Broncos' updated 90-man offseason roster following 2 moves
Broncos' updated 90-man offseason roster following 2 moves
The Denver Broncos made two roster moves this week, swapping one defensive back for another.
The Broncos added cornerback Mario Goodrich, who spent this spring playing for the UFL's Birmingham Stallions. The 25-year-old cornerback already has NFL experience following stints with the Philadelphia Eagles (2022-2023) and New York Giants (2024).
To make room for Goodrich on the 90-man* offseason roster, Denver waived safety Tanner McCalister. The 25-year-old defensive back appeared in three games last season, recording one tackle.
*Note that Denver has an extra 91st spot on the roster because Australian-born punter Jeremy Crawshaw gets an offseason roster exemption as part of the NFL's international player pathway program. With that caveat in mind, here's a look at the team's roster going into the summer.

Denver will trim the roster down to 53 players by Aug. 26, then they will build a 16- or 17-player practice squad. Last year, the team's initial practice squad included Burton, Tillman, Bailey and Badie.

Mahomes Issues Take On Kelce's Major Chiefs Move
Mahomes Issues Take On Kelce's Major Chiefs Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will again be the leading Super Bowl contender in 2025, and his top sidekick is along as well. Advertisement After a mediocre season (by his standards), some think tight end Travis Kelce doesn't have much juice in the tank, yet the future Hall of Famer is coming back for a 13th NFL season. Considering Travis had his lowest yards total (823) and touchdowns (three) since his rookie season, there is a need for Kelce to remind the football world he's still got it. And there was a thought he might retire into the sunset with sweetheart Taylor Swift by his side. But while some are skeptical about what Kelce can do in 2025, Patrick isn't. And in a shocker, he didn't feel the need to discuss any of this with him. Advertisement "We never talked about it," Mahomes said of the idea of a Kelce retirement. "I think you have that in the back of your mind - I mean, for anybody that's played a lot of football seasons, there's always a chance. You have to put in the work in the offseason. I think everybody wants to play in the games, but putting the work in the offseason [is] where stuff gets strenuous." And for 2025? "I expect Travis to be Travis," Mahomes said. "Obviously, the play on the field is going to be high, he's going to go out there with the mentality that we're trying to win the Super Bowl this year. I think more than anything, it's the leadership that he brings to the building every single day, how he leads by example. It's a big impact on our football team. "I expect him to play at a high level and be an even better leader." Advertisement So Mahomes doesn't seem concerned, and after all, he is the one who sees Travis work day in and day out, but for most, until the tight end proves it on the field, there are going to be question marks over how valuable he can be to Andy Reid's offense. Kelce has dropped 25 pounds from his normal weight of 250 and has come into minicamp leaner than last season. Can Kelce be the Pro Bowl tight end we know him to be? Mahomes had no doubt and felt no need to discuss it.

Chiefs Star Tight End Travis Kelce Focuses on 2025
Chiefs Star Tight End Travis Kelce Focuses on 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Kansas City Chiefs did not finish an already subpar 2025 the way they wanted, with a Super Bowl defeat. The offense struggled much of last season, with Patrick Mahomes posting one of his worst statistical seasons on record. The same can be said of star tight end Travis Kelce, who finished with less than 1,000 yards receiving for just the fourth time in his career, and the second season in a row. Advertisement The seven-time All-Pro still made his 10th Pro Bowl, but it was with far fewer numbers than what he's used to producing. Entering the final season of his contract, he's focused on the task at hand, another Super Bowl win, rather than what might come after his deal expires. "I got one year on this contract, I know that," Kelce said to the media after minicamp practice on Wednesday. "We'll try and figure out something for next year. The Chiefs organization knows how much I love them. I can't see myself playing ever anywhere else. We'll deal with that down the road when the time is right, but right now I'm focused on winning a championship this year." Kelce has possible distractions that could take him away from the game – his podcast with his brother, his public life with Taylor Swift and his budding acting career. Advertisement But he knows where his passion is. "I love football," Kelce said. "I didn't really think about it that much. My friends and family, the team, the guys and women in this building, I love coming into work every single day. It wasn't a very tough [decision] for me. I know I'm getting older, but at the same time, I still feel like I got a lot I can prove in this league. That being said, man, it wasn't really that hard of a decision for me." There was a lot of speculation at the end of last season that Kelce would hang up his cleats in retirement at that time. But he didn't "feel" like he was done with football. "I didn't feel like it was my last game. I just felt like I got a lot more to prove."

Ex-Steelers WR George Pickens goes viral after claiming he forced trade out of Pittsburgh
George Pickens isn't taking criticism from Steelers fans lying down — as he recently took to social media to clear up who was really responsible for his trade to the Dallas Cowboys. In a now-deleted tweet, Pickens claimed that he forced his trade out of Pittsburgh — contradicting previous reports that Steelers HC Mike Tomlin made the call: Advertisement 'I forced [the trade] buddy. [The Steelers] were gladly keeping me. Have a nice day and a blessed one my guy.' Reports had been circulating that the disgruntled wide receiver wanted to remain a Pittsburgh Steeler — which makes this new take difficult to believe, even if it's from Pickens himself. If he truly did force his way out of Pittsburgh, it would explain why the Cowboys gave up only a third-round pick, as the Steelers would've lost all leverage.
