That minicamp is scheduled to run from May 8-10 and the team will bring in several players to tryouts, looking to earn a contract and a spot on the 90-player roster. On Wednesday, it was reported that the team is planning to include at least two quarterbacks on the list of invites.
The Broncos have reportedly been looking to add another quarterback to come in and throw to the rookies at minicamp, at the very least. However, there would be a chance the team adds a fourth quarterback to compete in the preseason as it’s unclear how much we will see Bo Nix before the regular season starts as he continues to rehab his broken ankle.
Nathan Peterman, E.J. Warner will get try outs at Broncos minicamp
Nathan Peterman is a veteran option for the team to consider and he falls under the category of being an experienced player to come in and be a “camp arm”, if nothing else.
Broncos 9News Insider Mike Klis reported that the Broncos will take a look at Peterman this weekend. Peterman, who just turned 32 years old, has lasted nearly a decade in the league despite making just five career starts.
A fifth-round pick of the Buffalo Bills in 2017, Peterman has also had two separate stints with the Raiders while also playing for the Bears, Saints and, most recently, he was on the practice squad of the Atlanta Falcons.
Peterman has completed 53 percent of his career passes, throwing for 712 yards with four touchdowns and 13 interceptions.
The much more interesting name to get an invite from the Broncos is that of E.J. Warner, son of Hall-of-Fame quarterback and former Super Bowl MVP, Kurt Warner.
Warner played college football at Temple and Rice before finishing up at Fresno State. He threw for 10,844 yards during his college career, tossing 71 touchdowns and 48 interceptions. He recently tried out for the Kansas City Chiefs but might have a better chance at catching on in Denver.
His father, Kurt, is excited about his son’s opportunity.
Kurt Warner was undrafted before becoming HOF QB. Now his son E.J. Warner is trying out for #Broncos after undrafted “He’s in the same place I was in for a long time. Just hoping somebody gives me a shot And now it’s about going out to prove I belong. I’m really excited about it”
The Broncos have a solid quarterback room with Jarrett Stidham and Sam Ehlinger already on the roster as the backups to Nix, but Sean Payton is doing his due diligence to make sure the position is as strong as it can be overall. For a team that had to turn to a backup quarterback for the most important game of the season last year, that’s not a bad approach.

Bayern Munich has been eliminated of the UEFA Champions League after falling 6-5 to Paris Saint-Germain in the aggregate score during the UCL semifinal in their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
The match was marred by questionable refereeing decisions. Nevertheless, Bayern Munich was not able to convert the Allianz Arena into the fortress that it had been during the whole UCL campaign, with notable and until-now dependable players like striker Harry Kane and star winger Michael Olise offering less than stellar performances right when the team needed them to stand out.
After the game, Bayern coach Vincent Kompany talked about the complexity of the tournament and how hard is for a team to have a flawless performance during the relatively few games in the Champions League, where a bad night can finish a team’s whole campaign, while also throwing a dart at the refereeing decisions during the game. “I know how difficult it is to win the Champions League and how much it depends on details. We’ll try everything to do better next season. And I also hope we’ll have some of these [refereeing] decisions to our favor,” said Kompany.
The Bavarians will hope to return the next year and take another shot at the European glory, although this failure will surely hit the fans and club hard, since this was the first time had reached the UCL semifinals since the 2023/2024 season.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks, whatever it may be, should be decided in the coming weeks.
Bucks owner Jimmy Haslam said on Wednesday that the franchise would make a decision on the star player’s future with the organization before the NBA Draft in June. That gives them about six weeks to come to a decision.
“Before the Draft is a natural time, right? Because if Giannis does play somewhere else, then we ought to get a lot of assets,” Haslam said, via TMJ4’s Karley Marotta. “That’s [general manager] Jon [Horst]’s job to do it. If he’s here, then you’ll build the team differently … I just want to stress though that our relationship with him, despite what is reported by certain ESPN writers, is very positive.”

