The crystal ball reveals that Jarrett Stidham is favored to be the odd man out in the Denver Broncos quarterback battle.
To no one's surprise, including those media observers in all likelihood, Bo Nix remains the favorite to be named starting quarterback of the Broncos to open the 2024 season.In the three-way quarterback competition in Denver, Nix is a -400 favorite at DraftKings.com. New arrival Zach Wilson is a +450 underdog, while Jarrett Stidham, who started the final two games of last season for the Broncos, is the long shot at +650.
Payton low-key coveted Wilson pre-draft. For what reason? It's hard to say, but Payton wanted the former No. 2 overall pick in Denver and has worked to repair Wilson's confidence out of the gates. Stidham comes with a $7M cap hit in 2024. If the Broncos were to release him before the season starts, they'd eat $1M in dead money, while saving $6M on the salary cap.
