3. What I’m thinking about the Denver Broncos’ coaching hire…
Speaking of Aaron, the Broncos hired former Packers Offensive Coordinator Nathaniel Hackett as their head coach. Hackett was the person closest to Aaron in the Packers coaching staff, and the "connect-the-dots" begins. The rumors about the Broncos and Aaron have been around for a while, and this feeds the flame. And the Broncos have Cap room and trade assets.
The Broncos front office has been impressive this year. They (1) acquired their starting quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater) for a low round pick and only paid him $4 million (the Panthers paid him $7 million when they traded him); (2) traded Von Miller, an aging star at the end of his contract, for 2nd and 3rd round picks; (3) hired a skilled offensive mind with close ties to a certain introspective quarterback, and (4) are soon to be sold for a record-setting franchise price. I have consistently said that Aaron would be traded in 2022, this only enhances that feeling.
