As the Denver Broncos hem and haw over their quarterback plight, dots are being connected to one notable name.
Teddy Bridgewater.
Sources tell
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News that "at least" two teams have expressed interest in trading for the veteran signal-caller, who's on the outs following the arrival of presumed rookie starter
Sam Darnold.
Mehta didn't (or couldn't) name the interested parties, despite New York engaging in "several potential trade discussions," but he floated the Broncos as a possible partner.
"Here’s a nickel’s worth of free advice: Keep an eye on the Broncos, who are looking to upgrade their backup quarterback spot," he wrote.
Indeed, the Broncos are unsettled as to their QB depth chart. Below
Case Keenum exists
Chad Kelly and
Paxton Lynch, though the team has not yet decided to cement Kelly as the No. 2, move on from Lynch, or add another veteran to the stable.
Speaking at his post-training camp press conference last week, general manager
John Elway, upon confirming he's exploring the latter scenario, said he'll "wait and see what happens" after the second preseason game before drawing conclusions. He also outlined an ideal backup signal-caller.
