The disappointing 2022 season has come for the Denver Broncos in 2023.
It has not been a good start for the Denver Broncos, and it looks as if there are rumblings that things may be getting much worse as well. After a fourth loss — and a third-straight game in which their once-prized defense was manhandled — the Denver Broncos are on the brink.
With head coach Sean Payton in charge, things have not gone well for the franchise as they have started 1-4 and have been the laughingstock of the league during that stretch.
The latest loss came at the hands of the New York Jets, who had extra motivation to win the game due to the words Payton directed at former Broncos head coach and current Jets offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett.
According to James Palmer of NFL Network, some Broncos players believe there’s a chance significant changes are coming to the roster.
“Being there yesterday, the sense that I get from players in that locker room is a potential teardown is coming,” Palmer said. “That’s just the way some of these players feel.”

“Being there yesterday, the sense that I get from players in that locker room is a potential teardown is coming,” Palmer said. “That’s just the way some of these players feel.”
The Broncos are 1-4 and already traded Randy Gregory. More moves could be coming. The Broncos are on the verge of yet another lost season which is hardly what the franchise expected when Sean Payton was traded for this past offseason.
Palmer noted that roster moves could come “before the trade deadline.”
“That move… that’s what really shook up this group if you ask my opinion, talking to players, it was ‘OK, now Sean Payton’s gonna come in and start doing things his way, in a sense,'” Palmer said.
Payton took over a team that went 5-12 last season while pairing him with veteran quarterback Russell Wilson.
The Broncos have not been able to find consistency on offense and their defense is just as bad.
