Broncos news: Drew Brees nearly unretired to play playoff game for Denver appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Hall of Famer Drew Brees came remarkably close to returning to the NFL last season after the Denver Broncos lost quarterback Bo Nix to a fractured ankle in their divisional-round overtime win over the Buffalo Bills, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.
With the AFC Championship Game against the New England Patriots approaching, then-Broncos offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive ***** istant Pete Carmichael contacted Brees about potentially playing for Denver. Both coaches had previously worked with Brees during their time with the New Orleans Saints, giving the situation an immediate connection to the quarterback.
Brees, who was 47 at the time, did not reportedly immediately reject the proposal. Instead, he wanted to determine whether his body could handle an NFL comeback. He worked out with the possibility of playing in the AFC ***** le game, but discomfort in his wrist ultimately ended the idea.

ESPN's Adam Schefter dropped a bombshell just before the Denver Broncos' matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on "Monday Night Football", reporting that some members of the Broncos staff explored the idea of bringing in former New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees for the AFC Championship Game in January.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton didn't know Denver's then-offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive ***** istant Pete Carmichael were talking about Brees joining the team after Bo Nix suffered an injury in the Broncos' overtime win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round.
The Broncos were set to turn to backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham to lead the offense against a stiff New England Patriots defense in snowy conditions at Empower Field at Mile High.
Denver wasn't sure if Brees would make the start over Stidham, a 2019 fourth-round pick by the Patriots who had only made four career starts before the AFC championship.
A Broncos source told Schefter that Brees was confident he knew how to win that type of contest.

It looks like the Denver Broncos were this close to seeing their 2025 season take an eye-popping turn. On Monday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees had considered coming out of retirement to join the Broncos in the postseason last year.
Per Schefter, Brees had conversations with the team's then-offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive ****** istant Pete Carmichael about the quarterback potentially playing in the AFC championship. The Broncos had lost starting QB Bo Nix to a broken ankle in the final plays of the divisional win over the Buffalo Bills, leaving an opening at QB1 that was being filled by backup Jarrett Stidham.
The 47-year-old Brees said that he wanted to work out first to see how his body was doing, but "discomfort" in Brees' wrist led him to turn down the offer, per Schefter.
Lombardi and Carmichael, along with Broncos head coach Sean Payton, all worked with Brees during his time with the New Orleans Saints. However, Payton only heard about the plot to entice Brees back to the NFL this offseason, with the plan leaving him "both fascinated and flabbergasted," per Schefter
However, Denver maybe could have used Brees in the ****** le game, as the team lost 10-7 to the New England Patiotrs; Stidham made crucial mistakes in the loss.

Drew Brees went into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this summer, but he considered coming out of retirement with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback explored joining the Denver Broncos ahead of January's AFC Championship Game, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported.
The conversations followed Bo Nix's fractured ankle in Denver's Jan. 17 playoff victory over the Buffalo Bills. Then-offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi and offensive **** istant Pete Carmichael, two of Brees' longtime coaches in New Orleans, contacted him about a potential return.
Brees had turned 47 just two days before Nix was injured. He wanted to test his body before committing to a comeback, but wrist discomfort during his workout ended the possibility, Schefter reported.
The initial talks happened without Sean Payton's involvement. Lombardi and Carmichael first wanted to see whether Brees was interested, and Payton didn't learn about their conversations until the offseason, according to Schefter.
Had Brees felt ready to return, Denver would've signed him and evaluated whether he or Jarrett Stidham would start, Schefter noted. One Broncos source explained to ESPN how the team viewed the possibility: "At a minimum, you sign (Brees), he's 1A or 1B. And Drew's point was: 'I know how to win a game like that.'"

Despite star quarterback Justin Herbert being unquestionably one of the best players in the league, he hasn't been able to lead the Chargers to the sort of playoff success that would typically come with a player of his caliber.
This offseason, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh hired former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel as his new offensive coordinator, guaranteeing, if nothing else, that this would be an interesting season, with the Chargers pairing two of the league's most eccentric personalities.
Eccentric as they may be, it's hard to deny that Harbaugh and McDaniel are anything other than two of the sharpest minds in football, with Fox Sports ***** yst Colin Cowherd going as far as to say that Harbaugh has a case as the greatest football coach of all time.
"If you count college and pro, I would make an argument today, the greatest coach in the history of football is not Bill Belichick or Bill Walsh or Vince Lombardi. It's Jim Harbaugh. The greatest coach ever," Cowherd said. "Think about this, he's never failed. He's five for five. At San Diego, Stanford, San Francisco 49ers, Michigan and the Chargers, he's never failed."
Now, Harbaugh is making a similarly bold statement about his quarterback.

