What if John Elway plays in Baltimore for the Colts? What if Jay Cutler isn’t traded by Josh McDaniels? The possibilities seem endless.But ... What if Peyton Manning never chose to play for the Broncos? John Elway was hired in 2011, brought in John Fox to stabilize the franchise, and after a dismal 2010 season that saw Josh McDaniels fired, they were able to turn the team around and go 8-8, winning the AFC West, and giving Broncos Country one of the best moments in team history when Tim Tebow connected with Demaryius Thomas in overtime of the AFC Wild Card game for a game-winning touchdown.The race for Peyton Manning began as soon as he was released from the Colts after the 2011 season, and Elway made it his mission to convince the Sheriff to come to Denver. If Elway had failed, the direction of the Broncos changes dramatically over the last eight seasons.First Denver Broncos Hats , Tebow is likely the quarterback for at least one more season. For all of his faults, Tebow was an exciting player to watch in the last 4 minutes of a game. Perhaps his connection with Thomas would have blossomed into something formidable. As Fox and Elway built the defense, how likely was it that Tebow could have blossomed in his role as a starting QB in Denver?Instead of trading out of the first round of the 2012 draft, does Elway target a QB like Brandon Weeden, which means no Derek Wolfe? Or does Brock Osweiler become the starter in his rookie year?The No Fly Zone, the 2013 offense, Super Bowl 50, all never occur. How many other dominos that fell would have stayed standing if Manning chose to play somewhere else?MHR Radio is now on ApplePodcasts, Google Play, iHeartRadio https://www.broncosfanstore.com/hoodie , Spotify, Stitcher,TuneIn and anywhere else you get your podcasts.

It’s the place he’s called home for nine years, since the Texans made him a first-round choice in 2010, and the place he’ll continue to make his offseason home.But the Texans didn’t make an offer, Jackson said, so he is headed to Denver.“They didn’t even approach me with an offer or any type of deal,” Jackson said, via Mark Berman of KRIV. “Obviously https://www.broncosfanstore.com/Tom-Jackson-Jersey , they didn’t want me back or whatever the case may be. I’m not really sure. My agent was never approached by anybody from the Texans organization, so I wasn’t offered a deal of any sort. I kind of feel a little disrespected to be honest about it. At the end of the day, no hard feelings. I had a great nine years here. This will always be home for me. I definitely appreciate all the memories and all the opportunities. I appreciate the fans and everything I was able to build here. I’ll always have love for Houston.”Jackson agreed to a three-year deal worth $33 million with the Broncos. He gets $23 million guaranteed.He made $48.9 million in his career in Houston, according to overthecap.com.“I’m not emotional,” Jackson said. “I know how the business goes. All good things sometimes come to an end. At the end of the day, it’s another opportunity for me. They’ve got a great group of guys there. I’m eager to get there and do whatever I can to help them win.”
