<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix">Bo Nix</a> made his NFL debut as the Denver Broncos met with the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 of the regular season. Head coach Sean Payton opened up on what he saw from his rookie quarterback during his first appearance and insisted other key elements of the team’s gameplan were to blame.



Lumen Field is one of the toughest stadiums to play at in the NFL. When the Denver Broncos decided on Nix to make his professional debut in such a hostile environment the team knew the risk they were taking. The experiment did not go to plan as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> fell 26-20 to the Seahawks. However, Payton made it clear the blame for the loss did not fall on Bo Nix’s shoulders.



“We’ve got to evaluate the run plan and why it wasn’t as effective as we would like,” <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton">Payton</a> said shortly after the game. “It’s going to be hard to (play) quarterback, period, if that’s the best we can do running the ball. I don’t know how many balls we dropped, and so I’ve said that before, for any quarterback playing, we’ve got to be more effective running the football. So not nearly good enough.“



The Broncos had 25 carries but recorded only 99 rushing yards. Establishing the ground game is pivotal for any team’s success through the air. With a debuting rookie QB at the helm it is paramount for the rushing attack to have success, so with their poor performance the offensive line and runningbacks left Nix out to dry in the Broncos loss to start the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season.

<h2>Payton has not lost faith in Nix</h2>



Making the jump from college football to the NFL is no easy task. A quick look around the young QBs who entered the league this week will tell you just that. Despite Bo Nix’s longer experience at the college level, he was still expected to look a bit raw in his first start and would take time to acclimate to all the intangibles of professionalism. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-bears-hc-shows-strong-support-for-qb-caleb-williams-following-tough-debut-against-titans"></div>


However, Sean Payton had no worries with what he saw from Nix in his first game at Seattle. What is more, he actually liked the attitude with which Nix performed. 



“I think part of being a young player is he’s fairly confident. I don’t want to say kid, but, yeah, I felt the whole time, he was into it, competing. We just got to be better around him and that’s my impressions from just watching it without looking at the tape.”



<h2>What’s next for Nix and the Broncos?</h2>



The Broncos fell to an 0-1 record and are already behind the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs in their division standings. As Sean Payton and his team will look to recover the lost ground, they will face one of the league’s best defenses in what will be Nix’s toughest challenge on his young NFL career. 



Next Sunday, the Broncos will be back at Denver where they’ll host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Mike Tomlin and Sean Payton are both among the top-20 NFL head coaches with the most wins in history. So when these two meet, and they did plenty of times, it is always a strategic battle.



The Steelers defense comes off an impressive match against the Falcons, in which T.J. Watt looked in mid-season form. The Broncos must contain Watt, or Bo Nix will have another ‘welcome to the NFL’ moment in Week 2.

Following a season-opening defeat for the Denver Broncos, Head Coach Sean Payton announced a shift in strategy moving forward. Payton specifically addressed rookie <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix">Bo Nix</a>‘s debut against the Seattle Seahawks and what lies ahead for the team.



Finally, the wait was over for Broncos fans, who once again saw their team don the orange and blue on the field. However, the trip to Seattle did not yield the desired results, despite Bo Nix making his debut as the starting quarterback.



Regarding the performance of the former Oregon Ducks quarterback, it was none other than Coach Payton who spoke with the Broncos’ official site and made one thing clear: “I thought he was into it. I never felt like it was too big or confusing. He was sharp. I thought he actually extended some plays with his feet. And again, we’ll look at the tape, but we have to be better around him.”



The rookie NFL player wrapped up his debut with the following stats, showcasing a solid overall performance but with areas for improvement: Nix finished 26-of-42 for 138 yards and added another touchdown, while being sacked two times and rushing five times for 35 yards.

