Broncos' Stidham Draws Trade Interest, 3rd Round Pick Eyed

0:00On March 4th, multiple NFL teams have reached out to the Denver Broncos about trading back a quarterback, Jared Stidham, who's heading into the final year of his contract. Stidham, a 29-year-old veteran, signed with Denver in 2023 and appeared in seven games, including two starts over that span. Team mates rave about him as a steady leader in the locker room, especially after he stepped in during tough snowy conditions in the AFC Championship. Financially, moving him before June 1st would free up $6.5 million in cap space for the Broncos, though it leaves $1.5 million in debt money with his $8 million cap hit looming next year. Interest from teams like the nearer Jets could heat up, but Denver holds all the leverage and should demand at least a third round pick to par ways, with their reliable number 2 behind Bonix.
