The Broncos Podcast with Troy Renck

In my latest Broncos podcast presented by Hoggatt Injury Law, I discuss coach Sean Payton benching Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham. Payton insists it was about providing a spark for the offense, not Wilson’s $37 million injury guarantee. Payton’s frustration, however, had been growing with Wilson since the two became an odd pairing this offseason. The easy decision is to move on. The ha...

In my latest Broncos podcast presented by Hoggatt Injury Law, Denver, not Houston, has a problem. Needing to carry the water, the offense failed.

In my latest pod presented by Hoggatt Injury Law, I discuss how the Broncos have become easier to appreciate than explain after they won their fourth straight game for the first time since 2016.
