Denver Broncos Expected to Address Important Position: Report

If Bo Nix were to suffer an injury for the Denver Broncos, the quarterback room would be a significant concern.

Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham are free agents, and the expectation is for the Broncos not to bring either back.

Nix is the guy, and that's important, but as many teams around the league have seen over the past few years, not having a serviceable backup could become a problem.

However, according to a recent report from 9NEWS' Mike Klis, the Broncos understand that, and they plan to find a backup quarterback in free agency.

"Considering the draft experts and league general managers say there’s an abundance of running backs and a fair amount of tight ends in this year’s class, the Broncos most expensive free agent may be an inside linebacker," he wrote. "They also figure to sign a receiver of note, a backup quarterback, a safety and possibly a punter and 'Joker' from free agency."

Finding a veteran to add to the quarterback room should be the plan.

However, the Broncos could get creative and draft a quarterback in a later round. That's only logical if somebody falls, as this quarterback class is weak, and the Broncos have other needs in the draft, but anything is possible if things go a certain way.

Regarding free agents, there are a few who could make sense for Denver, including Jameis Winston, who played for Sean Payton with the New Orleans Saints.
