Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

Is this Wes Welker's final season with Denver Broncos?
I think Welker goes out with Peyton, however it happens
just saw a rerun of manning on Dave's late night show.
His comment was he was having to much fun to retire and now it is more mental than physical.
That he would at till he can't anymore or it was no longer fun.
So he may go when Welker does but I'll bet he plays several more years.
I think that they have been focused on building a playoff team for the next ten years since they took over. Not once have they put all there eggs in one basket and have signed very friendly contracts to the free agents they do bring in.
Why John has not been named exec of the year is beyond me.
He has drafted well for the future, has brought in UFA to plug some hole on a look see basis.
Vasquez deal was to 2 mil with little downside to cut him. He played pro bowl level and earned the 6+ he is making this coming year.
He has signed Ward to a reasonable contract same with Talib.
They are building for the future with talented vets and allowing the rookies to not have to play day one.
We all know that loads of rookies are thrown to the wolves and many never play to their potential. Or wind up in another city because their fans turn on them.
Moreno is fine example of that. A good player just not good enough for the position he was picked at. No doubt he will have a fine career somewhere else.
If Peyton plays in 2015, i could see him take less to stay another year, although i think the plan is for DT, Latimer and Sanders to be the top 3 in 2015.
I agree, and Elway is most likely going to try and shed money to increase the cap space so that the broncos can make good offers to DT and JT

I feel it will be welkers last season for 2 reasons
1.) I feel that Latimore is going to development very nicely his rookie year and solidify himself as a #2 WR going into next year, which would mean movie sanders to the slot (where he could be deadly)
2.) I also think this will be mannings last year no matter what. I don't have any solid facts to back this up but rather a guy feeling. If manning does retire it completely changes the type of players the broncos would keep, since they would not longer be all in on one season but rather focused on building a playoff team for the next 10+ years.

I don't know why people keep claiming he has had all of these concussions. Up until this past season he had NEVER been diagnosed with a concussion. So he has had exactly 2.

I believe it has been carved in stone. Elway is not going to pony up a long term contract to keep Welker at age 33. With the addition of Sanders and the draft, Welker is more or less a bandage at the moment.
The odds say Welker would probably only look to play one last season in 2015, which is easily done. The question is his health and the concussion issue.
It will be up to Wes. Does he want to play in 2015? If he does, I don't think it will be much of an issue to sign him to a one year deal to have him play out his final season with Peyton, who is probably also done after 2015.

He has the head injuries and is getting older. I think this is his last year with us and would not be surprised if he retires after this year, especially if he gets hurt again
