Here's how Jarrett Stidham really feels about the Denver Broncos drafting Bo Nix in the first round.
releasing Russell Wilson to the tune of record-high dead-money charges on the salary cap, quarterback Jarrett Stidham must have been riding high. Signed to a two-year, $10 million deal last year to serve as Wilson's backup, Stidham was eventually tapped to start the final two games of the season after Sean Payton benched the nine-time Pro Bowler.
“I’ve dealt with this before when I was in New England with Mac Jones," Stidham said on Thursday following Broncos OTA practice. "It’s a business and I totally understand it, but at the same time, I’m here to compete. I’m not going to just sit down and let someone else walk in here and—I’m going to work my butt off to get the job. I’m super excited about it.
“I’ve known Bo since he was 16 or 17 years old," Stidham said. "We go way back. I know him and his family really well, and I hosted him on his official visit to Auburn back in the day.” “Way more comfortable," Stidham said. "I’m not out there thinking as much, I’m just out there playing free and playing more confident, which is great. It’s been good.”
