The Denver Broncos' window to compete for a championship starts now. In the NFL, teams are built-in 'windows'. The current structure of contracts provides the organizational flexibility to move on from bad contracts or keep ascending players on good deals as the salary cap continues to rise.
With the team as it is currently constructed, this group of Broncos has a two-to-three-year window to challenge in the AFC. Now, that does not mean they can only compete for those years, but the roster may look quite different after that window closes.
John Elway reminded Broncos Country that his plan was not only to win now but to win from now on.