Prince William and Kate Middleton dropped their eldest son, Prince George, off at Eton today. While it was a monumental day for the Wales family, it also marks a return to work from summer vacation for William and Kate. Today's outing marks a return to Eton for William, who attended the school from 1995 to 2000. Kate, meanwhile, completed her secondary studies at Marlborough College, a co-ed boarding school.
For the occasion, the Princess of Wales chose an emerald Emilia Wickstead dress and Gianvito Rossi pumps. She accesorized with a statement Laura Lombardi necklace and Cartier earrings, and carried an umbrella to stay dry as it drizzled.

The torch has officially been passed. The glorious era of the Allen family's ownership of the Seattle Seahawks has officially come to an end. In the week leading up to the season opener, ownership transferred from the Paul Allen estate to the Khosla family. This was inevitable following the NFL's approval in late August of the record $9.6 billion dollar sale Vinod Khosla put forth.
Now, Vinod and his family are in charge of the Seahawks. Vinod himself carries the ****** le of Chair of the Seahawks. His wife Neeru Khosla is now designated as the Controlling Owner of the Seahawks, and President of their Charitable Foundation. Their son, Neal Khosla, is the Vice Chair of the Seahawks.
But we at Seahawks Wire would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the legacy of Paul and Jody Allen, and what they gave to both the Seahawks franchise and the Pacific Northwest. Under their leadership, they helped transform the Seahawks into a national, championship caliber brand. Paul saved the city from being relocated to the Los Angeles area under the previous ownership of Ken Behring. Part of his purchase agreement included the Washington state legislature to hold a statewide referendum on funding a new stadium, which passed, paving the way for the iconic Lumen Field.
Paul Allen transformed a middling NFL franchise into one of the NFL's more recognizable teams. Seattle went from having only one division ****** le and four playoff appearances to nine division ****** les, three conference championships and the franchise's first Lombardi. As we at Seahawks Wire wrote in an article regarding the sale of the team back in late January of this year:
"His (Paul Allen's) death in 2018 shook the city and the 12's, as he represented the best kind of owner any fan would want for their team."

The University of North Carolina's football program has struggled, as they currently hold a losing record under head coach Bill Belichick. Amid the losses, UNC general manager Michael Lombardi has resigned after being placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation. And recently, the current defensive coordinator Steve Belichick is also under investigation on suspicion of drug use while on the job. ESPN ****** yst Kevin Clark gives his take on the UNC saga as the team is only one game into their 2026 season.
On the latest episode of First Take, Clark was asked, "Should UNC already regret hiring Bill Belichick?" to which he gave a brazen response, ripping Belichick and the organization as a whole for their incompetence.
"Yeah, yes, and part of it, there's so much that goes into it; part of it is that the ceiling is eight wins, nine wins for Bill Belichick in college football. They simply don't have the resources; they don't want to put the resources towards building a playoff team. And I think that there was maybe an expectation that this was going to be old college football, and that Belichick could go into a living room and say 'look at my Super Bowl rings' and get five stars. That is no longer the case, if it ever was the case," Clark said.
"This is UNC football; it's always going to be on the back burner. So what this has done, this era in the last two years, has brought embarrassment to the university; the Michael Lombardi saga has brought more embarrassment to it, and now we have the Steve Belichick investigation; it's not gonna work from a football perspective and hasn't worked from an on-field perspective… Yes, they should regret hiring Bill Belichick, and yes, I think it will end sooner rather than later."
As the 1-0 Tar Heels try to look past the off-field turmoil, their next matchup will be a home opener against the East Tennessee State Buccaneers on August 12th.

With the news earlier this evening that Michael Lombardi has resigned as General Manager, WRAL has reported that UNC is still looking into a number of allegations surrounding the football program. The allegations are quite serious, and would almost certainly be enough for several more people to lose their jobs.
According to WRAL, lawyers are investigating whether defensive coordinator Steve Belichick used drugs while on the job or provided drugs to a player on the team. The younger Belichick has been on leave since over the summer for undisclosed reasons.
There is also an investigation into the existence of inappropriate relationships between recruiting staff and a player as well as ******* istant coaches and recruiting staff. WRAL notes that those questioned in the matter were asked whether or not they'd reported any issues to Bill Belichick.
If there is indeed validity to these claims, particularly if it is confirmed that Bill Belichick was made aware of what was going on within his program, it seems likely that the entire house of cards may fall. While it's clear that Lombardi was a real problem, the school is concerned enough that he was not the root of the entire problem to keep digging into what was going on in the Kenan Football Center.
Some of the allegations simply feel too big to recover from if they are proven to be true. It's a significant black eye on the program and the university that there is enough smoke to even reach this point. Almost the entire Bill Belichick Experience has been a punchline in the college football world, and all of the detractors were just given a boatload more fuel for the fire.

