The 2025 NFL season is about to pick up steam with teams beginning training camp in about a week. Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos are going to enter the upcoming campaign as one of the most intriguing teams in the league.
Last season, the Broncos made a surprising run to the playoffs. Led by their rookie quarterback Nix, Denver finished the year with a 10-7 record.
Unfortunately, the Broncos were unable to pull off a win in the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills, but the future is extremely bright.

With that in mind, talk show host Kay Adams did not hold back recently when talking about Nix.
During a segment on her "Up & Adams Show," Adams spoke out boldly about the Broncos' second-year quarterback. She is clearly expecting a year two leap from Nix.
"Bo Nix, 4,000-plus [passing] yards. I like this one a lot. ... Once Bo got comfy last year, he completely lit it up. If you take his final 10 [games] of the year and pace that out over a full season, that is a 4,300-yard, 41-touchdown pace," Adams said.
"And now he's got more weapons as he heads into year two. Give me all the Bo Nix stock for 2025."
What weapons did Denver add for Nix during the 2025 NFL offseason? The Broncos went out and added tight end Evan Engram, running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, and wide receiver Pat Bryant.
Add those talented players to a group that has Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin and the offense looks even better.

Throughout the course of the 2024 NFL season, Nix played in all 17 regular season games. He completed 66.3 percent of his pass attempts for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, while also picking up 430 yards and scoring four touchdowns on the ground.
At just 25 years old, Nix is one of the top up-and-coming quarterbacks in the NFL. He has the potential to become a legitimate superstar and has the Broncos looking like a legitimate contender once again.
Denver will start off the 2025 NFL season with a Week 1 matchup at home against the Tennessee Titans on September 7.

Report: NFLPA board of player reps is expected to vote on interim executive director soon
With executive director Lloyd Howell abruptly out, the NFL Players Association needs to replace him. It soon will. Via Adam Schefter of the NFLPA board of player representatives "is expected to vote" on a new interim executive director before the widespread launch of training camps, on Tuesday. The news comes a day after Dianna Russini of reported that it's currently a two-man race: JC Tretter and Don Davis. (Her tweet caused confusion because it omitted the word "interim." But it's obviously an interim hire.) Because the NFLPA Constitution doesn't contain a procedure for selecting an interim executive director, the NFLPA apparently has come up with a plan for proceeding. It's unclear how the voting will work — especially if no one gets a majority of the votes on the first ballot. Some have suggested that the NFLPA should take its time in hiring an interim executive director, given that too many of the current options are too close to Howell. There's a belief that the best play would be to find someone from the outside to step in and stabilize the situation while the search for a full-time, non-interim executive director proceeds. My own reaction to that possibility? Good freakin' luck. How will the NFLPA find someone good who'll shut down his or her life temporarily in an effort to repair the damage done by the Howell regime and to lay the foundation for someone else to take over? If, as it appears, the interim executive director will be someone who worked for the NFLPA while Howell did, it will be important to move very quickly to find the next executive director — and to make it clear that the interim executive director will not be a candidate and, ideally, will have no role in the selection of his or her replacement. Frankly, the best approach for the NFLPA could be to eventually blow up current union management, with the exception of anyone who realized that Howell was a problem and sounded the alarm about it internally.

Former NFLPA executive committee member says JC Tretter "seems just as culpable" as Lloyd Howell
There's a storm raging within the NFL Players Association, and at times it feels as if we're in the eye of it. The vast majority of texts and calls to the PFT hotline since the resignation of NFLPA executive director Lloyd Howell relate to the next steps for the union. There's plenty of noise, some of which has been posted here — and plenty of which (at least for now) has not been. Our goal isn't to tee up names or play the Game of Thrones game. It's to make sure the players understand what's happening and, ideally, that they reclaim control of their union. Because it seems that both the NFL and NFLPA non-player leadership have weaponized player apathy, any sign that the players are waking up and taking charge is significant. Here's something that has happened within the past day. Sam Acho — a former member of the NFLPA executive committee — has sounded the alarm via Twitter. "Players who are voting," Acho said, "I understand you've been kept out of the loop. Listen to [the Pablo Torre Finds Out] podcast or read the article by [Kalyn Kahler of JC Tretter seems just as culpable (if not more) than Lloyd Howell." The Acho tweet tags five current members of the board of player representatives: Zaven Collins, Von Miller, Shelby Harris, Cole Kmet, and Zaire Franklin. Acho's plea comes at a time when a text message critical of Tretter has been making the rounds. A longer document entitled "Risk Assessment of NFLPA Interim Executive Director Candidates" (which focuses only on Tretter) has been circulating, along with rumors that Tretter could be pushing for current NFL Players Inc. president Matt Curtin to become the interim executive director, since Curtin would be likely to keep Tretter in position as chief strategy officer. Meanwhile, the NFLPA has remained largely silent. There's been nothing from NFLPA president Jaylen Reeves-Maybin. Nothing from Tretter. The executive committee's only statement came a week ago, when it vowed to not rush to judgment on Howell. It's therefore very noteworthy that a former member of the executive committee has decided to publicly share his opinions in a public forum, with five members of the board of players representatives specifically mentioned.

Dan Campbell admits his biggest concern for Lions going into training camp
The Detroit Lions are seeing significant turnover in their offensive line going into the 2025 season. The team lost center Frank Ragnow to retirement and guard Kevin Zeitler to free agency, where he inked a deal with the Tennessee Titans. As if all that wasn't enough, there are concerns with guard Graham Glasgow after a disappointing 2024 campaign that led many to wonder if he's on the decline. Glasgow is one of at least two offensive linemen who were competing for the vacant center job this offseason, along with rookie Tate Ratledge. That competition will no doubt continue in training camp and the loser will likely take one of the guard spots. The favorite for the other guard spot is second-year offensive lineman Christian Mahogany, who showed promise last season but remains mostly unproven. Going into training camp, head coach Dan Campbell revealed that the offensive line is his biggest concern. "My eyes are on the O-line," Campbell told reporters on Sunday. "I want to see what that unit's going to do and what's going to come out of that. We need some guys to step up for us. It's a great opportunity. "We lost Frank and Zeitler's gone and so we've got two or three more spots for guys to step up and help us. And, once that happens, then mesh," he added. "The guys that we know we can trust, this is where they're going to play and then getting whoever those five are together to where they start working together and start trusting each other." Campbell added that the battle for interior offensive line spots is "an open competition," per Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News. Given all that's required of a center, Glasgow's experience gives him the edge over the rookie for that particular spot. The veteran has played 2,611 snaps at center during his career, according to Pro Football Focus, while Ratledge did not play the position at Georgia. Other players to keep an eye on for the interior offensive line spots are veterans Trystan Colon and Kayode Awosika, and rookie Miles Frazier. MORE:Lions DT Levi Onwuzurike to miss 2025 season