The situation between Antetokounmpo and the Bucks got incredibly messy this past season. The two sides were in a standoff over his health near the end of the campaign, where the team wanted to shut him down against Antetokounmpo’s wishes.
Antetokounmpo appeared in only 36 games for the Bucks this season, his 13th in the league. He averaged 27.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game, but hyperextended his left knee and suffered a bone bruise in March. The team missed the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
The NBA even launched an investigation into Antetokounmpo and the Bucks over his return to play. Antetokounmpo reportedly told the Bucks to trade him multiple times during the season, too, though that never happened.
A split in Milwaukee, while not necessary, would make sense this summer for a number of reasons. Antetokounmpo has just one guaranteed season left on his deal, which includes a $58.5 million salary for next season, and a player option for the 2027-28 campaign. So free agency for him is near, but the Bucks, like Haslam said, can still presumably get a good return in a trade.
The franchise just hired Taylor Jenkins as its next head coach to replace Doc Rivers. It’s the start of a new era in Milwaukee, and rebuilding without Antetokounmpo could be a good move for an organization clearly ready for a reset.
And, when interviewing Jenkins, Haslam didn’t hide the uncertainty surrounding Antetokounmpo.
“We didn’t hold back with Taylor,” Haslam said. “We just said, ‘Listen [Antetokounmpo] may or may not be with us. So don’t come because of that.’ Because you want to be straight up with people.”
While it’s been a tumultuous stretch for Antetokounmpo’s relationship with the Bucks, it seems an ending is near.
Haslam just has to make his decision.
“It’s a big one, and you’ve got to get it right,” Haslam said.

CINCINNATI, OHIO – APRIL 30: Michael Lorenzen #24 of the Colorado Rockies throws during a baseball game against the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park on April 30, 2026 in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by Jeff Dean/Getty Images) | Getty Images
It’s not May baseball in Colorado without the annual snowstorm that pops up. Denver woke up to a winter wonderland and one of the biggest May snowstorms in a long while. As a result of the ongoing weather today, the Colorado Rockies and New York Mets resume their series with the second game but at a much later start time than originally planned.
Luckily for the Rockies, the groundscrew is always up to the challenge of clearing the field.
Michael Lorenzen (2-3, 6.09 ERA) takes the hill for Colorado, looking to find a groove. Lorenzen has faced some inconsistency at the start of the season, making it hard to gauge what he’s doing to do each start. His last outing against Cincinnati was progressing well until he gave up a two-run home run in the fifth inning to surrender a 2-1 lead. His best outing of the season did come against the Mets, however, as he fired seven innings, allowing just one run on seven hits. Walks and a lot of contact have proven to be the main issue for Lorenzen, especially if he isn’t getting ground balls at home. However, he has managed to deliver two solid starts at Coors Field after his disastrous outing against Philadelphia in the home opener
Freddy Peralta (1-3, 3.52 ERA) makes his eighth start of the year for New York. Among the many things that have gone wrong for the Mets, Peralta has been as solid as ever in the rotation. In his last outing, he faced off against Washington, allowing three runs on four hits over six innings of work. Before that, he allowed two runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings against the Rockies in New York. Peralta’s ability to rack up strikeouts is his greatest tool, but he is prone to walk at least three batters in a game. In four career appearances at Coors Field, Peralta has been quite comfortable with a 1.59 ERA in 17 innings of work with 30 strikeouts against eight walks.

The Mets pulled left-handed reliever A.J. Minter off his rehab assignment on Wednesday after he reported experiencing left hip discomfort before Triple-A Syracuse’s game against the Rochester Red Wings.
Minter, recovering from lat surgery, was scheduled to pitch for Syracuse in Wednesday’s game as part of the first leg of a back-to-back that would’ve been the final step in his rehab process before re-joining the Mets. Now, that process has been put on pause.
“We’re not too concerned, but probably giving him a couple, few days there and then he’ll continue to throw,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “But as of right now, we pulled him off.”
