Broncos Mailbag: Should Denver have claimed QB Baker Mayfield?

Do you think (or wish) the Broncos had picked Baker Mayfield off the waiver wire?

— Bill, Littleton

Let’s get this thing started. Back-to-back Baker Mayfield questions to lead it off? All right!

Several outlets reported that the Rams were the only team that put a claim in on Mayfield, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2018 draft. Denver was third in the waiver order and the Rams were fourth, so the Broncos could have had him if they wanted. They would have had to pick up the approximately $1.3 million salary he has remaining this year.