Why UNC football GM Michael Lombardi resigned less than 2 years after being hired by Bill Belichick originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
North Carolina Tar Heels head coach Bill Belichick has made a massive change less than two years into his coaching tenure. On Thursday, ESPN's Pete Thamel reported that Lombardi would be resigning from his position as UNC's general manager, effective immediately.
Lombardi has been placed on paid administrative leave since late July and has not been with the program since. He was still away from the team during UNC's Week Zero victory over TCU, a 15-10 win in Dublin, Ireland.
Per the school, Lombardi remains the subject of two investigations.

North Carolina football general manager Michael Lombardi has resigned, ending the tenure of an immediate hire in Bill Belichick's NFL-to-college coaching transition who had been on on paid administrative leave as the subject of a school investigation.
The school announced Lombardi's resignation Thursday. It also stated it would continue its ongoing investigation and "consider all appropriate corrective actions" as needed.
The school has not released specifics of that probe, noting in its July 27 announcement that employees and athletes aren't permitted to address the topic "as is standard procedure with personnel matters." Three days later, UNC released another statement that said its Office of University Counsel was conducting an investigation, an announcement coming on the first day of preseason camp.
Two people with knowledge of the situation previously told The ***** ociated Press that a human resources complaint from a former employee was involved. They spoke on condition of anonymity because the school wasn't publicly discussing case details.
Attorney Tom Mars, who is working with Lombardi, released a statement from his client confirming the resignation Thursday.

#resignation #statement

CHAPEL HILL — UNC football general manager Michael Lombardi has resigned, the university announced Aug. 3.
"The University will continue its ongoing investigation and will consider all appropriate corrective actions responsive to the information it learns," UNC released in a school-issued statement.
On Friday, July 31, lawyer Tom Mars released a statement in response to the Lombardi situation.
"Michael hasn't been told anything about the nature of UNC's investigation and welcomes the opportunity to clear his name, which has already been sullied by baseless statements and innuendo on social media," Mars wrote.
"He is fully cooperating with UNC and expects the investigation will be swift, thorough, and fair. Michael would ask that people have the decency to let the process run its course before jumping to any conclusions about the nature of the investigation or whether there's any merit to whatever has been alleged."

Sam Darnold snubbed at No. 100 as ESPN Buries Seahawks' super bowl winner before ***** le defense originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Landing dead last on ESPN's list of the top 100 NFL players for 2026 is a strange fate for a quarterback who just lifted a Lombardi Trophy. Yet that is exactly where Seattle's Sam Darnold sits.
A dozen ESPN ***** ysts and reporters built the ranking around what they expect in 2026 rather than what a player has already banked, which is how a 14-3 record, an NFC crown, and a championship end up buried at the bottom of the ledger.
Seahawks beat writer Brady Henderson wrote the note attached to Darnold's placement, and it read less like a takedown than a backhanded compliment.
"No quarterback has more wins over the past two seasons than Darnold, who has 31 with the Vikings and Seahawks," Henderson wrote. "He'd be higher on this list if not for his league-high 20 turnovers in 2025, though he went the final four games without one. One reason Darnold could be better in 2026: This is the first time since 2020 that he returns to the same team as its unquestioned starter."

The season finale of "Hard Knocks" provided a perfect conclusion to the season in that it was all but conclusory. Throughout the episode, the impending "cut-down day" of the NFL season is approaching. Typically, this can be a very finite moment for players – either you made the roster or you didn't. However, as the Seattle Seahawks like to put it, cut-down day is "not doom and gloom. It's stay strong and keep faith."
Staying strong and keeping the faith on the individual level mirrors what the team needs to do to reach the goal for 2026, to raise the Lombardi Trophy once again. Perhaps that mindset is exactly why "Hard Knocks" chose to end the final scene with Sam Darnold walking off the field breathing loudly and staying the course. Seattle is a place where individuals can flourish, and as a result, the team as a whole is able to grow.
With that being said, let's take a look at some of the best moments from the "Hard Knocks" season finale.
Mike Macdonald starts the episode in his coaches meeting, reminding the staff that cut-down day is looming and to be cognizant that this is a tough time of the season for many players. Macdonald emphases that the message from coaches needs to be that everyone is on a different timetable as to their development.
The Seahawks are shown how to "baptize that chicken" with the help of chef and food influencer Bernard Hardison. Derick Hall is shown enjoying the baptized chicken, while Uso Seumalo gives the feast a 9.7/10 rating.