<h2>The Broncos vs. Seattle Seahawks debut</h2>



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton">Sean Payton</a>‘s debut for the Broncos was anything but easy. Their opponent was none other than the Seattle Seahawks, playing at the always challenging Lumen Field. Despite the tough circumstances, the Broncos managed to give the home team a hard time for a significant portion of the game.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-lamar-jackson-and-ravens-threaten-patrick-mahomes-after-controversial-loss-against-chiefs"></div>


With rookie Bo Nix leading this revamped team, the Broncos were ahead at halftime in Seattle. However, they allowed 17 unanswered points in the second half and ended up on the losing side of a 26-20 final score.”



Although the final result was not as hoped, the coach and his staff now need to make a decisive adjustment. As is well-known in the NFL, every game is crucial, and if the primary goal is to reach the playoffs, they must quickly turn the tide.

<h2>What’s next for the Denver Broncos?</h2>



After a misstep in Seattle for their debut, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> have a new opportunity to turn things around and show they are contenders, at least aiming to secure that coveted playoff spot.



In light of this situation, these upcoming games will be crucial in determining the fate of Nix and company, serving as key tests to see what the Broncos are truly made of: 



<ul><li>Week 2 – Pittsburgh Steelers</li><li>Week 3 – Tampa Bay Buccaneers</li><li>Week 4 – New York Jets</li><li>Week 5 – Las Vegas Raiders</li><li>Week 6 – Los Angeles Chargers</li></ul>

Head coach Sean Payton makes bold statement on rookie QB Bo Nix first game with Denver Broncos - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> had a ‘starting quarterback’ competition during training camp and preseason to decide Russell Wilson’s succesor. And with their 2024 NFL season opener on the horizon, Sean Payton has named Bo Nix as the team’s starter, causing a reaction from Jarrett Stidham who has made his voice loud and clear.



Offseason ‘starter-battles’ always provide for great competition between teammates and tend to get the best out of every player. When quarterbacks compete for a starting job it is so much more dramatic and exciting. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton">Payton</a> held an even more rare ‘three-horse race’ for the starting job between Jarrett Stidham, Zach Wilson, and rookie Bo Nix. The latter prevailed and will take the reigns when Payton’s team visits the Seahawks. 



The decision was publicly announced and so the rookie will make his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> debut on Week 1 over the more experienced quarterbacks. However, far from throwing the towel or hoisting any white flag, Stidham has sent a clear message to the coaching staff and fellow QBs. 



“I know I’m a starting quarterback in this league. I have no doubts about that, and it just didn’t shake out my way,” Stidham said after the Broncos preseason finale. “I think they know what I can do. I think I displayed that last year whenever I was asked to come in and play the last two games, throughout practice, throughout training camp, OTAs, the whole thing. At the end of the day, I’m going to go out there and do what I do.“

“I feel like I have a very unique experience, playing behind—in my opinion—the best quarterback to ever play and seeing what that was like day-in and day-out,” stated the former Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots quarterback. “Obviously I’m going to do whatever I can to help Bo get prepared. Obviously he’s never had a real season like this in the NFL. I’m going to help him whatever way I can, and then also be ready to go if I need to be.”

<h2>Bo Nix will make NFL debut back in North West</h2>



Rookie quarterback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix">Bo Nix</a> has more playing experience than most rookies do when they get to the NFL. Nix played five seasons through college, as a freshman, sophomore, and junior at Auburn and on top of that he played two senior years in Oregon.



So when Nix was drafted 12th overall by the Denver Broncos on the 2024 NFL Draft, the Mile High franchise knew they weren’t getting any regular youngster. Coming off a sensational season with the Oregon Ducks, Bo Nix is set to return to the Northwestern region, but to kickstart his professional career. This time around, though, he will step onto the field in upstate Washington on September 8th when the Broncos take on the Seattle Seahawks. 



As Nix embarks on his NFL Journey, many memories will reminisce from his college days and his debut location may be one signal for what is it to come. Although his position is not set on stone, Nix starts off with Sean Payton and the Broncos staff’s trust. The job is now his to lose or confirm.

With the NFL season just days away from starting, most teams are still fine-tuning their preparations, with many still deciding how to approach Week 1. This is the case for Sean Payton and his Denver Broncos, who have yet to finalize the situation regarding QB Bo Nix. In light of this, none other than <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick">Bill Belichick</a> has weighed in on what to do with the rookie.



