The Denver Broncos demolishing it and reconstructing it might be the perfect remedy.

Within the Denver Broncos’ hierarchy, the hens are returning home to roost. There was always going to be risky grenade directed at the Broncos shot callers when the quarterback Russell Wilson was acquired in what may have been the worst transaction in NFL history.

Veteran safety Justin Simmons is leaving the team quickly after Wilson, and it’s no secret that more seasoned players will go in the next few days. If head coach Sean Payton was initially hired by the Broncos’ new ownership to patch things up, we’re now witnessing a stunning wholesale swing towards an arduous long-term rebuild.

Broncos Super Bowl legend Mark Schlereth is notoriously outspoken when it comes to his former team. Joining the Pat McAfee Show, Schlereth took aim at the Broncos for their repeated failures, it was laced with equal measures of passion and pain.

Schlereth said to Pat McAfee, “This place has been garbage for eight years.” “A diamond in the National Football League was the Denver Broncos. Furthermore, they are meaningless. And we continue to imagine that things will get better by applying Band-Aids to them. And I’m the one sitting here saying, “Sean Payton, I appreciate you realising this team needs improvement.” There isn’t a single homegrown player on this football squad who has even gone near the playoffs. At all. Ultimately, then, it’s time to have some surgery done and to stop bandaging open wounds with Band-Aids. And in my opinion, Sean Payton is doing just that. I’m happy that they’re actually moving, personally.

It was former GM John Elway who famously fought tooth and nail against the notion of a rebuild. Eight years after winning Super Bowl 50, Schlereth is brutally correct: the Broncos organization has reached an undeniable crisis point. At its very chaotic zenith, it’s a clutch point that necessitates the aforementioned band-aid being agonizingly ripped off.

Such is the extent of the black hole the Broncos’ front office has dug itself. Even resetting with a rookie quarterback wouldn’t give the Broncos a discernible advantage over the next two seasons.

The Broncos’ self-inflicted wounds are a dismal fact that cannot be ignored, especially when it comes to the balance sheet and under centre. When Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated pointed out that even starting a rookie quarterback doesn’t provide you a competitive advantage when it comes to the pay cap, it was clear that the sky was falling.

“Real damage of the Russell Wilson contract is if they draft a QB in the 1st round, his $85 million in dead money will effectively srtip Denver of the rookie-contract advantage for the first 2 years of the new QB’s career,” Breer stated on X. Breer posted on X, “They’re navigating that right now.”

Hunting season has obviously begun, and the Broncos and struggling general manager George Paton are resembling