San Francisco 49ers WR Mike Evans (adductor) will practice next week, according to 49ers GM John Lynch on Tuesday, Sept. 1.
SOURCE: David Lombardi - The San Francisco Standard
Huddle Up: Evans has a little more than a week until the 49ers' regular-season opener in Australia, but the murkiness of this injury couple with Evans' advanced age and only playing eight games last season has fantasy managers a bit spooked. His fantasy football draft stock is falling day by day, so perhaps he could be a bit of a value on draft day if his adductor injury is something Evans can work through and gut out. That said, he's more of a fantasy WR3 right now rather than the locked-in starter he's been for the last dozen seasons.

Two NFL seasons have transpired without should-be Hall of Fame head coach Bill Belichick, who had spent half of a century in pro football.
Today at noon ET, he embarks on his second season at the college level, with North Carolina.
Like last year, the season commenced with a game against TCU. (It started well, before imploding.) Unlike last year, the game will be played not in Chapel Hill but in Dublin, Ireland.
UNC won't have defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, who remains on medical leave. And the Tar Heels haven't had the services of G.M. Michael Lombardi, who was placed on paid administrative leave last month while the school conducts an internal investigation of him.
The bigger question is the quality of the roster that Belichick and Lombardi have compiled for the coming season. They opted to go heavy on high-school recruits for 2026, with less of an emphasis on the transfer portal.

The Kansas City Chiefs will face the toughest opponent on their 2026 preseason schedule when they take on the Seattle Seahawks at Arrowhead Stadium this evening.
Fresh off a victory in Super Bowl LX, the Seahawks are among the NFL's best teams and should prove to be a formidable opponent for the Chiefs to face in Kansas City's preseason finale.
This week, Chiefs Wire sat down with Kole Musgrove of Seahawks Wire to get the inside scoop on Seattle ahead of today's game.
Take a look at Musgrove's answers to our top questions:
"I'm not sure if "improved" is the right word here… I prefer 'maintained.' Yes, Seattle lost their Super Bowl MVP (as y'all are aware!), but they managed to keep so many core, foundational pieces of their roster. Guys like Rashid Shaheed, Derick Hall, and keeping DeMarcus Lawrence around for his final season in 2026. Yes, stars get you over the championship hump, but an incredibly deep roster of quality players is what gets you to compete for the Lombardi. Seattle also managed to flawlessly draft the immediate replacements for Kenneth Walker, Riq Woolen, and Coby Bryant… although with Bud Clark out, they have a new pressing need at safety. The Seahawks are bringing back their offensive and defensive lines intact, their top four pass catchers, and most of their coaching staff with the exception of Klint Kubiak. Seattle is as geared up as any Super Bowl champion I can think of to be able to repeat."

#super #kansas #wire

The reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks are not content to rest on their laurels.
We know this because they have the second-most starters returning from a championship team in the last 15 years. It would be natural for basically the same group of players and coaches to have the same exact ambition: Continuing what they started with February's Lombardi Trophy victory and going for the legendary repeat.
We also know the Seahawks are not content to sit back based on the money they've thrown around this offseason, and even dating back to last summer. Seattle has spent so much money on key members of its current championship core for the foreseeable future that you almost wonder whether the currency they're using is actually Monopoly money. Where does it keep coming from? Oh right, the Seahawks have the Park Place and Boardwalk squares, as well as all the railroads.
With the Thursday news that the Seahawks had extended All-Pro defensive lineman Leonard Williams to a three-year, $90 million contract (with $56 million guaranteed), their plan for the rest of the decade is in full focus. The Seahawks clearly believe they can wring out another championship or two with the current make-up of their team (they are probably correct), because why else would they throw out $634 million in new contracts over the last calendar year? For the fun of it? C'mon now. By total guaranteed money, the recent extensions awarded over just the last several weeks to Williams, star cornerback Devon Witherspoon, and arguably the NFL's best receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba come out to over $273 million.
That's, uh, a lot of cheddar. Let's put it this way: If the Seahawks didn't think they could wrack up a dynasty of sorts, they wouldn't be handing out proverbial blank checks like this all at once. (Note: It would also be a lot harder to spend this money if quarterback Sam Darnold wasn't on such a team-friendly contract. But here we are!)

