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.

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.

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.

On this Friday edition of Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into one of the most important offseason questions for the Broncos: what should Denver do at running back. Should they bring back J.K. Dobbins, who flashed before the injury and still fits Sean Payton’s vision. And if Dobbins returns, does that remove the need to spend a premium pick on a rookie RB — or is this draft class too good to ignore. The fellas also break down the top free‑agent names, including whether Breece Hall is the best overall back available and if Tyler Allgeier is the cleanest stylistic fit next to RJ Harvey. With Bo Nix entering Year 3 and the offense evolving, Denver must decide whether to double down on veterans, inject youth, or build a true committee. 🔥 In this episode: Should Denver re‑sign J.K. Dobbins Do the Broncos still need a rookie RB with a premium pick Is Breece Hall the top free‑agent RB on the market Why Tyler Allgeier might be the perfect complement to RJ Harvey How the RB decision shapes the offense around Bo Nix What should the Broncos do at running back — bring back Dobbins, chase a star, or draft a new one.

On this Thursday edition of Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dig into one of the most underrated but absolutely critical questions of Denver’s offseason: what should the Broncos do at inside linebacker. With free agency approaching, the team must decide whether to keep Alex Singleton, whether Justin Strnad has earned a bigger role, and whether Dre Greenlaw’s job is as safe as many assume. The guys also look at a loaded ILB class in the 2026 NFL Draft, and whether Denver should consider using a premium pick on a young, rangy defender who can run, cover, and play all three downs. With the defense evolving and expectations rising, the Broncos must decide if continuity is enough — or if it’s time to upgrade the heart of the unit. 🔥 In this episode: Should Denver re‑sign Alex Singleton Has Justin Strnad earned a long‑term role Is Dre Greenlaw locked in, or could competition arrive How strong the 2026 ILB draft class really is Whether the Broncos should spend a premium pick at linebacker What should the Broncos do at inside linebacker — run it back or reload.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason react to Field Yates’ first mock draft, where he has the Broncos selecting Kenyon Sadiq, the dynamic Oregon tight end and former teammate of Bo Nix, with the 30th pick. Sadiq is widely viewed as the best TE in the class, but the big question is whether he’ll actually be on the board when Denver is on the clock. The guys break down Sadiq’s athletic profile, his chemistry with Nix, and whether he’s polished enough to make a Day 1 impact in Sean Payton’s offense. They also explore how adding a high‑end rookie TE would reshape Denver’s passing game and what it means for the rest of the Broncos’ draft strategy. 🔥 In this episode: Will Kenyon Sadiq realistically be available at pick 30 Why he’s considered the top TE in the 2026 class How his connection with Bo Nix could accelerate his impact What Sadiq brings to Payton’s offense from Day 1 How drafting him changes Denver’s board at WR, OL, and RB Should the Broncos reunite Bo Nix with Kenyon Sadiq in the first round — or target another position.

On today’s Orange & Blue Today, Cecil Lammey and Andrew Mason dive into the breaking news that David Njoku will not return to the Cleveland Browns, instantly making him one of the most intriguing free‑agent tight ends on the market. The big question now: should the Denver Broncos make a run at him. The guys break down how Njoku’s blend of size, blocking power, and underrated receiving ability would fit in Sean Payton’s offense, and what his arrival would mean for Evan Engram, who thrived as Denver’s move tight end in 2025. Could the two coexist as a dynamic 1‑2 punch, or would Njoku’s presence shift Engram’s role. And if the Broncos land Njoku, does that take them out of the 2026 tight end draft class, or simply give them flexibility to build the room the way Payton prefers. 🔥 In this episode: Why Njoku hitting the market changes Denver’s offseason board How Njoku and Engram could function together in Payton’s scheme Whether signing Njoku eliminates the need to draft a TE early How a veteran TE duo would help Bo Nix in Year 3 What Njoku’s market value might look like Should the Broncos go after David Njoku in free agency — or stick with Engram and the draft.

The guys dig into how Nix’s accuracy, timing, and processing mirror Brees — and how his arm talent could open up parts of Payton’s system that Brees never accessed.
