The Denver Broncos have clearly emphasized continuity in recent seasons.
After focusing on re-signing their in-house free agents this spring, the Broncos gave new, five-year contracts to general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton. The organization has stability from the top down, and players appreciate it.

“For professionals, I think it’s kind of underrated because we sort of take it for granted that we can just sort of bring another guy in or change a team,” quarterback Bo Nix said in June. “We’re professionals, we’ll handle it right. But you look at the teams that stick together for a long time, they end up winning. That’s kind of how, historically, that’s how it was. You didn’t go from team to team as much. You look at the Knicks, they played in college together, and then they play a few years in the pros and they win a championship at a place it hadn’t been done in a long time.
“I think the culture, and the connectivity and everything that goes into play, I think we’re just comfortable playing with each other. At the same time, we go through a season like last year, and we see all these tight games that we won and pulled off, I think it just tells us that we can go this year and do it again. We just have a lot of confidence, and I think that helps as a team.”
Denver has brought back a majority of the roster that reached the AFC Championship game last season (they fell four points short of a Super Bowl berth after Nix broke his ankle). Nix is now on track to be fully healthy for training camp, and the team will look to once again contend for a title.
