how do you know he hasn't gone into negotiations with other players, and because we didn;t sign them he pulled out the "we want to promote from within line"
just because the papers haven't said that the Broncos are talking to player x or player y doesn't mean they haven't.
You are right, I don't know for sure if we have gone into negotiations. I can only make inferences on what we here from Hook and White and look at who has come to the club and who has left.
Most of the comments are along the lines of no we aren't going to talk with x or y are not contemplating it, we are building our future from within and blah blah blah. Their words have been backed up by the evidence that we haven't signed anyone noteworthy.
So either we are not in negotiations or we are in negotiations and the players don't want to come to the Broncos. I think even the latter is much much worse, and is also, in part, another reflection on the coach.
So tbh I hope that we are not in negotiations and that the Broncos is still a desirable place to play.
