A player signed a $5.4 million contract with the Broncos.

The Denver Broncos can take many paths at quarterback this offseason. They have Russell Wilson under contract for five years and

$242.6 million. And, even if he is released as expected, they still have Jarrett Stidham. Head Coach Sean Payton believes Stidham can

be a starter. The possibility they draft a rookie also exists. Denver could even look to swing a trade for a quarterback. They will abstain

from the path that includes New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson, though.

Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic said on February 29 that while Wilson won’t be on the Broncos’ list of targets, “they might pursue a

young quarterback, either in the draft or trade.”

Wilson, the second overall pick in the 2021 draft, was granted permission by the Jets to pursue a trade.

Joe Douglas, the general manager of the Jets, reaffirmed this to the press on February 28 at the scouting combine.Zack Rosenblatt of

Denver Could Hold Off on Trading Zach Wilson and Wait Out the Jets

The Broncos may still pursue Wilson and sign him in the end, even if it is unlikely that they will trade for him. The 6-foot-2

quarterback is entering the last year of a four-year, $35.1 million deal.

However, the Broncos might act similarly to how teams anticipate them and Russell Wilson. They could wait for the Jets to make their

Zach Wilson choice.

“The Jets will be stuck with Wilson unless they will be picking up the majority of his fully-guaranteed compensation package for

2024,” NFL insider Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk tweeted on February 29. “They’ll have to pay him more than $5.4 million in 2024

—and either cut him or keep him in the end.”

Wilson’s 2024 cap hit is $11.1 million.
