The Denver Broncos are facing a season of challenges with a thin roster due to significant dead cap charges of $53 million from the release of Russell Wilson, with another $32 million charge expected in 2025. The team lost key leaders such as S Justin Simmons, C Lloyd Cushenberry III, and ILB Josey Jewell. Despite this, they still have promising players like CB Pat Surtain II and coach Sean Payton, aiming for a season similar to the previous one, which had the fewest injuries in the league. However, ending their seven-year streak of losing records and eight-year playoff drought will be a tough task.

The Broncos have introduced new faces to their team, including QB Bo Nix, DE John Franklin-Myers, WR Josh Reynolds, RB Audric Estime, CB Kris Abrams-Draine, OLB Jonah Ellis, and DL Eyioma Uwazurike, who returns from a yearlong gambling suspension. The strengths of the team lie in their receivers, running backs, defensive line, and offensive line. However, weaknesses include lack of depth on both lines, uncertainties at tight end position, and expectations for a rookie quarterback to face growing pains.

In camp developments, attention has been on players like Nix, WR DeVaughn Vele, and WR Tim Patrick. For fantasy football enthusiasts, WR Courtland Sutton is a player to watch this season. According to BetMGM Sportsbook, the Broncos have long odds to win the Super Bowl at 150-1, with an over/under wins prediction set at 5 1/2 for the season.
