Denver could privately fund Burnham Yard via personal seat licenses (PSLs), a one-time fee granting the right to buy favored seats. PSLs are common in the NFL and frequently tied to stadium construction, sometimes becoming ongoing revenue. With about 22,000 season-ticket holders and a waitlist of over 100,000, PSLs could unlock substantial upfront capital without new taxes, especially alongside tax-increment financing for infrastructure. The Bills’ highmark example shows PSLs can generate hundreds of millions when demand is strong. Broncos executives have not decided, but PSLs represent a proven private funding lever while public subsidies via TIF remain a possibility.

PSLs shift some cost to ticket buyers rather than taxpayers, raising questions about pricing tiers, resale markets, and fan equity. Analysts note that the model works best when paired with a clear cap on licenses and strategic allocation across premium and core seating to avoid fraying the fan base. If pursued, Broncos PSLs would become a cornerstone of Burnham Yard financing, potentially accelerating construction while maintaining privately funded goals.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is day-to-day with a knee issue ahead of Week 3 versus the Raiders. He must clear strength and agility markers before returning to practice and potentially game action. If he can’t clear in time, Marcus Mariota stands as the trusted fallback with a veteran’s steadying presence. Final status is likely Friday, driving a game-time decision that will shape fantasy lineups and the offense’s tempo against a Las Vegas defense hungry for turnover.

Dan Quinn reinforces a patient return, prioritizing Marc-Only steps and welfare over haste. The contingency plan hinges on Mariota’s readiness and Daniels’ progression through practice, with the Raiders matchup amplifying the stakes for targets, rushing lanes, and play-caller flexibility as Week 3 approaches.
