2020 Broncos' Season, Free Agency Begins


The 2020 off-season is under way. The legal tampering period began today, and the information is going to be fast moving. Despite all that's going on in the world, it's been nice to have some frivolous sports to focus on. And for the Broncos, this could be a big off-season.

The team got a jump last week when they agreed to a trade for A.J. Bouye. That trade will become official on Wednesday, and then the Broncos will be sitting on 11 draft picks and some free agent spending cash. With Justin Simmons locked up on a franchise tag, the thought turns to other needs.

In a wild first day, the Broncos made their first splash by signing interior offensive lineman Graham Glasgow to a four-year, $44 million deal. He played with the Lions previously, and has logged games at center, left guard and right guard. Currently he figures to line up at right guard, a position vacated when the Broncos opted not to bring back Ron Leary. That locks him in opposite Dalton Risner, with Garrett Bolles and Ju'Waun James potentially at the tackles. Conner McGovern, who was great at center, is a free agent the Broncos should try to bring back. That could give them a great start at offensive line, a crucial position if they want to compete.

Glasgow was considered one of the top options on the board, and he's been one of the most durable. That would be a big key for Denver, which has seen plenty of injuries in the past few seasons. This is a position group that isn't done, but I think this is a quality signing and a great way for the Broncos to kick start this off-season.

We're in for a bit of fun these next few weeks, and it's just getting started.

The Burial a courtroom drama with heart

Image
Willie Gary (Jamie Foxx) is a brash trial lawyer who is good at rallying a jury to his cause. Jeremiah O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones) is a quiet grandfather who is trying to ensure the business his family built remains viable after he’s gone. These two don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. But when they’re brought together by young lawyer Hal Dockins (Mamoudou Athie) brings them together, a connection is formed over their shared background of working hard to become self-made men. And it turned out that Willie was just who Jerry needed in his corner to win the fight of his life. The new Prime Video film The Burial, which opened in theaters October 6 and started streaming October 13, captures that trial against the Loewen Group that changed the course of their lives. The film is based on the true story and covers the trial, but more importantly captures the relationship between the men. The film plays out like a traditional courtroom drama. Foxx is solid as Willie Gary, while Ju...

Broncos Draft Targets

Image
  The NFL Draft is just a few days away. On April 25, the Denver Broncos will head into the draft in the midst of something of a rebuild. In the draft, the Broncos have the No. 12 pick in Round 1, then have a Third Round Pick, Fourth Round Pick, three Fifth Round Picks, a Sixth Round Pick, and a Seventh Round Pick. So, what might they be targeting? Let's dive in and look at possible positions. Quarterback : The team clearly needs a long-term quarterback. Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci are there but the team could certainly use someone else. Could they move up for Drake Maye or J.J. McCarthy? Yes, they could. Will the take Bo Nix at 12? It's possible. Or will the Broncos wait until next off-season to make a move? Anything is in play for the Broncos in 2024, but quarterback is surely a need. Tight End: The team brought back Adam Trautman and still has Greg Dulcich, but it's still a need. Dulcich hasn't been able to get on the field and Trautman hasn't been great. Co...

Favorite Westerns, No. 43

Image
  Do you like a good Western? It's a classic genre in film and this year I've decided to look at some of my favorite Westerns. So, join me each Friday as I count down my favorite Westerns from No. 50 to No. 1. Rooster Cogburn : [ watching Mattie ford the river hanging on the back of her horse] By God. She reminds me of me. True Grit (1969) Starring : John Wayne, Kim Darby, Glen Campbell, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper Director : Henry Hathaway About: This is the third straight week with a film from Wayne. As you might guess, we're not done. As I've mentioned, he sets a standard for the genre. Here, we seen him bring to life an iconic character. This one is based on a novel, and it has endured. He's great as Rooster Cogburn, so good that he got a sequel in the same character. But this is a later film in his career. This is a different, more grizzled Wayne. He's still quite good and this is a film that really has stood the test of time. It's not the only ve...
