Broncos Mailbag: What kind of offense will Sean Payton run in Denver?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:34:47 GMT

Denver Post Broncos writer Parker Gabriel posts his Broncos Mailbag weekly during the season. Submit questions to Parker here.Hi Parker, I’m glad to see that the Broncos made a big splash in free agency by shoring up the offensive line. I feel like it’s been a long, long time coming. Maybe we’ll get to see Russell Wilson actually have some more time instead of instantly meeting pass rushers this year. Maybe we’ll actually see a competent offense. What do you think the front five will look like in Week 1?— Mark, ArvadaHey Mark, thanks, as always, for writing in.Indeed, the Broncos did make a big splash in free agency. They agreed to terms with both right tackle Mike McGlinchey (five years, up to $87.5 million) and guard Ben Powers (four years, up to $52 million) on Monday.Certainly the Broncos were inconsistent at times in 2022 protecting Wilson, but Denver’s league-leading 63 sacks taken were not all on the offensive line, either. McGlinchey and Powers ...

Europe slowly understands the importance of the Abraham Accords

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:34:47 GMT

The symposium organized last week by the European Coalition for Israel in the European Parliament was a first of its kind that brought together European stakeholders both from the European Commission and the European Parliament with some of the key states behind the Abraham Accords to discuss the next steps of the normalisation process. After the signing of the Abraham Accords, which normalized Israel’s relations with several Arab states in 2020, the European Union remained on the sidelines and was rather unenthusiastic to the new development in the Mideast, writes Yossi Lempkowicz.Trapped in an old narrative about the Mideast peace process and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the EU was reluctant to embrace the Abraham Accords which were viewed as an American initiative led by then President Donald Trump, his son-in-law Jared Kushner nd other senior officials in the administration.According to Dutch member of the European Parliament Bert-Jan Ruissen, who is Vice Chairman of the pa...
