Broncos | Bo Nix struggles in debut Sun Sep 8, 08:57 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix completed 26 of his 42 passes for 138 yards and two interceptions and rushed five times for 35 yards and a touchdown in a 26-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1.
| Footballguys view: Nix struggled throughout the game, completing almost exclusively short passes and never threatening the defense downfield, looking very much like the first-time starter he is. Nix averaged 3.3 yards per attempt on his 42 passes. According to ESPN, that is tied for the 6th-lowest yards per attempt in any game with at least 40 pass attempts since the merger. A fourth-quarter possession ended when Nix threw what Profootballtalk.com characterized as "a particularly terrible interception" with three Seahawks defenders in the area. Nix did use his legs to lead a touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, but it was too little, too late. Nix and the Broncos offense will look to regroup before Sunday's first home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. |

Denver Broncos CB Patrick Surtain II agreed to a four-year, $96 million extension that includes $77.5 million guaranteed Wednesday, Sept. 4. The deal makes him the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: Surtain is arguably the best cornerback in the game, so the move makes sense. Even with the fifth-year option in 2025, the Broncos wanted to get Surtain's deal done before the start of the regular season. He will lock down an opponent's no.1 receiver every week. First up, Seahawks WR DK Metcalf on Sunday. |

Broncos | Donald Parham catches on with Denver Thu Aug 29, 01:57 PM
Free-agent TE Donald Parham (Chargers) was signed to the practice squad of the Denver Broncos on Thursday, Aug. 29.
| Footballguys view: Parham stays in the AFC West, and this is a nice depth piece for the Broncos. If Greg Dulcich fails to stay healthy (like usual), then Parham could be activated and play a role with Lucas Krull as the pass-catching tight end. There's some 'joker' qualities here with Parham, and Sean Payton is going to know how to use a big-bodied receiver like him. |

Broncos | Unable To Find Trade Partners, Broncos Release RB Perine, WR Patrick Tue Aug 27, 04:55 PM
Reports on Monday indicated that the Broncos were looking to trade running back Samaje Perine and receiver Tim Patrick. Denver was unable to find a partner for either player and both were among the team's Tuesday cuts to bring the roster down to 53 players.
| Footballguys view: Both players will likely draw interest as free agents, but fantasy managers looking for late-round dart tosses will need to look for other opportunities, barring quick signings in fortuitous situations. |

Broncos | Sean Payton reiterates QB plans Mon Aug 26, 01:27 AM
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton suggested he would be keeping three quarterbacks on the 53-man roster. 'I feel comfortable with those three quarterbacks,' Payton said after the preseason finale Sunday, Aug. 25. 'I think I told you already I see the three of them making it.'
| Footballguys view: With rookie Bo Nix locked in as the Week 1 starter, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson are competing for the No. 2 spot. On Sunday against the Cardinals, Stidham played just one series but went 2-4 for 28 yards and led a drive in which rookie running back Audric Estime found the end zone. Wilson was out there for the remainder of the game and looked good. He finished 16-25 for 251 yards and two touchdowns. He made a very nice pass to Brandon Johnson, good for a 46-yard touchdown to put the game out of hand late. |
Broncos | Zach Wilson ends preseason on high note Sun Aug 25, 08:56 PM

Broncos | Bo Nix won't play in preseason finale Sat Aug 24, 09:50 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix will not play in the team's final preseason game versus the Arizona Cardinals Sunday, Aug. 25, according to head coach Sean Payton. QB Jarrett Stidham will receive the starting nod but QB Zach Wilson will see the bulk of the playing time.
| Footballguys view: Nix is starting the regular season against the Seahawks, so there's no need to risk injury in the final preseason game. Wilson could win the no.2 job over Stidham if he performs well in the contest against the Cardinals on Sunday. However, we think Sean Payton will keep three quarterbacks. |

Broncos | Bo Nix named the starter Wed Aug 21, 02:22 PM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was named the starter by head coach Sean Payton on Wednesday, Aug. 21.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Nix has been the best quarterback in Denver during training camp, and he's been separating himself from Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson for at least the last couple of weeks. The rookie first-round pick is a great fit for Payton's system. He's a smart and accurate quarterback with mobility that will surprise some defenders. We love Nix in dynasty formats, but as a rookie starter in 2024 we expect him to have struggles. |
Broncos | Bo Nix in the lead? Mon Aug 19, 11:31 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix was praised by head coach Sean Payton for his poise in the game. 'You feel his comfort level as he continues to get used to the calls coming in,' Payton said. 'You've got to feel the poise when he's playing.'
| Footballguys view: While Payton isn't ready to make it official and name Nix his Week 1 starter, it's hard to believe Jarrett Stidham or Zach Wilson have realistic shots at winning the job. As Profootballtalk.com's Michael David Smith notes, Nix has looked the best of the three of them in the preseason, and the Broncos wouldn't have drafted Nix with the 12th overall pick in April if they didn't see him as a starting quarterback. We expect that to be the outcome when a decision is announced. |
Broncos | Bo Nix to start Sunday Sat Aug 17, 11:52 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix will see extended playing time as the starter for the team's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Aug. 18, according to head coach Sean Payton. He is expected to receive all of the snaps with the first-team offense. QB Jarrett Stidham will relieve Nix, with QB Zach Wilson slated to see playing time at the end of the game.
| Footballguys view: Nix performed well in the joint practice with the Packers on Friday, and he's trending to be the starter in Week 1 of the regular season. We'll see if he can clean up some of the footwork issues he had in the preseason opener against the Colts. However, Nix has been quite impressive in training camp and he could be the franchise quarterback the Broncos have been searching for since Peyton Manning retired after winning Super Bowl 50. |

Broncos | Devaughn Vele sits out Friday Sat Aug 17, 12:02 AM
Denver Broncos WR Devaughn Vele (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Friday, Aug. 16, but head coach Sean Payton said Vele still has a chance to play in the preseason game Sunday, Aug. 18.
| Footballguys view: Vele has been the talk of the Broncos' camp. A seventh-round pick out of Utah, Vele is a rookie receiver with strong buzz about him dating back to rookie minicamp. He's shown strong chemistry with QB Bo Nix, and Vele can go all out to make plays. Vele reminds us of a younger version of fellow Broncos receiver (and former Utes player) Tim Patrick. |