Neither Minter nor New York is too worried about the severity of the setback despite the hip discomfort being on the same side that he got surgery on in August 2024 to repair a torn labrum.
Still, it does set the lefty back a bit with the clock on his rehab restarting.
With a downtick in velocity in a few of Minter’s appearances this year, Mendoza was asked if he thinks the hip discomfort had any role to play in that.
“I don’t know because there were days where we saw the velo at 92, 93, couple of 94,” the skipper said. “But there were some ones where it was like 91. But I don’t know, I would have to talk to him personally. I will have to talk to the trainers, but I didn’t get that [sense] when I was talking to the trainers when they gave me the report today.”
Minter hasn’t pitched for the Mets since April 2025, when he suffered a lat strain that required season-ending surgery. He’s pitched to a 1.17 ERA across three minor league levels during his rehab assignment.
ATLANTA, GA – OCTOBER 1995: Owner Ted Turner of the Atlanta Braves holds the World Series trophy after the Braves win the World Series against the Cleveland Indians on October 28, 1995 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Ronald C. Modra/Getty Images) | Getty Images
Media mogul, philanthropist and former Atlanta Braves owner Ted Turner passed away earlier today at the age of 87.
The bombastic businessman and cultural icon reshaped the media landscape in the latter half of the 20th century after taking over his father’s company, Turner Outdoor Advertising, in 1963.
A rebellious and ambitious entrepreneur, Turner began acquiring radio and television stations, including Atlanta’s WJRJ (channel 17), in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He renamed WJRJ to WTCG (for Turner Communications Group), and by the late 1970s began leveraging the emerging technologies of satellite and cable television to expand his media reach nationwide.
Driven by a need for content and profitability for his stations, Turner purchased the Atlanta Braves in 1976 – and the Atlanta Hawks the following year. Both franchises became central to the success of what became known as the Superstation WTBS, helping drive ratings and advertising revenue as Turner broadcast his teams’ games across the country.
Turner bought the Braves during a transitional period for the franchise. The team had moved to Atlanta only a decade earlier, and Braves legend and inner-circle Hall of Famer Henry Aaron had been traded to Milwaukee two years before Turner’s purchase. With future franchise cornerstone Dale Murphy still a young catcher trying to establish himself in the majors, the first four years of Turner’s ownership saw the Braves lose 90-or-more games including a 101-loss season in 1977.
While the team’s on-the-field performance was at a nadir, the team’s 162-game schedule provided a copious amount of content and that combined with Turner’s larger-than-life personality quickly became part of TBS’s identity. Turner famously branded the Braves as “America’s Team” as his station’s baseball broadcasts introduced the club to fans nationwide, making a superstar of Murphy as his back-to-back National League Most Valuable Player seasons came as cable and satellite service exploded across the country.
Turner’s hands-on approach with his MLB team occasionally crossed into controversy. In May 1977, during a 16-game losing streak, Turner briefly named himself interim manager, replacing Dave Bristol for one game before National League president Chub Feeney forced him to relinquish role. Turner appealed the decision, but commissioner Bowie Kuhn upheld the decision. The Braves lost their 17th consecutive game in Turner’s only turn as the team’s skipper.
In another instance, Turner had free agent signee pitcher Andy Messersmith, who wore the number 17 on his jersey, wear “Channel” as his nameplate until the league made Messersmith remove “Channel” from his jersey because of the blatant – albeit humorously ingenious – bit of advertising.
In 1978, Turner hired Bobby Cox as manager, beginning one of the most important relationships in franchise history. Cox managed the Braves until being fired after the 1981 season. In a press conference announcing the managerial change, when asked who he would ideally replace Cox with, Turner famously answered, “Bobby Cox”.
Turner hired former Braves All-Star Joe Torre as the team’s next manager. Torre led the Braves to the playoffs in 1982 before being fired after the 1984 season after two middling but disappointing seasons based on the expectations created during their 1982 success.
