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.

Denver Broncos Expected to Address Important Position: Report

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.
