The Denver Bronco’s 8-8 record left them in 2nd place in the AFC West for the 2008 season, and the third season in a row of failing to make the playoffs left head coach Mike Shanahan out of a job. In addition to the head coach, the team released over 20 players, including quarterback Jay Cutler, cornerback Dre Bly and defensive end Ebenezer Ekuban. Under new head coach Josh McDaniels, the team has added over 30 new players, including quarterback Kyle Orton, wide receiver Jabar Gaffney and safeties Renaldo Hill and Brian Dawkins. Though the team will have some adjustments to make to come together as a whole, the changes have been for the better, and the 2009 season should be an exciting one to watch.

Some Denver Broncos history: Denver has been one of the AFC's most consistent teams since the mid-1970s. From 1977 to 1999 the team reached the playoffs 13 times and the Super Bowl six times. Longtime Broncos quarterback John Elway reached the NFL's all-time top five in career passing yards, quarterback rushing yards, and completions. Former head coach Dan Reeves compiled one of the highest winning percentages (.581) in NFL history during his 12 seasons with the club.