The Broncos face the urgent need to perform decently this season and, potentially, make a playoff push. To achieve this, they have placed all their bets on former Oregon Ducks QB <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix">Bo Nix</a> in this draft.



The 2023-24 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season left the Colorado team with a losing record of 8-9, which placed them third in the AFC West, missing out on the playoffs. Both the management and fans are firmly betting on turning things around this year.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Broncos</a> are undergoing a restructuring process, and they have yet to designate a franchise player. They are betting on youth for a crucial position like quarterback.

Head coach <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton">Sean Payton</a> has not yet firmly decided what to do with the rookie from Oregon, and on this situation, has weighed in none other than someone with multiple titles throughout his coaching career.

<h2>Bill Belichick crucial advices</h2>



In an interview with Pat McAfee, it was Bill Belichick who weighed in on the situation with Bo Nix and the Broncos as the upcoming season approaches.



The multiple-time champion coach with Tom Brady at the New England Patriots was decisive: “Sean Payton is gonna go with Bo Nix when he feels like he’s ready to go.. If you’re sure Bo Nix is the guy then you go with him but you don’t turn back. You just stay with him all the way through”.

<h2>Belichick and his thoughts on Sean Payton</h2>



The former Patriots coach, now retired from the sidelines, also hinted at his opinion regarding Sean Payton’s work with the Broncos.



“Sean Payton is a great Quarterback coach and he’ll have those guys ready to go. He runs a very fast offense and there’s a lot of decision making that has to take place in a hurry. If Sean is comfortable with what Bo can do he’s gonna go with him”.

Bill Belichick has crucial advice for Sean Payton on how to handle Broncos' QB situation

Bill Belichick has crucial advice for Sean Payton on how to handle Broncos' QB situation - Bolavip US

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> have undergone a major rebuild this year. With the departure of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a>, uncertainty looms over the quarterback position, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> has now intensified concerns surrounding the situation.



In 2016, following their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> 50 victory, the Broncos faced a significant setback when <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peyton-manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peyton Manning</a> retired from football, leaving a massive void for the AFC West team.



Since then, the Broncos have struggled to find a worthy successor to the legendary quarterback. However, they have now brought in a new quarterback who could potentially be the solution to their long-standing issues.



<h2>Sean Payton clears the air on the Broncos’ starting QB situation</h2>



Peyton Manning was the last solid quarterback the Broncos had. In 2022, Denver attempted to replicate the veteran-QB formula with Russell Wilson, but the plan fell short.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-broncos-make-intriguing-move-regarding-their-starting-qb-job"></div>


Earlier this year, the AFC West team parted ways with Wilson. In the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, the Broncos selected Bo Nix in the first round, hoping he would become the franchise quarterback they’ve been seeking for years.



However, the competition for the starting job remains unclear. Jarrett Stidham has impressed Sean Payton, leaving the head coach uncertain about who will secure the role for the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season.



“Every one of us recognizes the significance of getting that position settled and having [someone at] that position who we feel like we can win with,” Payton said Wednesday, via the team’s official transcript. “When that is unsettled, it’s tough on your team. …



“It’s a good group to work with and I know the offensive coaches feel that way. I feel that way. I like where we’re at right now and that’s encouraging for our team. Because when that’s unsettled and maybe not as far along, then there’s a lot of things you can do well and yet the team sees there’s a ceiling maybe on what you can do.”

Sean Payton noted that Bo Nix had a remarkable debut in the preseason. Reports suggest that while Stidham may start in Week 1 to ease the rookie in, the former Oregon standout is expected to eventually take over the starting role.



<h2>How many Super Bowls have the Broncos won?</h2>



The Denver Broncos have won three Super Bowl titles. Their victories came in Super Bowl XXXII (1997) and Super Bowl XXXIII (1998) under the leadership of quarterback John Elway and head coach Mike Shanahan, and later in Super Bowl 50 (2015) with Peyton Manning at quarterback.

