What can Broncos get in trade for receivers Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton? Patience may prove to be a virtue.

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:51:05 GMT

As head coach Sean Payton graduated from the snorkel mask to the scuba tank and worked through a deep dive on the Broncos roster in recent weeks, the question that popped up most frequently around the league was whether he and general manager George Paton might consider dealing from their wide receiver group.The Broncos, after all, are heavy salary cap-wise at receiver and light on draft capital.Throw in an underwhelming free agent crop of pass-catchers and it’s no surprise that Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton have been the subject of trade calls from teams around the NFL. The landscape continually changes. Just this week, two notable receivers have been dealt, KJ Hamler suffered a torn pectoral muscle while training on his own that will sideline him 4-6 months and on Friday Denver signed receiver Marquez Callaway to a one-year deal.The central question remains the same, though: Deal Sutton, Jeudy, both or neither? If the Broncos are serious about sticking to their high asking pric...

Mathews: California and I need a jubilee to reflect on the future

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 01:51:05 GMT

Ye shall hallow the 50th year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land… it shall be a jubilee unto you. Leviticus 25:10I’m not grown-up enough to be 50.So perhaps it’s fitting that I passed the half-century mark while coaching California kids in their Little League opener. My party was post-game cupcakes and fourth-grade humor.Or maybe I missed an opportunity to take some time off. Under the Biblical tradition of jubilee, every 50 years you are supposed to forgive debts, free slaves, return property to its owners, and go home to rest.Rest and reassessment sound pretty good right now, and not just for your columnist, who has been banging out these weekly pieces for 10 years.California could use its own jubilee year, to reflect on its future.I, like the state’s 21st century governing system, -am a rare bird, and a child of the 1970s. Fewer people were born in the United States in 1973 than in any year since 1945. It was a tough time — gas lines, Vietnam, Watergate.The resulting p...
