John Fox says Broncos never had NFL bounty program - In light of the New Orleans Saints and defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ “bounty” violations, the NFL has encouraged every team to review the severity of the issue with its coaches.  Broncos’ coach John Fox will meet with his staff Tuesday morning to discuss the subject.  ”We were never part of anything like that,” Fox said Monday. “There’s no place in the game for intentionally hurting another player.”  Read more from The Denver Post >>>>

Broncos put franchise tag on kicker Matt Prater - The Broncos have placed the franchise tag on kicker Matt Prater today. He’s the fourth NFL kicker to be franchised this season.  The tag for kickers is estimated to come in at one year and around $2.6 million. Prater made $1.83 million as a restricted free agent last year so his salary bump, while nice, is not outrageous.  Read more from The Denver Post >>>>

Broncos give Ramzee Robinson his latest chance to land a job - Like a good neighbor, the Broncos were there.  So, maybe this will be the time for Ramzee Robinson. Maybe Denver will be the place, the Broncos the team. That’s what Robinson hopes as he lives life with his fingers crossed, his arms clamped tightly around a dream.  It’s what fuels him as he tries to quietly click the front door closed so he doesn’t wake the kids on his way to a predawn workout; as he works the phones for State Farm insurance agent Michael Howell in Athens, Ala., during the day; and as he slides behind the wheel of a church van in the evening to shuttle youth to and from an after-school program.  Read more from The Denver Post >>>>

Ayers Shows His Support - Robert Ayers spent his Friday afternoon back at high school, shooting three-pointers.  No, the defensive lineman isn’t looking at a career change. Rather, he was showing his support for Cherry Creek High School’s “Wish Week.”  Read more from Denver Broncos >>>>

Denver Broncos 2012 NFL Mock Draft: Helping That Tim Tebow Magic - After signing a 4 year -$14 million dollar deal in January of 2011, John Fox had a pretty good season, all things considered. Despite an 8-8 record, the Broncos won the AFC West and pulled off an upset victory over the Steelers in the Wild Card round of the playoffs. There will be a lot of hoopla, once again, surrounding Tim Tebow, but I don’t doubt the team will roll with him and hope he can improve on his inconsistencies. Hopefully, the team can improve at other positions on both sides of the ball and help Tebow improve on his 2011 season.  Read more from Fantasy Knuckleheads >>>>

Denver Broncos ‘Ultimate Franchise Player’ Selection - In my first nine editions of Ultimate Franchise Player, I believe that I have nominated a diverse group of NFL icons representing a variety of eras and positions. So far, I have gone with a couple of wide receivers, a cornerback/return man (who also moonlighted on offense), a linebacker, a defensive end, a couple of running backs, and, finally, in my latest segment, nominated a defensive tackle in controversial fashion.  Read more from Midwest Sports Fans >>>>

Denver Broncos: What Bounty Amount Would Teams Put on Tim Tebow? - Now relax and start breathing. I am not saying teams have put a bounty on Tim Tebow. This is a hypothetical situation.  “Bounty” programs have been a hot topic in the NFL this offseason.  The programs involve paying defenders to take players out of the games or knock them out on the field.  The primary team involved in the investigation is the New Orleans Saints.  Due to recent activity regarding the Saints and possibly the Washington Redskins, it is a likely possibility that other teams had similar “incentive” programs.  Read more from Bleacher Report >>>>

2012 NFL Trade Odds: 6 Players the Denver Broncos Could Make a Play for - The Denver Broncos enter the 2012 season with some nice pieces in place to compete for the AFC West title again.  Under head coach John Fox’s new approach in 2011, the Broncos’ defense rose to the top of the NFL and kept close enough to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of the playoffs for Tim Tebow and Demaryius Thomas to finish them off.  Read more from Bleacher Report >>>>

Love him or hate him, Tim Tebow can play football - Now that the football season is over and people have started coming back to church on Sunday, it’s time to ponder one of the most controversial quarterbacks in recent history.  Everyone knows who this man is. Tim Tebow of the Denver Broncos has not only become an NFL quarterback, he has won a playoff game, proved critics wrong, and also created his own pose — “Tebowing” — that has become a national phenomenon among sports fans.  Read more from Standard-Examiner >>>>

With free agency close, are Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez doing anything to kill the rumors about them?  Read more from Gather Sports >>>>

Tebowmania or Linsanity? I say Tebowmania - Stop it. Just stop it. The comparisons of Tebowmania and Linsanity have gone too far.  ‪I am sick and tired of everybody comparing Tebowmania and Linsanity. The only things these two people have in common are this: they have strong Christian faiths and are professional athletes. That is it.  Read more from The Metropolitan >>>>
