The 2025 NFL season is about to pick up steam with teams beginning training camp in about a week. Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos are going to enter the upcoming campaign as one of the most intriguing teams in the league.
Last season, the Broncos made a surprising run to the playoffs. Led by their rookie quarterback Nix, Denver finished the year with a 10-7 record.
Unfortunately, the Broncos were unable to pull off a win in the Wild Card round of the playoffs against the Buffalo Bills, but the future is extremely bright.

With that in mind, talk show host Kay Adams did not hold back recently when talking about Nix.
During a segment on her "Up & Adams Show," Adams spoke out boldly about the Broncos' second-year quarterback. She is clearly expecting a year two leap from Nix.
"Bo Nix, 4,000-plus [passing] yards. I like this one a lot. ... Once Bo got comfy last year, he completely lit it up. If you take his final 10 [games] of the year and pace that out over a full season, that is a 4,300-yard, 41-touchdown pace," Adams said.
"And now he's got more weapons as he heads into year two. Give me all the Bo Nix stock for 2025."
What weapons did Denver add for Nix during the 2025 NFL offseason? The Broncos went out and added tight end Evan Engram, running backs J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey, and wide receiver Pat Bryant.
Add those talented players to a group that has Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr., and Troy Franklin and the offense looks even better.

Throughout the course of the 2024 NFL season, Nix played in all 17 regular season games. He completed 66.3 percent of his pass attempts for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions, while also picking up 430 yards and scoring four touchdowns on the ground.
At just 25 years old, Nix is one of the top up-and-coming quarterbacks in the NFL. He has the potential to become a legitimate superstar and has the Broncos looking like a legitimate contender once again.
Denver will start off the 2025 NFL season with a Week 1 matchup at home against the Tennessee Titans on September 7.

Reports: NFL, NFLPA covered up fake injury grievance ruling
The NFL and NFLPA concealed another grievance ruling from earlier this year, according to reports from Pro Football Talk and the "Pablo Torre Finds Out" podcast. Recently, ESPN reported that the NFL and NFLPA agreed to conceal findings of a grievance filed by the players union, in which an arbitrator found that the league had encouraged its owners to engage in collusion. On July 17, Pablo Torre and Mike Florio revealed that the NFL won a different grievance ruling against the NFLPA earlier this year. The league originally filed the grievance in September 2023 accusing the union of encouraging players to fake injuries. It came as a result of JC Tretter's comments months earlier alluding that faking injuries was a way for a player to avoid fines in contract negotiation holdouts. NFL COLLUSION GRIEVANCE: League and players union agreed to keep arbitration findings secret, per report Said Tretter at the time: "I think we've seen issues — now, I don't think anybody would say they were fake injuries, but we've seen players who didn't want to be where they currently are, have injuries that made them unable to practice and play, but you're not able to get fined, and you're not able to be punished for not reporting. So there are issues like that. I don't think I'm allowed to ever recommend that, at least publicly, but I think each player needs to find a way to build up leverage to try to get a fair deal. And that's really what all these guys are looking for, is to be compensated fairly." According to Florio and Torre's reporting, a Feb. 20 decision from a non-injury grievance arbitrator gave the NFL a win following their complaint. A statement the league wrote to Pro Football Talk read: "The Arbitrator upheld the Management Council's grievance in its entirety and found that Mr. Tretter's statements violated the CBA by improperly encouraging players to fake injury." The statement went on to clarify that the NFL did not allege any specific player faked an injury and that the league's issue was with Tretter and the union potentially encouraging the behavior. The league alleged the NFLPA violated an article in the two parties' collective bargaining agreement that prohibits the union from, as Florio put it, "engag[ing] in de facto, individualized strikes." Neither party disclosed the outcome of the decision publicly in the immediate aftermath of the NFL's arbitration victory. Florio suggested in his article that the cover-up may have been the result of a behind-closed-doors agreement. If the NFLPA agreed not to publicize the findings from a collusion grievance that found the NFL encouraged owners to engage in collusion to keep down player contract values, the league would not expose their grievance win regarding fake injuries.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice sentenced to 5 years probation, 30 days in jail after multi-car crash in Dallas
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to five years probation and 30 days of jail time by a Dallas County judge, per the Dallas County District Attorney's Office. Rice pled guilty to two felony charges related to the receiver's role in a multi-car crash last year. Rice was sentenced to deferred probation as a result of the plea deal, meaning that his case will be dismissed if he successfully completes probation. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the 30 days of jail time can be served at any point during Rice's five years on probation. Additionally, Rice was ruled to pay the medical expenses of all of the victims, totaling $115,481.91. The incident took place on March 30, 2024, as Rice drove 119 miles per hour in a Lamborghini during rush hour traffic, per the DA's office. Rice hit other vehicles in the process, causing a chain reaction that affected multiple cars; following the crash, Rice fled on foot. After the crash, Rice was sued for $1 million by the two people who were injured in the crash. That lawsuit was settled on Wednesday, according to Dallas County court records. As a result of the ruling, Rice will pay out $1 million to the two plaintiffs and will pay their lawyer's fees. The rulings open the NFL to discipline Rice directly. Rice is expected to receive a multi-game suspension that, per Schefter, the wide receiver is expected to serve this season. The Washington Post, however, reported that any decision to suspend is "not close to final" at this point. The media release from the DA's office included a statement from Rice's lawyer, Royce West, on Rice's behalf. "Last March, I was involved in a high-speed accident in Dallas. There have been a lot of sleepless nights thinking about the damages that my actions caused, and I will continue working within my means to make sure that everyone impacted will be made whole. I urge everyone to mind the speed limit, drive safe and drive smart," Rice said in the statement. "Last and certainly not least, I am profoundly sorry for the physical damages to person and property. I fully apologize for the harm I caused to innocent drivers and their families." Rice had a shortened 2025 season due to injury, going on injured reserve in early October. He underwent season-ending LCL surgery the next week. The 25-year-old receiver. participated in the Chiefs' voluntary OTAs last month, and returned to Kansas City this week for mandatory minicamp.