These wins have solidified the Broncos’ place as one of the NFL’s successful franchises, particularly during those championship runs, where they showcased strong team performances and elite quarterback play.

NFL News: Sean Payton sparks uncertainty among Broncos fans

In the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> will have a new signal-caller leading the offense. However, the AFC West team has made an intriguing move that raises many questions about their future starting quarterback.



For most Broncos fans, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peyton-manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peyton Manning</a> was the last solid quarterback the club had. He led the team to victory in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> 50, but things have not been the same since then.



In 2022, the team acquired <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a>, who was expected to be the answer to their problems. Unfortunately, he didn’t meet expectations and was released by the club earlier this year.



<h2>Report: Broncos make shocking decision regarding their starting QB for 2024</h2>



During this offseason, rumors about Russell Wilson’s potential exit from the Broncos were confirmed. The Super Bowl XLVIII champion had a challenging tenure in Denver, leading the team to part ways with him this year.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-legend-peyton-manning-wants-to-lead-the-usa-football-team-in-the-2028-olympics"></div>


However, the Broncos had a plan for his departure. In April, Denver traded with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-jets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Jets</a> for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/zach-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Zach Wilson</a>, an experienced quarterback seeking a second chance in the NFL.



Shortly after, the Broncos made additional changes to their quarterback room. During the 2024 NFL Draft, the club selected <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bo-nix" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bo Nix</a> in the first round, suggesting he might be the starting quarterback.



Surprisingly, neither has been chosen as the starting QB. Today, the Broncos released their first unofficial depth chart, listing Zach Wilson as QB2 and Bo Nix as the third option.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240807_BUS_155506_Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks-1024x576_1944c946.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Bo Nix, former QB of the Oregon Ducks" class="wp-image-78645" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Bo-Nix-of-the-Oregon-Ducks.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Bo Nix, former QB of the Oregon Ducks</figcaption></figure>



But who is the starting quarterback? Jarrett Stidham appears as the primary option. However, it’s not time to panic, Broncos fans, as this depth chart may not be final for the upcoming season.



This unofficial list may have been released by the media relations department rather than the executives, as is common practice before the preseason. Additionally, Sean Payton has hinted that the race for the starting job may be between Nix and Stidham, not Wilson.



<h2>Will the Broncos release Zach Wilson prior to the 2024 NFL season?</h2>



As mentioned earlier, Sean Payton has not shown much endorsement for Zach Wilson since his arrival. While the club needed depth at the position, it appears Jarrett Stidham will sit behind Bo Nix in the upcoming campaign.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-broncos-star-warn-russell-wilson-ahead-of-week-2-reunion"></div>


This situation raises doubts about Zach Wilson’s future. If he’s relegated to QB3, there may be little reason to keep him on the roster. Consequently, rumors suggest the club may part ways with him in the near future.

NFL News: Broncos make intriguing move regarding their starting QB job

The Denver Broncos are ready to start a new era with rookie Bo Nix as their franchise quarterback. It’s a very risky decision by head coach Sean Payton trying to challenge <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/patrick-mahomes">Patrick Mahomes</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kansas-city-chiefs">Kansas City Chiefs</a> in the AFC West.



The bet on Nix is so big that the Broncos decided to release Russell Wilson, absorbing $85 million in dead money over the next two seasons. The veteran will try to revamp his career with Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers.



Now, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> have to make every possible move to help Nix in his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> development, but all of this comes with the significant limitation of the salary cap due to the failed Wilson trade.



To free up space, the Broncos already traded star wide receiver Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns and released Pro Bowl safety Justin Simmons. A few days after the 2024 Draft, Denver have made another important announcement.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240512_BUS_125695_seanpayton-1024x576_2132ef55.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-122397" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/seanpayton-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/seanpayton-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/seanpayton-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/seanpayton-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/04/seanpayton.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sean Payton has a lot of problems with the Broncos due to the salary cap (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Denver Broncos release Phillip Dorsett</h2>



The Denver Broncos have officially released wide receiver Phillip Dorsett. The veteran signed with the team before the start of the 2023 season and played two games.







