Mar 25, 2022 9:13 AM

A portion of Denver's Mile High Stadium caught fire on Thursday.

The fire burned in a portion of the club level on the east side of Empower Field at Mile High. The Denver Fire Department responded at about 2:15 p.m. MDT to a fire that began in a construction zone in that part of the stadium.

There was a stadium tour underway at the time, and the group -- as well as employees who were working in that part of the stadium -- was evacuated from the stadium. No injuries were reported.

A Denver Fire Department spokesman said the fire covered "over 1,000 square feet'' and began on a suite level -- the fourth level -- of the stadium and then spread into seats in the third level.

Broncos Prepared To Make Competitive Offer For Aaron Rodgers

Mar 7, 2022 12:02 PM

The Denver Broncos are a potential trade candidate for Aaron Rodgers should he decide he wants to play elsewhere this offseason.

The Broncos are willing to compete to acquire Rodgers through a new contract and draft pick compensation to the Green Bay Packers.

One source stressed to ESPN that the Packers would want so much in compensation that a trade would be difficult to execute. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers are believed to have inquired on Rodgers, but their level of involvement is unclear.

Broncos GM: 'Everything' Is On Table To Find Quarterback

Mar 2, 2022 8:35 AM

George Paton said at the NFL scouting combine that "everything is on the table" in the Denver Broncos' pursuit of a quarterback, including trading multiple first-round picks to get one or bringing back Teddy Bridgewater.

The Broncos hold the No. 9 pick in the first round and five selections among the first 100 in the draft.

Asked specifically if he would consider trading multiple first-round picks as part of a deal to acquire a quarterback, Paton said: "I just think that's the flexibility you have when you have a lot of picks. We have 11 picks, so if we had to give a little to go get a player, we can do it, and it's not going to handcuff you for the draft ... Everything's on the table; we do like having picks."
