Broncos Linebacker Jonathon Cooper Arrested Again in Domestic-Violence Case

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper was arrested again on charges of violating a protection order stemming from a domestic-violence incident with his girlfriend, marking his second arrest in a week. Prosecutors allege strangulation during the June 4 incident, and a forensic exam indicated serious injury. Cooper appeared in court and received a $5,000 personal recognizance bond with travel restrictions; he faces a July 14 disposition hearing and a July 22-23 jury trial on the prior charges. The NFL’s personal conduct policy could lead to a suspension, and the Broncos say they are monitoring the matter.

Broncos' Brutal Start: No Punishment, Just a Really Tough Schedule

Colin Cowherd floated a conspiracy that the NFL punished the Broncos with a brutal six-game start to target Sean Payton, but the article argues there’s no conspiracy: Denver earned a first‑place schedule after last season’s 14-win run, and while the opening stretch is tough, Weeks 9–16 offer a window to balance the year before a challenging finish.

Broncos 2026 Schedule: Rough Start, Strong Midseason Push, Grueling End

Denver’s 2026 slate opens with a brutal six-game stretch (Chiefs, Jaguars, Rams, 49ers, Chargers, Seahawks) that will test the team early. The Broncos carry a .512 strength of schedule (15th in the NFL), modestly up from last year’s .505. A brighter run awaits from Week 7 through Week 15, featuring a softer mix of opponents—Cardinals, Panthers, Raiders, Dolphins, Jets—plus a Week 10 bye to help a late push. The finish is harsh, with three playoff teams (Bills, Patriots, Chargers) looming in the final three weeks. If Denver navigates the opener around .500, the midseason stretch could set up a playoff push and a tight AFC West race.

Four Draft Spots That Could Sink 2026 Fantasy Football Prospects

The piece argues the 2026 fantasy class isn’t deep and flags four unfavorable landing spots for its top prospects: Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr. to the Jets; Denzel Boston to the Browns; Jonah Coleman to the Broncos; and Mike Washington Jr. to the Raiders. It cautions that volatile QB play, uncertain roles, and backfield committees could sap volume and upside, making this a challenging year for fantasy managers.

Broncos Bet on Red Murdock: Takeaway King as Mr. Irrelevant

Broncos Bet on Red Murdock: Takeaway King as Mr. Irrelevant

Denver used the final pick of the 2024 NFL draft to select Buffalo linebacker Khalil 'Red' Murdock (Mr. Irrelevant). Known for a college-record 17 forced fumbles and 358 tackles over his last three seasons, Murdock combines instinct and a relentless motor with a less-fast 40-yard dash (about 4.67). The Broncos view him as a potential special-teams standout who could develop into a regular contributor behind the starters, thanks to his make-up and tackling instincts. GM George Paton praised his take-away talent and intangibles, while Murdock emphasized a team-first mindset as he competes for a roster spot among other depth linebackers in camp.

Broncos' 2026 Draft Yields Mixed But Solid Grades Across Analysts

Denver leveraged multiple trades to assemble seven picks (no first/third round) focused on trenches, backfield, and tight end after trading for Jaylen Waddle; analysts gave a range of grades from A to C+, praising Denver's disciplined fill of needs but acknowledging the hit of missing early selections, with NFL Media giving A/A-/B+ across days, CBS Sports praising Coleman and Casey, ESPN at C+, and PFF at C- despite highlighting seventh-round Red Murdock as a standout.

Broncos Turn Seven Draft Picks Into Value Without Early Rounds

Denver navigated the 2026 NFL draft without a first- or second-round pick, trading for Jaylen Waddle and then moving down to exit Round 2, before landing seven selections (Tyler Onyedim, Jonah Coleman, Kage Casey, Justin Joly, Miles Scott, Dallen Bentley and Red Murdock) across rounds 3, 4, 4, 5 and 7. The piece grades each pick as a solid fit, notes they fill key roster needs, and argues the class aligns with Sean Payton and George Paton’s vision, offering development-ready depth rather than immediate starters.

Broncos add run-stopping depth with 2026 pick Tyler Onyedim

Denver used a late-second-to-third-round swap to draft Texas A&M defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim, reinforcing the Broncos' emphasis on trench play. The 6’3”, 292-pound lineman brings length, run-stopping versatility, and experience at multiple DL spots, but his pass-rush production and consistency need development, so he’ll compete with Sai’vion Jones for a developmental role in Denver’s defensive rotation.

Broncos Draft Onyedim, Put Jordan Jackson's Job in Jeopardy

Denver traded down to No. 66 to select Texas A&M defensive lineman Tyler Onyedim in Round 3, a versatile, NFL-ready addition who could contribute immediately and bolster the Broncos’ defensive line; the pick pressures veteran DT Jordan Jackson, who played in 17 games in 2024 but saw limited action in 2025, as Denver also views Eyioma Uwazurike, Sai'vion Jones, and Matt Henningsen as potential replacements for John Franklin-Myers, meaning Jackson must prove himself this summer to keep his spot on the roster.
