Trade News: Denver broncos Revealed Its Biggest Trade Ever

Sam Darnold, a free agency quarterback, was shown interest by the Broncos on Monday, the first day of the negotiation window. However, the Broncos objected to his $10 million demand. According to people with knowledge of the matter, Darnold was much more interested in the Minnesota Vikings and everything they had to offer than the Broncos, who are obviously in a transitional phase after Russell Wilson’s trade and the ensuing dead-cap fallout.

The Vikings and Darnold agreed to a $10 million, one-year contract.

Another backup option, Jacoby Brissett, returned to New England for $8 million to coach or support the Patriots’ third-round rookie quarterback pick.

After doing their research on New England quarterback Mac Jones, the Broncos made the decision not to engage in trade negotiations. Jones was traded to Jacksonville in exchange for a pitiful sixth-round draft selection. Denver was also not in on Kirk Cousins or Baker Mayfield. Far too costly. Over the following two seasons, Mayfield returned to Tampa Bay for $30 million year, while Cousins signed a massive contract worth $45 million annually with Atlanta.

Mason Rudolph, who has less recent experience than Stidham, was also passed on by the Broncos in favour of Tennessee on a team-friendly one-year, $2.87 million contract.

What comes next? The Broncos may look at the six available quarterback prospects, two of whom are available through free agency and the other four via trade. The following examines those six quarterbacks with the knowledge that the Broncos appear to be inclined to give Stidham the advantage as the top pick and to select their quarterback of the future with their No. 12 overall draft pick.
