The Broncos recently released kicker Brandon Mcmanus, the last remaining player from their Super Bowl-winning team of 2015. But there are still some guys on the practice field with rings.

First-year Broncos coach Sean Payton, who takes over a team that hasn’t made the playoffs since 2015, won a Super Bowl with New Orleans in the 2009 season. Quarterback Russell Wilson led Seattle to a championship in 2013. Tackle Cam Fleming got rings with New England in 2014 and 2016. And fullback Michael Burton won a Super Bowl with Kansas City in February.

“It was really special,’’ Burton said of the 38-35 win over Philadelphia. “As soon as that clock ticked to zero and we won it, there was so much celebration and a lot of emotion.”

Burton said having won a Super Bowl is important when it comes to talking to teammates about what it takes to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. After he signed with the Broncos in March, Burton heard from Wilson and there were texts back and forth that included a discussion of both wanting to also get a ring with Denver.

“That’s why we’re in this business,’’ Burton said. “That’s my goal is to help the Denver Broncos win a Super Bowl.”

Even being on the losing side in a Super Bowl can be vital. Recently signed tackle Mike Mcglinchey was with San Francisco when the 49ers lost Super Bowl LIV 31-20 to the Chiefs in February 2020. Still, he can pass on to teammates the experience of playing in the big game.

“I think it’s huge,” said McGlinchey, who spent his first five seasons with the 49ers. “I think experience matters.

“I think putting yourself in the biggest moments and experiencing those biggest moments and what the emotions feel like and what it takes to get there is incredibly valuable.”

Also on that San Francisco Super Bowl team were current Broncos defensive tackle D.J. Jones and cornerback K’waun Williams. And running back Samaje Perine was with Cincinnati when the Bengals lost 24-21 to the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl LV in February 2022.

“The biggest takeaway from that and what I can bring to the table is that it doesn’t take anything outside of what you do on an everyday basis,’’ Perine said of making the Super Bowl. “We just went back to the basics and did what we do. We just went out and played football and that was the big thing (head coach) Zac (Taylor) preached about.”

Wilson having previously won a Super Bowl didn’t help the Broncos when he had a disastrous season and they finished 5-12 in 2022. But perhaps it will be a benefit to Wilson now also having on his side a coach in Payton who has won a Super Bowl.

“I think having that championship pedigree just trickles down to everybody else,’’ Mcglinchey said. “I think there’s a blueprint on how to have success in this league, and I think the two of them have certainly found it.”
