Fan Sentiment
A
Very Positive
NegativeNeutralPositive
Public perception of Blake Cotton sits at an A sentiment grade, capturing how the Denver Broncos fan base and beat writers are framing his role. The narrative around Cotton is straightforward: this is routine depth shuffling, not a move designed to reshape the secondary or signal competitive urgency. Media coverage treats the signing as part of standard post-minicamp roster churn—Cotton is being positioned as a developmental depth piece or camp body behind established starters, likely filling practice squad or third-string snaps rather than competing for immediate playing time. The Broncos have cycled through multiple secondary and offensive line moves over the past week, including cuts of established roster players, which frames Cotton's addition as low-stakes roster maintenance rather than a splash acquisition. The fan base is responding with indifference appropriate to the lack of hype surrounding the move—this is exactly the kind of signing that doesn't move the needle in a 14-3 playoff-seeded franchise mid-offseason. Cotton's A grade reflects that the public simply isn't invested one way or the other; there's no controversy, no backlash, and no inflated expectations, just acceptance of another name filling a depth slot as the team continues to build out its roster depth ahead of training camp.
