Broncos Signal “ALL IN,” Ready to Battle Nine NFL Teams for the Signature of the $36 Million Super Bowl LX MVP Running Back

Denver, Colorado  

The Denver Broncos are no longer hiding their ambition this offseason. According to multiple league sources, the franchise has sent a clear message that it is going “ALL IN,” preparing to compete aggressively with nine other NFL teams for the signature of the Super Bowl LX MVP running back Kenneth Walker III — a star expected to command a contract worth approximately $36 million.

After a dominant performance on the biggest stage in football, where he took over the game and earned Super Bowl MVP honors, the running back has become the hottest name on the free-agent market. No longer viewed as a player with upside, he is now seen as a true difference-maker capable of altering a franchise’s trajectory overnight.

For the Broncos, the timing could not be more critical. Denver’s recent season proved the team is close — painfully close — but still missing a decisive piece in the moments that matter most. Team leadership understands that potential alone is no longer enough. To break through the final barrier and reach the Super Bowl, the Broncos believe they need a player who can control games, dictate tempo, and force defenses to adjust on every snap.

The Broncos’ general manager did not shy away from addressing the team’s mindset, delivering an emotionally charged message during an internal discussion that underscored just how serious Denver is about this pursuit.

“We didn’t build this roster to settle for being close. We know exactly what we were missing, and we’re not afraid to pay the price to fix it. If there’s a player who has already proven he can deliver on the Super Bowl stage, that’s the kind of player the Broncos are willing to invest in for the future.”

The competition will be fierce. Several teams across the league are desperate for a high-end running back and are willing to stretch their financial limits to land a reigning Super Bowl MVP entering his prime. Still, Denver believes it has a compelling pitch: a defined offensive system, a coaching staff with a track record of maximizing the run game, and a young roster hungry to take the final step toward championship contention.

The “ALL IN” message is not just directed at free agents — it is a statement to the locker room and the fan base alike. The Broncos are no longer content with simply competing. They intend to finish the job.

If the move comes together, Denver would be adding more than a running back. The Broncos would be investing in a proven winner — a Super Bowl MVP — and betting that he is the missing piece capable of turning championship ambition into reality.

 

Packers reportedly hire defensive assistant, lose assistant special teams coach
According to multiple college football outlets, including FootballScoop and On3, the Green Bay Packers are reportedly hiring Will Smart, an assistant coach from Vanderbilt, to join their defensive staff. While the report does not specify Smart’s exact role under defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, he is expected to serve as a quality control coach or assistant positional coach. Smart played defensive line at Wake Forest from 2019 to 2021 before beginning his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater. He later joined Vanderbilt as a pass-rush specialist coach for the 2025 season. That year, Vanderbilt enjoyed a historic campaign, reaching 10 wins for the first time in school history and recording 31 total sacks, a notable defensive achievement.

Former quality control coach Wendel Davis is believed to have left the Packers to join Jeff Hafley in Miami. Additionally, assistant defensive line coach Vince Oghobaase, who previously worked with Hafley at Boston College, could also potentially depart. In recent weeks, the Packers have already added several experienced coaches to Gannon’s defensive staff, including former Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Bobby Babich, former San Francisco 49ers defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks, and former Virginia Tech defensive coordinator and Wisconsin native Sam Siefkes, who will coach linebackers. Meanwhile, DeMarcus Covington remains on staff as defensive line coach and run-game coordinator. On the special teams side, the Packers are expected to lose assistant coach Byron Storer, who is reportedly set to become the new special teams coordinator for the Cleveland Browns. Storer has worked alongside Rich Bisaccia since 2018, dating back to their time with the Las Vegas Raiders before joining Green Bay in 2022. Overall, the article outlines how the Packers are continuing to reshape their coaching staff, particularly on defense, while also parting ways with a long-time special teams assistant as they prepare for the next phase of the offseason.
