Broncos rumored as a suitable destination for a former first-round quarterback with a $15 million price tag.
The Denver Broncos’ quarterback situation remains highly uncertain.
Although Russell Wilson is contracted for another five years with a staggering $242.6 million owed to him, he has recently put his Colorado home up for sale, indicating a potential shift.
There are doubts surrounding his rapport with Head Coach Sean Payton, particularly following Wilson’s benching last season. Payton has openly acknowledged that he has yet to find a quarterback he fully connects with, and Wilson doesn’t seem to match the criteria Payton has in mind for his ideal quarterback.
This criteria seems more aligned with the skillset demonstrated by New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones during his rookie season. Derrik Klassen from the 33rd Team argues that Jones could be a suitable candidate and reclamation project for Payton, drawing parallels to Teddy Bridgewater’s tenure in 2018 and 2019.
Klassen suggests that the Broncos might consider Jones as a potential solution, highlighting Payton’s apparent desire for a quarterback who excels in pre-snap reads and the full dropback game, something that Wilson might not fully deliver according to Payton’s expectations.
