Broncos' projected wide receiver depth chart for 2025 and beyond
The Denver Broncos officially announced on Monday that Sutton has signed a four-year contract extension. The team has now secured quarterback Bo Nix's favorite target for 2025 early in training camp.
Sutton is the team's obvious WR1, but how does the receiver depth chart look behind him?
Entering his second season, Devaughn Vele is probably the favorite for WR2 duties, but third-round draft pick Pat Bryant will be competing to quickly win playing time this summer.
Marvin Mims is a do-everything weapon for Denver's offense, and he's probably best suited to play in a slot/WR role. Troy Franklin is likely competing for snaps at the same position.
Trent Sherfield was added to the mix this spring, but his biggest contributions will presumably come on special teams. The Broncos also have a pair of veterans in A.T. Perry (who is nursing an ankle injury) and Michael Bandy (who spent all of last season on the practice squad). At the bottom of the projected WR depth chart, Denver has four undrafted free agent additions.
The year that each player is scheduled to become a free agent is listed in parentheses. For example, Sutton is signed through the 2029 season, so he's set to become a free agent in the spring of 2030.
Broncos projected WR depth chart
WR1: Courtland Sutton (2030)
WR2: Devaughn Vele (2028) / Pat Bryant (2029)
Slot: Marvin Mims (2027) / Troy Franklin (2028)
ST: Trent Sherfield (2027)
Veteran depth: A.T. Perry (2026) / Michael Bandy (2026)
UDFAs: Joaquin Davis (2028), Kyrese Rowan (2028), Courtney Jackson (2028), Jerjuan Newton (2028)
Not a bad group of receivers, especially when you account for tight end Evan Engram joining the offense. All five of the team's (projected) top receivers are signed through at least 2026, so Nix should be able to build great chemistry with the team's core group. Nix and his teammates are set to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Broncos' preseason opener on Aug. 9 (view the full preseason schedule).

3 observations from Day 9 of New York Jets training camp
New York Jets 2025 NFL training camp is well underway and will be watched under a microscope each and every day. Throughout practices, updates are shared during the workouts which make for intriguing and important notes. In terms of Day 89of training camp, what stood out the most? Here are three observations from the ninth day of Jets training camp Aaron Glenn shows the passion On the positive side of the ledger from head coach Aaron Glenn, he really showed how much he cares about the Jets once again. Glenn got emotional discussing fans viewing practice as he said it was the "first time it really hit him." Sloppy, sloppy During Saturday's practice there was a bit of a scrimmage that went down. It did not go well. Per reports, there were 12 penalties called during the workout and that is very bad. Glenn has previously said he wants referees at practice to help fix the issue with flags, but improvement is still needed. Glenn was vocal about the problem after practice. Isaiah Davis makes waves On a plus side, running back Isaiah Davis took advantage of Braelon Allen missing practice due to injury. ESPN was among those that praised Davis' efforts working with the first-team offense, both in the rushing and passing game.

Titans sign OL Arlington Hambright, waive WR Ramel Keyton
The Titans made a change to their roster on Sunday morning. They announced that they have signed offensive lineman Arlington Hambright. They waived wide receiver Ramel Keyton in a corresponding move. Hambright signed to Tennessee's practice squad last year and went on to play in four games on special teams for the Titans during the regular season. He was a 2020 Bears seventh-round pick and played nine games as a rookie. He also saw action for the Colts in 2023. Keyton signed with the team after Treylon Burks fractured his collarbone in a training camp practice. He had one catch for the Raiders last season.

Former Georgia QB Matthew Stafford makes NFL top 100
Former Georgia quarterback Matthew Stafford has been one of the top quarterbacks in the league for a while and he was rewarded for it by his peers. Stafford made the NFL's top 100, coming in at No. 59. Stafford absolutely deserved this award. In his age-36 season, Stafford threw for 3,762 yards and 20 touchdowns, leading the Los Angeles Rams on five game-winning drives. He brought the Rams to a 10-7 record and NFC West title. After that, the Rams upset the 14-3 Minnesota Vikings in the wild card round and came within one play of defeating the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the divisional round. He was playing through an injury in that game too. Stafford comes down from ranking No. 42 last year, but he enters the list for the eighth time in his career, tying former Auburn/Florida quarterback Cam Newton and former Ole Miss quarterback Phillip Rivers for the most top 100 selections of any former SEC quarterback in NFL history. Matthew Stafford makes the NFL 100 He also ties with wide receiver A.J. Green for the most top 100 selections for any former Georgia Bulldog player. There have already been two Georgia Bulldogs selected in the NFL's top 100. Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey comes in at No. 100 (somewhat lower than people expected), while Bills running back James Cook comes in at No. 89. However, with guys like Jalen Carter, Roquan Smith, and Brock Bowers still awaiting their ranking, Georgia fans have more to look forward to in the future.
