Russell Wilson may play at Empower Field in 2024 after all. It would just be in the black and gold. Wilson, who has not even been formally released by the Broncos but is set to be later this week, announced Sunday night that he plans to sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Multiple outlets have reported that the sides have an agreement on a one-year contract. Wilson will likely play at the veteran minimum of $1.21 million because he has $39 million in guaranteed salary from Denver for the 2024 season. The Broncos will pay all of that amount except for…

A gift received at the end of the first half to equalize. A calm, collected stunner in the second half to take the lead. That was the recipe for the Rapids’ first win of the Chris Armas era, a 2-1 victory over Real Salt Lake on Saturday night at America First Field in Salt Lake City It doesn’t get much better than finding three points in the Rocky Mountain Cup, something the Rapids haven’t done in multiple seasons.

From the mountains to the prairies, Colorado’s housing crisis is squeezing state residents in ways that make drastic choices an all-too-common part of their cost-of-living calculus.

A homebuyer misery index from the Common Sense Institute found households in the state’s largest counties facing record-high levels of stress. When The Denver Post put out a call for residents who wanted to talk about the burdens of their housing costs, dozens of people responded.…

The author Irene Middleman Thomas with the bison sculpture at Natrona Airport in Casper, Wyoming. (Courtesy of Irene Middleman Thomas/Special to The Denver Post) Just more than a four-hour drive from Denver or via a one-hour direct flight, there is a place that defied my expectations in a BIG way. Happily, on a recent visit, I discovered that Casper, Wyoming, is a delightful, diverse, happening, Western-feel town with a hefty dose of sophistication. From the moment I entered the airport (just one baggage carousel!) and saw the life-sized bison sculpture, I felt that “cowboy” vibe, and gave in to a…

Parker Gabriel, Broncos beat reporter: What’s up, y’all? Been quite a week for the football club, eh? Russell Wilson informed of his eventual release Monday. Justin Simmons released Thursday. It’s going to be a different-looking team in 2024, that’s for sure. The big question, of course, is the quarterback position. What are the Broncos going to do? So here’s the question I pose to you keen observers: What should they do? I go back and forth on this, but recently I’ve surprised myself with the answer I keep coming back to: Given the team picks No. 12 in the draft…

As another season of tubing down Clear Creek in Golden beckons, the city is considering a novel approach to controlling the crowds that descend on the popular waterway: a reservation system. The discussions are still in the early stages and the system, if it moves forward, wouldn’t be implemented until 2025. But the mere idea of requiring people to sign up for a float down Clear Creek is a testament to the increasing number of people Golden has had to manage on the water in recent years, especially in the wake of a pandemic-fueled turn to the outdoors. “People feel…