Cox, who had become manager of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1982 and led the team to the ALCS in 1985, returned to Atlanta when Turner brought Cox back into the organization as general manager following the conclusion of the 1985 season.
After rebuilding the organization’s farm system, Cox returned to the dugout during the 1990 season as the team’s manager. With John Schuerholtz brought in the from the Kansas City Royals as new general manager, the Braves “Worst-to-First” 1991 season launched an unprecedented era of success that permanently transformed expectations for baseball in Atlanta.
Turner, who was at his peak of celebrity, and then-partner Jane Fonda became regular fixtures in the stands during the Braves’ postseason run in 1991 and throughout the1990s, culminating in the franchise’s 1995 World Series championship.
While Turner labeled is own tenure running the operations of the club a “disaster” his support of his organization’s leadership and financial backing took the Braves from a cellar-dwelling laughingstock in the late 1980’s to a National League juggernaut in five seasons.
Outside of his sports ownership, Turner built one of the most influential media empires in history. His portfolio included Atlanta-based CNN, TBS, TNT, and Turner Classic Movies. CNN, which launched in 1980, revolutionized television journalism as the first 24-hour-a-day news network.
At the zenith of his success in media, Turner’s eponymous Turner Broadcasting merged with Time Warner in 1996. Half-a-decade later, Timer Warner merged with America Online (AOL) in 2001, creating AOL Time Warner. Although Turner initially retained high-level leadership roles with Time Warner, his influence diminished significantly following the AOL merger despite remaining the company’s largest shareholder.
Turner’s accomplishments extended far beyond media and sports. Through Turner Enterprises, he became the second-largest private landowner in the United States. He founded the United Nations Foundation and the Nuclear Threat Initiative, among other philanthropic organizations. He also created the Goodwill Games as an alternative to the Olympics.
Among the honors Turner received are two lifetime achievement Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award in 1997, the Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism in 1990, and Time magazine’s “Man of the Year” in 1991. He also has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The wry-smiling and mustachioed Turner also left a lasting mark on professional wrestling. In 1988, he purchased Jim Crockett Promotions and rebranded it as World Championship Wrestling (WCW), using it as programming for his networks. His enthusiasm for wrestling helped fuel the “Monday Night Wars” of the 1990s, as WCW battled WWF/WWE for television ratings dominance bringing the entertainment product to a higher national profile.
Turner, who began competitive sailing while at Brown University, won the 1977 America’s Cup as the ship’s skipper and was inducted into the National Sailing Hall of Fame.
Turner’s impact on Atlanta sports extended beyond baseball. His ownership of the Hawks helped establish the franchise in the South, beginning with the hiring of coaches Hubie Brown and later Mike Fratello. The team would then acquire the draft rights to Dominique Wilkins in 1982, giving the team their biggest star since relocating to Atlanta. Although the Hawks did not win an NBA title under Turner, they remained consistently competitive for much of his ownership before the franchise was sold in 2004 to Atlanta Spirit, LLC.
Born in Cincinnati, OH, Turner moved to Savannah, GA, as a child and attended school in Chattanooga, TN. He studied at Brown and served in the Coast Guard Reserves. After his father’s suicide in 1963, Turner assumed control of his father’s advertising business, laying the foundation for the media empire.
For Braves fans, Turner’s impact remains immeasurable. His vision of using the Braves as nationally distributed programming created generations of fans across the country and gave the franchise the financial wherewithal to maintain one of the sport’s highest payrolls throughout most of his ownership.
Although his formal ties of ownership to the Braves ended Time Warner sold the franchise to Liberty Media in 2007, his association with the team was a contestant reminder through his namesake Turner Field, the team’s home until relocating to what is now-known as Truist Park in 2017.
Whatever missteps and controversy Turner made during his early years as owner has largely faded with time. Fifty years after purchasing the franchise, his legacy in Atlanta sports and media is undeniable.
Without Ted Turner, the Braves may never have fully established their roots in the Southeast and wouldn’t have become the brand they are today.
