The veteran quarterback will be replaced by Jarrett Stidham.
Surprise in Denver. While the Broncos season is not yet officially over, the Colorado franchise decides to change quarterback. According to Adam Schefter for ESPN, Jarrett Stidham will guide Denver’s offense for the final two games of the season.
The former Raiders has only played 13 games in his career, none with the Broncos. Pick 133 in the 2019 draft had 77 completed passes in 131 attempts, totaling 926 yards, 6 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. He will have the opportunity to showcase himself against the Chargers, before finishing in Las Vegas against his former team.
Still according to ESPN, it was a clause in Russell Wilson’s contract that would have led the Broncos to send him to the bench. According to this clause, $37 million in his contract would become guaranteed for the former Seahawks, if he is declared unfit during a medical examination carried out next March. This decision could well mean that the leaders of the Broncos wish to get rid of Russell Wilson in 2024. It is therefore with a defeat against New England that his adventure in Denver could end.
