ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have been busy since they acquired quarterback Zach Wilson in a trade last week to beef up their impending competition for the starting job.

Thursday, they selected Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in the first round of the NFL draft (12th overall) and sources say the Broncos have informed Wilson and his representatives that they will not pick up the fifth-year option in Wilson's contract. As the No. 2 pick of the 2021 draft by the New York Jets, Wilson's original rookie deal included the fifth-year option for the 2025 season.