Turner was inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame in 2000.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam says he would like to have Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future sorted out before next month’s NBA draft.
Haslam spoke Wednesday alongside general manager Jon Horst at a news conference introducing Taylor Jenkins as the Bucks’ coach. Antetokounmpo has spent his entire 13-year career with the Bucks, but it’s possible he could leave Milwaukee after a frustrating, injury-marred season.
“I just think before the draft is a natural time,” Haslam said. “Because if Giannis does play somewhere else, we’ve got to have a lot of assets. That’s Jon’s job to do. And if he’s here, then you build the team differently.”
Antetokounmpo has said repeatedly that he likes playing in Milwaukee but wants to play for a franchise committed to competing for championships. The Bucks went 32-50 this season to snap a string of nine straight playoff appearances.
The Bucks can offer Antetokounmpo a four-year, $275 million contract extension in October. If Antetokounmpo doesn’t sign, he could become a free agent after next season.
Haslam, also a co-owner of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, would like the matter settled long before October. He spoke Wednesday as though the decision rests with the Bucks as much as it does with Antetokounmpo.
“We never had any problem communicating directly with Giannis — at all — and always knew where he stood,” Haslam said. “And I think he always knew where we stood. We’ve had those kind of conversations since the season was over. … So sometime over the next six or seven weeks, we’ll decide whether Giannis is going to sign a max contract and stay with us, or he’s going to play somewhere else. And Jon and Taylor, along with (co-owner) Wes (Edens) and myself will make that call, and we understand the gravity of that call.”
The Bucks will have a lottery pick this year either in their own spot or in New Orleans’ spot, whichever is less favorable. The draft lottery is Sunday.
Antetokounmpo, 31, led the Bucks their first title in half a century in 2021, and he owns virtually all the franchise’s major career records. He won the first of his two straight MVP awards in 2018-19, when Jenkins was an assistant on Mike Budenholzer’s staff.
Horst noted the Bucks have sought input from Antetokounmpo and other players during previous coaching searches but that they didn’t do that this time. Jenkins said he has communicated with Antetokounmpo since he took the job.
“He’s expressed tremendous excitement for me and my family,” Jenkins said. “Obviously, even only being here for one season, he and I established a really good relationship and maintained that respect, even from a distance.”
The 41-year-old Jenkins coached the Grizzlies from 2019-25 and went 250-214, leading them to three straight playoff appearances from 2021-23. Memphis got beyond the first round under Jenkins just once, in 2022, when the second-seeded Grizzlies beat Minnesota before losing to Golden State in the Western Conference semifinals.
Memphis was decimated by injuries in 2023-24 and went 27-55. The Grizzlies fired Jenkins with nine games left in the 2024-25 season and were swept by eventual champion Oklahoma City in the first round of the playoffs.
Jenkins’ success with Memphis made him an attractive head coaching candidate, and he quickly focused on a possible return to Milwaukee rather than waiting to find out if any playoff teams made coaching changes.
He understood it was possible he wouldn’t be coaching Antetokounmpo.
“When this opportunity became available, I was like, I know the people,” Jenkins said. “I know what they stand for. I know what their standards are going to be on a day-to-day basis.”
Jenkins will become the Bucks’ fourth coach in five seasons, not counting Joe Prunty’s three-game interim stint in February 2024.
Budenholzer, who led Milwaukee to the 2021 title, was fired after a 2023 playoff loss to Miami. Adrian Griffin lasted barely half a season, going 30-13 before he was fired. Doc Rivers took over and stepped down after this season with a 97-103 record.
The Bucks were one of the league’s most disappointing teams this season as injuries limited Antetokounmpo to a career-low 36 games.
“Giannis has brought Milwaukee its second championship and the first in 50 years,” Haslam said. “He’s a phenomenal player. He’s a phenomenal person. He’s arguably one of the best basketball players in the world and we will do what’s best for Giannis and what’s best for the organization. We don’t know whether Giannis will stay with us or not, but we’ll work through that with Giannis in the coming weeks.”