Dorsett was a great prospect in college football and was recruited by the Indianapolis Colts with the No.29 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. However, he didn’t live up to the expectations and, in 2017, Phillip was traded to the New England Patriots in exchange for quarterback Jacoby Brissett.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dallas-cowboys-release-controversial-wide-receiver"></div>


<h2>When did Phillip Dorsett win a Super Bowl?</h2>



In 2018, Dorsett was part of the New England Patriots when they conquered Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams. He appeared in 16 games during that season.



After his stint with the Patriots ended in 2019, the wide receiver played for other teams like the Seattle Seahawks, the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Houston Texans. In 2023, he made it to the Raiders’ practice squad before being signed by the Broncos.

Sean Payton chose his favorite quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft. Bo Nix, the star of <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/college-football">college football</a> with Oregon, will lead the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos">Denver Broncos</a> after the team decided to release veteran Russell Wilson.



However, just hours before the first round took place at Detroit, many rumors sparked about a possible change of mind for the Broncos. Considering Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye wouldn’t be available at No.12, J.J. McCarthy suddenly became an option.



McCarthy was sensational leading Michigan to a national championship and his stock went up in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a> due to the constant praise from his former head coach, Jim Harbaugh.



Now, in a very shocking statement, Payton admitted that he deliberately ‘trolled’ the Vikings after the Atlanta Falcons chose Michael Penix Jr with the No.8 overall pick.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240428_BUS_122229_seanpayton-1024x576_8b45975c.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-110232" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/seanpayton-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/seanpayton-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/seanpayton-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/seanpayton-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/03/seanpayton.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sean Payton revealed a ‘controversial move’ in the 2024 Draft (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Sean Payton ‘trolled’ Minnesota Vikings in 2024 NFL Draft</h2>



During a press conference to explain his thoughts about picking Bo Nix, Sean Payton admitted that he made some moves to deceive the Minnesota Vikings as the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft was taking place. 







The Broncos’ head coach revealed that his ‘plan’ was to project the idea that Denver were ready to jump on the board to recruit J.J. McCarthy. It’s important to remember they were at No.12 and the Vikings at No.11. “I was actively involved in trying to pretend we were moving forward (laughs).”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/dak-prescott-threatens-to-leave-dallas-cowboys"></div>


In the end, the Minnesota Vikings might have thought the Broncos were up to something as they traded a fourth and fifth round picks with the New York Jets to take the No.10 spot and ‘secure’ McCarthy.



According to Payton’s words, the Broncos never had the intention of selecting the Michigan prospect as Bo Nix was always their top player at the quarterback position, but, the Falcons’ pick at No.8 put some pressure on them. “When Atlanta took Penix, now it was like, ‘Holy cow. Do we have to go up?&apos;”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/nfl-news-patrick-mahomes-and-chiefs-get-shocking-offer-to-leave-kansas-city"></div>


GM George Paton also acknowledged that. “We just didn’t want to overthink it This was our guy (Bo Nix). We were going to take our guy. We could’ve moved a couple picks back and maybe got some picks, but at the end of the day, this was our guy. Let’s just take him. Let’s not overthink it. We would’ve been sick if we lost him just for a couple fifth-round picks or what have you.”

Sean Payton 'baited' Minnesota Vikings in NFL Draft 2024

A few weeks ago, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a> decided to part ways with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a>. Now, in the need of a new starting quarterback, HC Sean Payton might be contemplating a shocking decision regarding this matter.



The Broncos have struggled to find stability at the quarterback position since <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peyton-manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peyton Manning’s</a> departure. Despite Manning’s illustrious career, the AFC West team has grappled with finding a worthy successor, cycling through a series of unsuccessful prospects.



In 2022, the team acquired Russell Wilson, but he was released earlier this year. Now, the team is in search of a new quarterback, and Sean Payton is already contemplating a surprising solution to this dilemma.



