EUGENE-Former Oregon Duck and current rookie quarterback for the Denver Broncos is already showing signs of dominance ahead of his debut season in the NFL. Broncos coach Sean Payton compared the 12th overall pick, Bo Nix, to his longtime quarterback with the Saints and potential future Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
“You see pretty good pocket sense,” Payton said about Nix, on 104.3 The Fan. “Doesn’t take a lot of sacks. I think when he knows when the play’s over, time to go, and then, I think he can make plays when he’s going.”
Nix’s quick release is one of his key characteristics. At the University of Oregon, Nix was sacked just five times during the 2023 college football season. For comparison, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner from LSU, Jayden Daniels, was sacked 22 times last season.
“I used to say this all the time: The sack numbers are a reflection more on the quarterback than the offensive line. Brees was one of those guys, he was a tough sack,” Payton said. “The ball came out, and I think Bo has traits like that.”
Nix’s ability to avoid punishment from opposing pass rushers is comparable to Brees. During Brees’s 20 years in the NFL, he was only sacked more than 30 times in a season twice. The quarterback was sacked an average of just 22 times per season during his 19 years as a starter. Brees’s average of 22 sacks per season is impressive considering the quickness and athleticism of pass rushers at the collegiate level.
Another one of Payton’s former quarterbacks, Russell Wilson, was sacked an average of 44 times per season during his first 12 years in the NFL.
Nix has been compared to Brees multiple times since signing with the Denver Broncos. Back in June, Payton drew another comparison between the two play-callers.
“I would say mentally, [Nix] wants to know as much and as fast as he can,” Payton said. “I think there’s maybe a maturity level because, again, [Nix] played 61 games [in college] and when [the Saints] got Drew, it was off of his rookie contract and coming off an injury.”
Since Nix’s arrival in Denver, Payton has been pleased with what he has seen from the rookie quarterback. As the coach who had immense success with Brees in New Orleans, Payton’s comparison carries great weight. Nix’s comparisons to Brees seem to pose a bright future for the former Duck as he looks to take flight in the NFL.

Report: Broncos make shocking move, cut possible starting safety
![Report: Broncos make shocking move, cut possible starting safety Report: Broncos make shocking move, cut possible starting safety](https://denversports.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/GettyImages-1427444021-e1722871297270.jpg)
The Denver Broncos are making a surprise move on Monday morning, as they get ready to release safety Caden Sterns, according to NFL Network.
The 2021 fifth-round pick had a chance to start alongside Brandon Jones at safety and at the very least be the first backup behind Jones and P.J. Locke. Now Denver will move on without the former Texas Longhorn. This seemingly gives the job to Locke.
Sterns had a solid rookie season back in 2021 but has been limited by injuries since. He suffered a d a torn patellar tendon in Week 1 of 2023, and began this training camp on the physically unable to perform list—but had recently rejoined the action.
Locke along with JL Skinner and Delarrin Turner-Yell will no doubt have bigger roles as the Broncos work to replace a group that had been led by Justin Simmons for so long. That veteran was cut earlier in the offseason.
More cuts are coming at Dove Valley with the Broncos having until Aug. 27 to get from 90 men to 53.
The #Broncos have informed safety Caden Sterns of their plans to release him, per source.
A fifth-round pick of the Broncos in 2021, Sterns flashed potential during three seasons in Denver and should have options around the league.

Given the report of league interest and George Paton’s past, the Broncos may actually end up trading Sterns for minor draft positioning—it’s happened a few times recently. Speaking of Paton’s past, Sterns is just another draft pick that didn’t stick in Denver.
Broncos will release safety Caden Sterns if they can’t work out a trade today, source confirms. (Release first by @TomPelissero). Sterns was on pace to be a starter as early as 2022 but back to back season-ending injuries (hip then knee) curtailed his progress. #9sports

CBD of Denver Announces Q2 Revenue and Provides Update on German Market
Denver, Colorado–(Newsfile Corp. – August 5, 2024) – CBD of Denver, Inc. (OTC Pink: CBDD) today announced that revenue for Q2 2024 is estimated to be approximately $1,030,000 compared to $720,000 for Q2 2023. Revenue from Libra 9 is not included, as the Company continues the process of unwinding the transaction.
The German market is evolving as all federal states are progressing with their individual application and licensing programs for Cannabis Clubs. Luxora is in ongoing discussions to explore opportunities for its grow infrastructure solutions but has not yet received official confirmation from any federal state to approve its business model. Lower Saxony is the first and only state in Germany to have decided on applications for the approval of cannabis cultivation clubs, with seven applications approved and five rejected. A total of 20 applications have been submitted, making it the third highest in the country after North Rhine-Westphalia with 37 and Baden-Württemberg with 35. The pace of applications illustrates the high hurdles that clubs must overcome based on the individual federal states’ application frameworks and the recent amendments to the cannabis law, which make it much more difficult to start a club. The company continues to explore the opportunity in the German market and is actively engaged with the responsible authorities to achieve legislative clarity.
Following a thorough assessment of its wholesale business unit, the company found that it was not meeting its anticipated profit margins. However, the company continues to operate in the wholesale business and is still experiencing growth. The Company continues to review new opportunities with the goal of identifying businesses with higher margins to build recurring revenue.
In a significant development, Luxora has received positive engagement in Berlin regarding a Near-Infrared (NIR) device used for cannabis testing. The company is following up on leads from over 50 interested parties in Germany. In the coming weeks, Luxora will be making sales presentations to these potential clients. If proven sustainable, this initiative has the potential to provide higher-margin sales based on a markup on the device as well as recurring revenues based on the SaaS (Software as a Service) model, which is sold alongside the hardware device. The company is testing the viability of the business model before deciding on a specific direction.
Luxora remains committed to exploring a wide array of opportunities within the cannabis sector, including advancements in technology, medical applications, and other innovative areas with strong growth potential. The company’s proactive approach aims to leverage its expertise and market presence to drive growth and value for its shareholders.
