Broncos showing interest in another quarterback prospect
Broncos showing interest in another quarterback prospect
The Denver Broncos continue to scout third-string quarterback candidates leading up to the 2025 NFL draft.
After previously meeting with Canadian quarterback Taylor Elgersma at Buffalo's pro day and hosting NDSU's Cam Miller on a pre-draft visit, the Broncos have had multiple virtual pre-draft Zoom calls with Minnesota's Max Brosmer, according to the Denver Post's Luca Evans.
Brosmer (6-2, 217 pounds) spent the first five years of his college career at the FCS level, playing 36 games at New Hampshire. He transferred to Minnesota ahead of his final year of eligibility in 2024.
The 24-year-old prospect completed 66.5% of his passes for 2,828 yards and 18 touchdowns against six interceptions in 13 games with the Golden Gophers. He also rushed for five touchdowns last fall, but Brosmer is not a particularly mobile prospect.
Brosmer is projected as a late-round or undrafted free agent prospect. If he lands with the Broncos, Brosmer could get an opportunity to compete for the QB3 job behind starter Bo Nix and primary backup Jarrett Stidham in 2025. The NFL draft will be held in Wisconsin from April 24-26. Denver holds seven picks this year.

Dan Orlovsky and ESPN in agreement on a new deal: Sources
Dan Orlovsky, who hinted he may not return to ESPN, is expected to re-sign with the network and continue as a prominent football analyst, sources briefed on the contract talks said Tuesday. Orlovsky's new deal is not signed yet, but it has been agreed upon. He will continue to appear on 'NFL Live,' the second team on 'Monday Night Football' and all of his other daily talk show appearances, where he analyzes the NFL and college. Advertisement Orlovsky had talks to be on CBS' Big Ten broadcasts in place of the retiring Gary Danielson, but Orlovsky wanted to hear what ESPN would offer, making the timing not right for a decision. CBS ended up moving Charles Davis from the NFL to college after Danielson's final year in the booth. J.J. Watt is replacing Davis on CBS' No. 2 NFL broadcast team with Ian Eagle. After the Super Bowl in February, Orlovsky said on ESPN that 'you never know what the future holds,' as he gave thanks and mentioned he would not be on the network for a while. However, Orlovsky has since appeared on ESPN. ESPN declined to comment on Orlovsky's expected re-signing. Orlovsky, 41, joined ESPN in 2018 after a 12-year NFL career, where he served mostly as a backup. He rose through the ranks quickly and became part of ESPN's daily 'NFL Live' ensemble that also features Laura Rutledge, Marcus Spears and Mina Kimes. Additionally, Orlovsky pairs with Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick Jr. on ESPN's extra NFL games that its top team of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman don't broadcast.

Bills RB James Cook present for team's mandatory practice amid contract concerns, AP source says
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills running back James Cook put aside his contract concerns — and avoided the potential of being fined — by attending the start of the team's three-day mandatory series of practices on Tuesday, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because coach Sean McDermott isn't scheduled to address the media until later in the day. The Athletic first reported Cook was present at the team's facility. Cook's attendance comes after he went public with his desire to negotiate a contract extension while entering the fourth and final year of his rookie deal. He was the NFL's co-leader in rushing touchdowns with 16 last year, and skipped Buffalo's six previous spring practices and month-long workout sessions, all of which were voluntary. Cook was selected by Buffalo in the second round of the 2022 draft out of Georgia. His older brother is Dalvin Cook, best known for his six seasons in Minnesota and who spent last year appearing in two games with Dallas. In February, Cook informally began his public negotiation by posting the message '15 mill year' on his Instagram account. A month later, during an appearance on a podcast with former NFLers Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, Cook said, 'Pay me the big bucks,' and adding, 'I want to get what I asked for.' He also made the case for his fellow NFL running backs being underpaid in saying: 'I feel like we deserve to get paid,' and asking, 'How (are) we not valuable?' In April, Cook listed his Buffalo-area home as being for sale. General manager Brandon Beane has on several occasions noted how much he respects and values Cook, while also acknowledging the two sides aren't on the same page in contract talks. In late March, Beane specifically referenced Cook in announcing he was cutting off contract discussions to focus on the draft. 'Just because we don't have James signed today doesn't mean next year we still can't get him done before he gets to free agency,' Beane said. 'We want him to have success. We're rooting for him ... But we are where we are, and there's no hard feelings from us.' Cook proved to be the odd-man out in Beane's offseason binge of signing core players to multiyear contract extensions. The group was made up of quarterback Josh Allen, receiver Khalil Shakir, edge rusher Greg Rousseau, linebacker Terrel Bernard and cornerback Christian Benford. Cook's 16 touchdowns rushing matched a Bills single-season record set by O.J. Simpson, and he also scored two more receiving. He was part of a Bills offense that finished second in the NFL in averaging more than 30 points per outing. After scoring just two touchdowns rushing in each of his first two seasons, Cook's jump in production coincided with Joe Brady's first full season as Buffalo's offensive coordinator , and the team's initiative to have Allen rush less to reduce exposing him to injury. ___ AP NFL:
