WR duos How close they are to Chase & Higgins at No. 1 Why Waddle’s arrival could unlock Sutton’s best football Could Denver now field one of the league’s top passing offenses What this means for Bo Nix’s development in Year 2 Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us where YOU rank Sutton and Waddle among the NFL’s elite duos.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the blockbuster: Jaylen Waddle is officially a Denver Bronco. The price was steep — a 1st‑round pick, 3rd‑round pick, and 4th‑round pick in exchange for Waddle and a fourth — so did the Broncos give up too much, or is this exactly the kind of aggressive move the offense needed. The fellas dig into what the expectations should be for Waddle now that he’s in orange and blue. Is he immediately the true No. 1 receiver over Courtland Sutton. How does his elite speed, separation, and YAC ability reshape Sean Payton’s passing game. And what does the Sutton‑Waddle pairing look like on the field — complementary, redundant, or downright dangerous. With free agency quiet and the fanbase restless, Denver finally made a splash. Now the question becomes: did they land a star who elevates Bo Nix, or did they overpay for a luxury. 🔥 In this episode: Did Denver give up too much to acquire Jaylen Waddle What expectations should be placed on Waddle as a Bronco Is Waddle now the clear WR1 over Courtland Sutton How the Sutton‑Waddle duo fits in Sean Payton’s offense Why Denver felt pressure to make a major move Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us whether Waddle was worth the price Denver paid.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into three over‑30 veterans who could still give the Broncos meaningful help in free agency. Denver hasn’t added an outside free agent yet, but with a roster built to compete and a few soft spots still lingering, should the Broncos look to seasoned pros who can stabilize key positions. From Calais Campbell, the Denver legend who’s still producing at age 39… to Zach Ertz, a proven pass‑catching tight end recovering from injury… to Jonathan Owens, a high‑end special‑teams ace — the fellas break down who fits, who helps, and who could actually move the needle for a team trying to climb back into contention. Plus, how does Denver’s current roster shape the urgency to add veterans, and which position should be the priority if the Broncos decide to dip into the 30‑plus market. 🔥 In this episode: Should the Broncos target veteran free agents over 30 Why Calais Campbell still makes sense as a DL leader and producer Zach Ertz as a TE upgrade — is the risk worth the reward Jonathan Owens as a special‑teams boost and depth safety Why Denver’s roster strength could attract ring‑chasing vets Which position should be the priority for a veteran addition Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which 30‑plus veteran YOU want the Broncos to sign.
The Broncos re-signed Jaleel McLaughlin on Friday, but that wasn't the big news of the day; instead, it was the decision to create more cap space by creating void years on the contracts of Jonathon Cooper and Quinn Meinerz and Jonathon Cooper -- as well as the word that Travis Etienne was WOOED by the Broncos before joining the Saints. What does all this mean? Are the Broncos going to get back in the hunt for playmakers? Andrew Mason breaks it down on this edition of Orange and Blue Today!
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason takes time to reassess where the Broncos stand. With the Seattle Seahawks agreeing to terms with former Indianapolis Colts safety Rodney Thomas, the Broncos will officially be the final team to add an outside free agent, as they still haven't brought in anyone from another team just yet. With the first wave of free agency wrapping up, will the Broncos' strategy prove to be a sound one? Plus, Denver keeps wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey; how did this move make you feel? 🔥 In this episode: Diving into the Humphrey re-signing; Does the Broncos' form in one-score games last year reveal that they need to do more than just stand pat? Is the "rookie contract" window for a QB really the be-all, end-all of contention? Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us how you feel about the Broncos' approach, and who you'd like to see them add in the near future.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into the remaining offensive weapons the Broncos could still add to help Bo Nix take the next step. Free agency hasn’t delivered the fireworks fans hoped for, but there are still intriguing playmakers on the board — and Denver might not be done hunting. Could the Broncos make a run at Deebo Samuel, the ultimate run‑after‑the‑catch monster who could instantly unlock the middle of the field for Nix. Is Dallas Goedert the best overall player Denver could still sign, giving Sean Payton a true all‑purpose tight end. What about Jauan Jennings, a tough, physical chain‑mover who fits the Broncos’ identity. And is Christian Kirk the veteran slot weapon this offense has been missing. Plus, Denver keeps another tight end in the building as Lucas Krull re‑signs — what does that mean for the TE room and the team’s overall plan at pass catcher. 🔥 In this episode: Are there still legit weapons available for Bo Nix Why Deebo Samuel could be the perfect YAC threat for Payton’s offense Is Dallas Goedert the best free agent the Broncos could land Jauan Jennings and Christian Kirk as realistic WR additions Lucas Krull re‑signs — what it means for the TE depth chart How these options shape Denver’s offensive blueprint for 2026 Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which weapon YOU want the Broncos to add for Bo Nix.