1. AFC West offseason: Will Broncos' stars return?

By Lindsay Jones - USA Today

"Now that the 2014 NFL season is over, it's time to take a look into preparations for the 2015 season with the NFL scouting combine less than two weeks away in Indianapolis. This is one in a series of team-by-team looks at the needs of each AFC team. Other AFC divisions will be posted throughout the day.

DENVER BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos might be the four-time defending AFC West champions, but that didn't spare them from a major overhaul heading into 2015, starting with the departure of former head coach John Fox and much of his staff. Broncos' general manager John Elway hired his former backup, Gary Kubiak to be head coach, and Kubiak hired former Broncos' head coach Wade Phillips to run the defense. It led to a lot of feel-good reunion stories in January, but how will it translate to wins? So much of that answer depends on if quarterback Peyton Manning decides to return."    READ MORE…

2. Chiefs have a decision to make with center Rodney Hudson

By Terez Paylor - The Kansas City Star

"Rodney Hudson knows what it's like to suffer a serious injury, work your way through the self-doubt and survive to come out clean on the other side.

In many ways, his performance this season offered proof that Hudson, a fourth-year center, is finally back to being the player he was, physically, before breaking his left leg in the third game of the 2012 season."    READ MORE…

5. ECHL commmissioner: Mavs' Hunt Jr. will be a huge asset to league

By James Dornbrook - The Kansas City Business Journal

"Brian McKenna, commissioner of the ECHL hockey league, said having new Missouri Mavericks owner Lamar Hunt Jr. in the league will be beneficial not only for the local hockey team, but the entire minor hockey league system.

The ECHL is a "AA" league with affiliations to teams in the "AAA" American Hockey League, both of which develop players for the National Hockey League. The two minor leagues have been in the midst of major restructuring during the past year. This past fall, the Central Hockey League — which the Missouri Mavericks had belonged to — was dissolved and the teams were absorbed by the ECHL, creating a true nationwide AA hockey league for the first time in the 27-year history of the league."    READ MORE…)
