The Denver Broncos' quarterback competition might be down to a two-man race.
in Week 5 that put Wilson on Payton's map, although, he only passed for 199 yards with an interception.
Although Wilson's three-year NFL resume makes it difficult to imagine Payton labeling him as a "fail-safe," he was an experienced option, at least, and could compete with Stidham if the Broncos fell short of getting a quarterback in the draft. Wilson arrived about a week ahead of the draft, and on April 25, the Broncos made Nix the No. 12 overall pick, setting the table for a three-way open competition at quarterback.
The Broncos inherited the prerogative to exercise Wilson's fifth-year option by virtue of the Jets trade, but Payton and company declined. Toward the end of the offseason training program,that Denver's focus was on repairing Wilson's confidence, which implies that he's a bit further behind in the pecking order than his former No. 2 overall draft pedigree would assume., Stidham was the best Broncos quarterback this offseason, and others in the media have agreed.
I'd have to concur with Kosmider's read on the situation; the Broncos could end up keeping all three quarterbacks on the roster, especially if Wilson makes up some ground in training camp and preseason action, but if Nix fulfills the expectation, ultimately, of winning the starting job, there's little upside in holding onto another veteran quarterback to back up the guy you signed as a free agent to be your No. 2.