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason tackle the rising frustration across Broncos Country as fans vent about Denver’s quiet approach to free agency. Outside of re‑signing their own players, the Broncos haven’t made the splashy moves many expected — and the fanbase is heated. But is the anger actually justified. Are the expectations realistic. And is the front office playing a longer, smarter game than people want to admit. The fellas break down what Denver could still do, which positions remain open for upgrades, and why patience might be painful but purposeful. They also explore the remaining free‑agent options, potential trade avenues, and how the Broncos’ strategy lines up with their draft board. 🔥 In this episode: Why Broncos fans are upset — and whether the frustration is fair Did Denver make a mistake by staying quiet in free agency What moves the Broncos can still make before the draft How the team’s approach aligns with long‑term roster building Which positions remain glaring needs heading into April Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us whether Denver’s quiet free agency is smart strategy or a missed opportunity.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down a busy stretch of roster moves that reshaped the Broncos’ offseason strategy. Denver missed out on every major RB target — Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs, Tyler Allgeier to the Cardinals, Travis Etienne to the Saints — and instead brought back JK Dobbins on a two‑year deal. Is that enough to stabilize the backfield, or does his extensive injury history keep the position firmly on the needs list. Then the fellas dive into the defensive shake‑up: the Broncos released Dre Greenlaw and re‑signed Alex Singleton, meaning Denver’s projected starting ILBs are now Singleton and Justin Strnad. With a loaded ILB class in this year’s draft, does this push linebacker up the board. Did Denver just tip its hand. They also explore whether the Broncos are truly done at running back, what the buzz around Jaleel McLaughlin means, and whether an Alvin Kamara trade becomes more realistic now that New Orleans replaced him with Etienne. 🔥 In this episode: Broncos miss on Walker, Allgeier, and Etienne — settle on JK Dobbins Is Denver done at RB, or is another move coming Dobbins’ injury history and the risk Denver is taking Greenlaw released, Singleton re‑signed — Strnad now a starter How this impacts Denver’s draft board in a strong ILB class Could the Broncos still trade for Alvin Kamara Drop your thoughts in the comments and tell us which move Denver still needs to make before the draft.
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into the growing buzz around Jarrett Stidham, as reports surface that multiple QB‑needy teams have interest in trading for him. Should the Broncos actually move their backup to Bo Nix. Can you realistically upgrade from Stidham if you deal him away. And after his struggles in the AFC Championship Game, can Denver truly trust him as the No. 2 going into 2026.
The fellas break down the risk, the reward, and the ripple effects of a potential Stidham trade — including what it means for the quarterback room, roster construction, and Sean Payton’s comfort level behind Nix.
Then they dive into Jordan Reid’s latest two‑round mock draft, where he has the Broncos landing a defender and a playmaker. What do those picks say about Denver’s priorities. How do they fit the roster. And do the Broncos need to be more aggressive if they want to land a true difference‑maker.
🔥 In this episode:
Teams showing interest in Jarrett Stidham — should Denver trade him
Can the Broncos upgrade their QB2 if they move Stidham
How much trust remains after Stidham’s AFC Championship struggles
Jordan Reid’s new mock: a defender and a playmaker for Denver
How those picks reshape the Broncos’ draft strategy
If Stidham draws a real offer, do you think Denver should cash in — or keep him as Bo Nix insurance?
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down the three biggest takeaways for the Denver Broncos coming out of the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine — and each one could reshape the team’s draft board. The headline belongs to Kenyon Sadiq, who delivered a historic workout and may have just pushed himself completely out of Denver’s range at pick No. 30. The guys dig into how high Sadiq could realistically go, whether the Broncos would need to trade up to have a shot, and what his meteoric rise means for the tight end plan. Next up: Mike Washington, who posted the fastest 40-yard dash of any running back at the Combine. Did he just sprint out of the third-round conversation. Is he now a second‑rounder — or even higher — and does that change how Denver approaches the RB class after showing interest in multiple prospects. Finally, the Broncos’ intentions at inside linebacker couldn’t be clearer. After meeting with a deep group of ILBs in Indianapolis, the fellas break down what that focus says about the roster, the veterans, and how early Denver might strike at the position. 🔥 In this episode: Kenyon Sadiq’s historic workout — and whether he’s now out of Denver’s reach How high Sadiq could climb after the Combine Mike Washington’s blazing 40 and his new draft projection Why ILB is suddenly a major Broncos priority How these three takeaways reshape Denver’s draft strategy Which takeaway do you think impacts the Broncos’ draft board the most heading into March?
