Four.Most impactful offseason move: Signing Manhertz in free agency.In both actions and words, coach Sean Payton has made it clear he wants the Broncos offense to run the dang ball. Beefing up the offensive line via free agency became a priority, but so, too, was adding Manhertz. The veteran tight end is regarded as one of the better run blockers at his position. He’s played in 104 career NFL games (49 starts) and caught just 24 passes on 36 targets in that span. His primary job isn’t to make big plays in the passing game, it’s to move people in the run game.Biggest question to answer in camp: Is Dulcich ready to become The Guy?As the offseason program progressed, you could almost see Payton’s ...

Now the family is suing the ride-hailing company, alleging the driver’s negligence led to his death.The crash that killed 21-year-old Cory Hunter occurred just before 3 a.m. on Sunday, May 21. At the time, the California Highway Patrol only identified Hunter as a pedestrian who somehow had made it to the fast lane of the 91 near the Serfas Club Drive exit in Norco.Hunter died at the scene after an oncoming Toyota Corolla hit him, the CHP said. But his family said the CHP report left out that Hunter was only on the freeway after his ride left without him.“They said that he was just walking on the freeway,” said his mother, Rhonda Hunter, of Norco. “He could have been homeless. He could have been a guy on drugs. My son never did drugs.“People thought maybe he committed suicide,” she said. “He did not — he ...
