Might new #Broncos OC Davis Webb be the key to finally, fully unlocking Marvin Mims, Jr.? TBD, but Mims has a pep in his step — and a bunch of big plays — so far in camp. Mims: "I’ve accepted the challenge. I think I’ve done well. I’ve got good feedback." www.denverpost.com/2026/08/06/b...

Could new Broncos play-caller Davis Webb finally unlock Marvin Mims Jr.?

Jaylen Waddle’s arrival might have looked like bad news for Marvin Mims, Jr., but instead Mims is off to the fastest training camp start of his career. Will it translate?

#Broncos LG Ben Powers revised contract, per NFLPA data and source: 1 year, $6 million. $5 mil gtd with $2 mil more in possible incentives. Base: $4.65 million (was $12.49 but non-guaranteed). $500k signing bonus and $850k in per-game roster bonuses. Cap goes from $18.2 mil to $10.6 mil.

#Broncos did approach Ben Powers about a pay cut in February, sources said — and there would have been a trade market — but he'd just had Lisfranc surgery and couldn't pass a physical. So, contract convo was shelved until recently. More: www.denverpost.com/2026/07/27/b... via @denverpost.com