The preseason finale for the Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers is here, and both teams have made headlines for drastically different things.
The Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick and drafted quarterback Fernando Mendoza. In limited action, the rookie has at times looked the part, and also has shown there's still a ways to go. That much is evident and has led the Raiders to decide they'll give the QB1 job to Kirk Cousins until Mendoza is ready to go.
When Mendoza is ready to go, however, is anyone's guess. The Raiders are determined to slow-play it with their passer of the future, leading to questions of when the passer will make his Sunday debut this season.
The 49ers have eyes on a Lombardi Trophy once again, but they've had to navigate some off-the-field distractions throughout training camp, an inauspicious start to their season. First, it was Kyle Shanahan's car accident and the questions that persisted. In the month that followed, principal owner Jed York was arrested.
In between, the 49ers lost wide receiver Ricky Pearsall to a knee injury, Mike Evans dealt with ****** ps and bruises and substation conspiracy theories resurfaced.

The NFL preseason has begun and every team has played at least one game. We have some idea as to what teams will look like competitively in 2026.
NFL.com's Nick Shook has new preseason power rankings. We have to figure that the Arizona Cardinals are fairly low on the list, but let's see what the NFC West as a whole looks like, compared to the entire league.
You've heard the sound bites, read the headlines and drowned in the tidal wave of optimism. The Rams are Lombardi Trophy favorites, seemingly destined for a march to a Super Bowl that will be played in their home stadium, the same location in which they won their last ******* le. It's never that easy, of course, but GM Les Snead has built a monster in Los Angeles. With Myles Garrett trading brown and orange for royal blue and sol, Aaron Donald nearing a potential return from retirement to hop back onto the bandwagon he once captained, and Matthew Stafford coming off an MVP-winning season, this is a year the Rams go for it all. It will be up to them to make it through to the other side of a season-long gauntlet in their attempt to claim the throne.
This is no surprise. With the return of Matthew Stafford, an offense that was fantastic, and with the defensive additions of Myles Garrett and Trent McDuffie, the Rams are the team to beat in 2026.
The reigning champs lost Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III in free agency, don't yet have his former running mate, Zach Charbonnet, available as he continues on his journey back from a torn ACL, and are placing a lot of backfield responsibility on the likes of rookie Jadarian Price and backup George Holani. Star defender Nick Emmanwori remains on the physically unable to perform list, too, although there's hope Mike Macdonald's ultimate chess piece can return in time for Week 1. Otherwise, everything is great for the Seahawks. Continuity will reign early in 2026, thanks in large part to the return of a familiar starting offensive lineup. The suffocating defense lost some pieces to free agency in the offseason, requiring reinforcement that could be tested, but there's little reason to think the 'Hawks will be anywhere but right back in the thick of the NFC race.

The college football world has had a slew of preseason award watch lists dropped on it lately, and there's been plenty of representation from Ohio State on almost all of them. One of those is the Lombardi Award, handed out annually to college football's best offensive or defensive lineman or linebacker. The award is named after famed NFL coach Vince Lombardi and has been awarded by the Rotary Club of Houston, Texas, since 1970, when all-time Buckeye offensive lineman Jim Stillwagon took home the first award.
Ohio State will be looking to add to its record of six Lombardi winners, with a trio of OSU players on the 2026 preseason watch list. In fact, it's the same three players that appeared on the Outland Trophy preseason watch list: center Carson Hinzman, and fellow offensive linemen Austin Siereveld and Luke Montgomery.
Siereveld, a two-year starter who was thrust into action during Ohio State's 2025 College Football Playoff national championship run, is heading into his redshirt junior season and was arguably the best Ohio State lineman last season. He was solid at left tackle, but may be moved to another position to get the best five guys on the field together. No matter where he plays, he should be the anchor of the line again and will be among some of the best offensive linemen available in the NFL draft next April.
Hinzman, now entering his fifth year, grabbed the starting spot at center in 2023, moved to guard to start the 2024 season, but then was the starting center again for the national championship run when Rimington winner Seth McGlaughlin was lost for the season with injury. The Wisconsin native was then the unquestioned starter at center last season and was an AFCA First Team All-American and Third Team All-Big Ten. He is also on the Rimington preseason watch list for the best center in college football.
Montgomery, like the other two, also carved out a piece of his legacy during the national championship run in 2024. He started the last two games of Ohio State's run and gained the confidence of the coaching staff to start all 14 games last season on the interior. He will be counted on to be another All-Big Ten-type performer. He is entering his junior season having already started 16 total games on the offensive line and appeared in 28 total games.
