Broncos' Stidham Draws Trade Interest

0:00On March 4th, the Denver Broncos are drawing trade interest in their backup quarterback Jared Stidham, with fresh reports from the athletic building, on earlier ESPN buzz. Denver clearly values Stidham, who's been running coach Sean Payden's offense since 2023, and shares a strong bond with Starter Bonix. At seven years into his career, he's a reliable veteran option. Trading him would leave the Broncos hunting for a new number two quarterback, especially with third stringer Sam Ellinger hitting free agency next week, Ailinger proved loyal last season by passing up other roster spots to stay as Denver's third option. Stidham has just one year left on his deal, giving the team a timely window to deal him before it expires. Analysts expect he bring back more than a late round draft pick, given his experience. For now, all eyes are on whether Denver pulls the trigger or holds steady behind Nick's heading into the season.
