Editor’s note: Eighth in a series previewing the Broncos’ position groups entering training camp. Today, inside linebackers.On the roster (seven): Seth Benson, Jonas Griffith, Josey Jewell, Drew Sanders, Alex Singleton, Justin Strnad, Ray Wilborn.How many on the 53? Four or five.Most impactful offseason move: Re-signing Singleton to a three-year deal.Last summer the Broncos brought Singleton in on a one-year deal to provide depth and play special teams.

Lots of decisions to be made soon with Rockies. Have you heard anything regarding German Marquez? It would be a tough end to his Rockies tenure if he’s not re-signed. Is there chatter about a multi-year extension to allow German to rehab with the team next year with an eye to having him at the top of the rotation in ’25 and maybe beyond?Also, a couple of Kris Bryant questions, if you’ll indulge me. In nearly every interview I’ve seen “KB” do, he says something along the lines that because he was elite early in his career for minimal pay, he deserves every penny of his current contract. That only works if the Cubs are paying him! Does he really not feel any pressure to be on the field and producing at a level befitting his salary? Secondly, do you thin...
