Jarrett Stidham

Denver Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham could potentially serve as a bridge option under center alongside a young QB in 2024.

Fantasy Impact

With the potential mounting that the Broncos will move on from veteran QB Russell Wilson before the start of the new league year in mid-March, NFL.com's insiders reported that the Broncos could look at Stidham as an option for next season to bridge a young QB. Stidham has one year left on his two-year, $10 million deal, and he started the last couple of games in 2023. With the No. 12 pick, the Broncos may opt to take a QB in the NFL Draft, or they could get aggressive and look for a trade-up opportunity. If they bring in a young QB, Stidham could get the nod early in the year while they coach up their new acquisition on the side.

Jarrett Stidham completed 20 of 34 passes for 272 yards with one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 27-14 loss to the Raiders.

Stidham failed to lead the Broncos to a second straight win to wrap up the season, but he did fare pretty well in Las Vegas on Sunday. While starting the final two games of the campaign, the 27-year-old quarterback completed 60.6 percent of his passes for nearly 500 yards and a 2-to-1 TD/INT ratio. The Broncos will spend the offseason trying to figure out their QB situation, so time will tell if they believe Stidham to be a possibility after these two games.