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down how the NFL franchise tag deadline reshapes the Broncos’ offseason — especially at running back. The Jets tagged Breece Hall, officially removing him from Denver’s free‑agent board unless the Broncos want to surrender two first‑round picks to pry him loose. That’s not happening… so where does Denver turn now. The big headline: the Seahawks did NOT tag Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker, instantly making him one of the most explosive names on the market. Is Walker now the top target for Sean Payton. Would Denver actually make a big‑ticket move at running back after emphasizing value and committee approaches in recent years. And if Walker becomes the priority, what does that mean for re‑signing J.K. Dobbins, who flashed but never fully stayed healthy in 2025. The fellas dig into how aggressive Denver wants to be, how Walker fits with RJ Harvey, and whether the Broncos are ready to invest heavily in a position they’ve been hesitant to spend on. 🔥 In this episode: Jets tag Breece Hall — what it means for Denver’s RB plans Seahawks let Kenneth Walker hit the market — is he Denver’s No. 1 target Will the Broncos make a big move at RB or stay value‑focused How adding Walker would impact J.K. Dobbins’ future What the RB landscape looks like after the tag deadline If Denver does go big at running back, is Walker the move — or is there another back you’d rather see them chase?
On this special OBT2 edition of Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into the Broncos’ biggest defensive question of the offseason: what happens at inside linebacker. Will Denver re‑sign Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton, or is Sean Payton preparing for a reset at the position. And with Dre Greenlaw carrying a significant cap number, is he a legitimate cut candidate as the Broncos reshape their defense for 2026. Live from the NFL Scouting Combine, Mase breaks down Denver’s meetings with a deep group of ILB prospects — Josiah Trotter, Jacob Rodriguez, Sonny Styles, CJ Allen, and Jake Golday — and what that level of interest says about the team’s long‑term plans. If the Broncos move on from veterans, this draft class may hold their next defensive leader. 🔥 In this episode: Will Denver re‑sign Justin Strnad and Alex Singleton Is Dre Greenlaw a real cap‑casualty candidate Why the Broncos are meeting with so many ILB prospects Breakdowns on Trotter, Rodriguez, Styles, Allen, and Golday How Denver’s ILB room could look completely different in 2026 Is this the year the Broncos overhaul inside linebacker — or do they run it back.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into one of the biggest challenges Sean Payton says teams are facing right now: scouting players in the NIL era. With college athletes staying in school longer, transferring more often, and making business‑driven decisions that didn’t exist a few years ago, Payton explains why evaluating prospects has become more complicated — and why teams must adapt or get left behind. The fellas break down how NIL has reshaped the scouting landscape, from older draft classes to players switching systems multiple times, and how that affects projection, maturity, and long‑term development. They also explore what this means for the Broncos’ approach at the Combine and in the 2026 NFL Draft, where understanding a player’s path is now just as important as understanding his tape. 🔥 In this episode: Sean Payton on why NIL has changed scouting forever How transfers and extra eligibility complicate evaluations Why teams must dig deeper into character, motivation, and fit How NIL‑era prospects impact Denver’s draft strategy What the Broncos are looking for at the Combine in 2026 The NIL era has changed the game — and the Broncos must evolve with it.
