The Denver Broncos presently have three quarterbacks on their active roster, and it’s not unreasonable to expect them to part with one of their backups in 2024. The Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles played the first-ever NFL game in Brazil on Friday.
The Eagles won, thus the Packers are now 0-1 and may have lost their great quarterback, Jordan Love, for a lengthy amount of time. He was tackled to the ground late in the game, injuring his knee. This is a close-up of the injury.
People, you can see something pop in that left knee. I’m not a doctor, but this may be bad news for Love and the Packers. If Green Bay is without their franchise quarterback for a lengthy period of time, they can go to the QB market to see who is still available. The Denver Broncos presently have two quarterbacks below rookie Bo Nix on their depth chart.
Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham are the team’s backup quarterbacks, and it’s unusual for an NFL team to have three quarterbacks on its active roster. Some clubs may carry two and keep a third on their practice squad. With both Wilson and Stidham being consistent enough this offseason to be QB2s in this league, you have to wonder if the Broncos could part ways with one of them at the right price.
The Packers may have a significant need for another quarterback, so could this be a good fit? Maybe. I don’t think the Broncos want to part with Zach Wilson unless the offer is massive. Stidham is an older and lower-ceiling quarterback than Wilson, and the Broncos acquired him from the New York Jets earlier this summer.
I’m not sure if the Broncos want to part with Zach Wilson or Jarrett Stidham this early in the 2024 NFL season, but it’s still early enough for the Packers to rescue their season if Love is forced to miss time. If he’s gone for the season, the Packers should look ahead to 2025, but if he only misses 4-6 weeks, they could try to bring in a higher-end backup to keep their season on pace.
The Broncos’ roster includes Zach Wilson and Jarrett Stidham, which could make the Packers look this way.
