With the benching of Russell Wilson, Sean Payton made it very clear that he is in pursuit of a different quarterback to be the future of the Denver Broncos franchise. The big question remains now is “How is he going to find one?”
The Broncos are currently slated to pick 12th in the 2024 NFL Draft. They are also $20 million dollars over the salary cap. That means bidding on a free agent quarterback or trading for one with a large cap hit seems very unlikely. All and all, the draft—for various reasons—is most certainly the way to go.
