Broncos Rebuild QB Room with Wilson and Nix, Uncertainty Surrounding Future of Young Quarterback”.

This month, the Broncos made significant moves in their quest to rebuild their quarterback room. The team traded for Zach Wilson and drafted Oregon quarterback Bo Nix in the first round. Wilson will have the opportunity to prove himself in Denver this season, but there is uncertainty about his future beyond that.

The decision not to exercise the fifth-year option on Wilson’s contract means he could be moving on after this season. This was an expected move, as exercising the option would have guaranteed Wilson $22.4 million for 2025.

In contrast, the Broncos exercised the fifth-year option on cornerback Pat Surtain II’s contract, guaranteeing him $19.8 million for 2025. With Wilson and Nix now in the mix at quarterback, the Broncos’ room includes Jarrett Stidham and Ben DiNucci as they move on from the Russell Wilson era that ultimately did not pan out as hoped.