On this special OBT2 edition of Orange & Blue Today, Andrew Mason checks in live from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis with fresh insight from Sean Payton and George Paton. Payton addressed the big storyline right away — Bo Nix’s ankle surgery — clarifying the timeline, the recovery, and why there’s no concern inside the building. He also emphasized the Broncos’ need to force more turnovers on defense and shared his thoughts on the running back room, hinting at what Denver may (or may not) do this offseason. George Paton also spoke at the Combine, and his comments were just as revealing. He said the Broncos are happy with RJ Harvey, raising the question: does that mean no early‑round running back in the draft. And with free agency approaching, are the Broncos gearing up to be aggressive players, or will they stay disciplined and targeted. 🔥 In this episode: Sean Payton clears the air on Bo Nix’s ankle surgery Why Payton wants more defensive turnovers in 2026 Payton’s thoughts on the RB room and offseason needs George Paton says they’re “happy with RJ Harvey” — what that really means Will Denver draft a RB early or focus on free agency instead Live Combine insight from Andrew Mason in Indianapolis What’s the Broncos’ real plan after the Combine — and how does it shape 2026.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to the biggest headline from Sean Payton’s Scouting Combine session: Davis Webb will call plays for the Broncos in 2026. It’s the clearest sign yet that Payton is evolving the structure of his offense — and trusting his young coordinator to bring fresh ideas, tempo, and adaptability to a unit built around Bo Nix. The fellas break down what this shift means for the offense’s identity, how Webb’s voice and style differ from Payton’s, and why this could be a major boost for Bo Nix’s Year 3 leap. With Webb now controlling the flow, rhythm, and sequencing on Sundays, the Broncos may unlock a more QB‑friendly system that maximizes Nix’s processing, accuracy, and mobility. 🔥 In this episode: - Why Sean Payton is handing play‑calling to Davis Webb - How Webb’s style could modernize and streamline the offense - What this means for Bo Nix’s development in Year 3 - How the Broncos’ offensive identity may shift in 2026 - Why this move signals long‑term trust in Webb and Nix Is Davis Webb calling plays the spark Bo Nix needs — or a gamble for Payton’s offense.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down a simple but crucial question for the Broncos: which players actually help Bo Nix the most in 2026. The fellas start with Jaleel McLaughlin, who’s set to be a restricted free agent. Should Denver tender him and keep his explosive change‑of‑pace ability in the building, or is it time to reshape the RB room around bigger bodies and more complete backs. They also dive into the tight end conversation, including whether the Broncos still need Adam Trautman, a dominant blocker who offers little as a receiver but remains a Sean Payton favorite. And then there’s the big headline: Pro Football Focus’ latest mock draft has Denver selecting Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq in the first round. Would Sadiq be the true difference‑maker who elevates Bo Nix’s Year 3 leap — and is tight end the right position to target at No. 30. 🔥 In this episode: Should Denver tender RFA Jaleel McLaughlin Does Adam Trautman still have a role beyond blocking Why PFF mocks Kenyon Sadiq to Denver at 30 Which offensive pieces best support Bo Nix in 2026 How these decisions shape Sean Payton’s vision Who helps Bo Nix the most — McLaughlin, Trautman, or a first‑round TE like Sadiq. Drop your thoughts below!
On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down one of the most intriguing draft conversations for the Broncos: tight ends. Oregon’s Kenyon Sadiq is the clear TE1 in this class, but will Denver need to move up from pick 30 to secure him. The fellas dig into his athletic profile, his connection to Bo Nix, and whether he’s the kind of offensive weapon Sean Payton would trade assets to go get. They also dive into Sam Roush from Stanford — a name Daniel Jeremiah believes Denver should take a long look at — and why his size, fluidity, and red‑zone upside make him a legitimate option if the Broncos stay put. And for Day 3, Cecil highlights Tanner Koizol from Houston, a sleeper with real developmental upside who could become a long‑term contributor in the right system. 🔥 In this episode: - Should Denver trade up for Kenyon Sadiq - Why Sam Roush is gaining traction as a Round 2–3 target - Tanner Koizol as a Day 3 sleeper with real upside - How each TE fits Sean Payton’s 2026 offensive vision - Which prospect best complements Bo Nix’s strengths Is tight end the Broncos’ sneaky priority in this draft — and who’s the right fit at 30.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason break down Daniel Jeremiah’s latest insights after the NFL Network draft analyst met with the media on Thursday. Jeremiah highlighted three names he believes could reshape the Broncos at pick No. 30: Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq, Notre Dame RB Jardarian Price, and Georgia LB CJ Allen. The fellas dive into the strengths, roles, and upside of each prospect — and what they would mean for Sean Payton’s roster in 2026. Is Denver better off adding a playmaking weapon for Bo Nix, like Sadiq or Price, or should they turn to defensive help with a tone‑setting linebacker like Allen. Jeremiah offered strong thoughts on which type of player could push the Broncos over the top, and Cecil and Mase break down the logic behind each path. Whether it’s explosive offense or foundational defense, the Broncos have a real decision to make at No. 30. 🔥 In this episode: Kenyon Sadiq’s fit as Bo Nix’s former teammate and top TE in the class Why Jardarian Price could be a dynamic weapon in Payton’s offense How CJ Allen would reshape Denver’s defensive identity Which direction Jeremiah believes elevates the Broncos the most What Denver must prioritize with their first‑round pick Which path should the Broncos take at No. 30 — playmaker or defensive difference‑maker.
