The Facts:
Mike Shanahan is preparing for his 13th NFL season as the Broncos' coach, and there is a strong chance there will be several more as he and the team work toward a contract extension. So, Coach, just how long will you be in Denver? "We'll see. I'm just trying to get through this upcoming year without getting fired," Shanahan said jokingly. "But we are talking about it."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
If there are no snags, the extension could be ironed out in the next week. Shanahan has two years remaining on his contract and is one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL. An extension would continue to keep him in that territory. Owner Pat Bowlen twice has extended Shanahan's contract. Sunday, Bowlen told Post staffer Bill Williamson talks were "progressing well."
