With the Denver Broncos looking to add bodies to a front office that absorbed the termination of G.M. Ted Sundquist and the Atlanta Falcons looking to shed some bodies after the arrival of G.M. Thomas Dimitroff, a guy who might otherwise be getting the boot in Atlanta could be heading to Denver.

The Denver Post reports that long-time Falcons exec Brian Xanders has been offered a job with the Broncos.

He would join Jim and Jeff Goodman to form The Three Stooges a trio of lieutenants who would answer directly to coach Mike Shanahan.

Xanders served as the Falcons’ chief contract negotiator and salary-cap manager, and he evaluates veteran and college players.

The stakes are high for Shanahan, who now has full power but also full accountability.  We heard prior to the draft that owner Pat Bowlen planned to keep a close eye on how the new power structure performs in the first post-Sundquist draft.  We’ve got a feeling that Bowlen’s interest in how things play out this year will continue to be high.
