Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:53:43 GMT

Denver has signed 12 players in the first 10 days of free agency, including nine newcomers and three defensive returners. There’s plenty of work still to be done this offseason, but with the heavy lifting in free agency likely mostly done, here’s a look at some winners and losers for the Broncos so far.WinnersQB Russell WilsonFinal grades aren’t in just yet and Wilson could still lose a receiver if the Broncos decide to make a trade, but overall it’s hard not to think of him as perhaps the single biggest winner for Denver so far in free agency. General manager George Paton jumped right to the top of the market to sign Mike McGlinchey and Ben Powers in an offensive line remodel. He got a fullback an accomplished blocking tight end and a running back in Samaje Perine who should make third-down life easier for the quarterback after the Broncos were historically bad on that down in 2022.

Gov. Jared Polis and Democratic lawmakers unveiled their sweeping land-use legislation package Wednesday, a first-in-decades reform that would reshape Colorado’s patchwork zoning system in an attempt to address the state’s housing shortages.The legislation — primarily coming from one, 106-page bill — will seek to encourage denser building in key urban areas; to better study and plan to address housing needs; and cut “red tape” and clear the way for property owners to build more units on their land. The bill would direct the state Department of Local Affairs to draft “model” housing codes for cities, though local governments would have the ability to accept minimum standards into their current regulations. If they don’t, the department’s model code would be placed upon them.The bills, set to be introduced Wednesday, represent Polis’s primary approach to solving the state’s housing crisis. The goal, the governor a...
