Broncos adding players' family room to stadium after poor NFLPA grade

The Denver Broncos having the longest Super Bowl odds is crazy
The Denver Broncos having the longest Super Bowl odds in the NFL right now is downright crazy. And perhaps, maybe even a little insulting. One popular sportsbook lists the Broncos at +30000 to hoist the Lombardi Trophy this season, or a 300-1 shot. The next worst is the Carolina Panthers at 250-1, The New England Patriots at 180-1 and the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans are both at 150-1.
Panthers waive Lamar Jackson; Commanders sign ex-Broncos linebacker
A pair of former Denver Broncos defenders made headlines on Monday. Lamar Jackson (not that one) was waived by the Carolina Panthers with an injury designation. If he clears waivers, Jackson will revert to Carolina’s injured reserve list. Jackson, 26, played cornerback for the Broncos in 2022, breaking up two passes in three games. He was waived during free agency in 2023 and later joined the Panthers’ practice squad. Elsewhere, the Washington Commanders signed ex-Denver linebacker Justin Hollins. Hollins, 28, was picked by the Broncos in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL draft out of Oregon. He was waived during roster cuts in 2020 and landed with the Los Angeles Rams. Hollins spent time with three other teams after the Rams before joining the Commanders this week. To wrap up, we have two more bits of housekeeping on ex-Denver players: safety Caden Sterns received $1.055 million from the Panthers and cornerback Essang Bassey got $1.125 million from the Detroit Lions.