<h2>Sean Payton unveils plans regarding the starting quarterback vacancy</h2>



The Denver Broncos are confronting a significant challenge. With Russell Wilson’s departure, they must now identify a new starting quarterback, leaving fans eager to learn who will step into the role.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/russell-wilson-trade-could-get-even-worse-for-the-broncos"></div>


Currently, the Broncos hold the 12th overall pick in the 2024 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. While fans anticipate the selection of a quarterback in the first round, analysts suggest that securing a top-tier quarterback at that position may prove challenging.



However, Sean Payton may have a surprising solution to this problem. The head coach may be considering sticking with Jarrett Stidham as the starter if they are unable to trade up to select one of the best prospects of this class.



“He’s definitely competing to be the starter,” Payton said about Stidham. “I don’t think we have a term ‘driver’s seat’ really. But he is going to compete for that position. I know he’s anxious and excited to do that, and I’m sure there will be other candidates that will be competing with him.”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240326_BUS_114374_Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022-1024x572_7ef87a80.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=572" alt="Sean Payton - Denver Broncos - NFL 2022" class="wp-image-54882" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022-1024x572.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022-300x168.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022-768x429.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/Sean-Payton-Denver-Broncos-NFL-2022.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Sean Payton – Denver Broncos – NFL 2022</figcaption></figure>



Payton also discussed the possibility of trading up. The head coach is aware that their current position might not secure them an elite quarterback, so they are contemplating acquiring a better draft position, even if it comes at a high cost.



“I think trading up is realistic,” Payton said. “What’s hard to predict, though, is what’s on the receiving end. It’s good to be [Cardinals general manager Monti Ossenfort] in Arizona. It’s hard to predict what that cost is and hard to say it’s unrealistic.“



<h2>Should the Broncos hire a quarterback in the free agency?</h2>



Following Russell Wilson’s departure, Broncos fans are pondering whether the team should consider acquiring a veteran quarterback in free agency. While this approach appears improbable, it remains a possibility.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nfl/russell-wilson-confirms-the-next-team-hell-play-for-in-the-2024-nfl-season"></div>


Unfortunately, there are few top names available in free agency. While Ryan Tannehill and Carson Wentz emerge as the best options, neither would offer a long-term solution for the club.

Faced with setbacks in this mission, they have now executed a bold move in pursuit of realizing this transformation.



Things have not been perfect for the Broncos lately. In 2022, they acquired Russell Wilson in a blockbuster trade with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seahawks</a>. However, he has been unable to prove his worth to the franchise.



For that reason, they opted to bring Sean Payton on board last year. However, their first season together fell short of expectations, leaving the front office desperate to make this partnership succeed.



<h2>Sean Payton brings back a former staff member to aid Russell Wilson’s improvement</h2>



It seems like the Broncos still have confidence on Russell Wilson’s success. The quarterback has been unable to prove his worth in Denver, and time is running out for him quickly.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240109#BUS#96838"></div>


At the conclusion of the 2023 season, there were rumors circulating about the Broncos considering parting ways with Wilson. However, recent reports indicate they are inclined to give him another chance this year.



With this in mind, Sean Payton is making every effort to facilitate Wilson’s improvement. The head coach is reshuffling his coaching staff and has recently enlisted a former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-orleans-saints" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Saints</a> member for this specific task.



According to The Times-Picayune, Pete Carmichael Jr. is set to join the Broncos for the 2024 season. Notably, he served as the offensive coordinator for Payton during the Saints’ <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> XLIV victory with Drew Brees as their quarterback.

Carmichael’s arrival is not anticipated to be for the OC role. With Joe Lombardi currently leading the offense, there are speculations that Carmichael will assume the role of assistant coach under Payton.



<h2>Will the Broncos part ways with Russell Wilson?</h2>



The Broncos have a huge problem to solve this offseason. Russell Wilson has been unable to succed with the AFC West team, and rumors suggest that he could be playing for another team next season.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240101#BUS#95298"></div>


However, Payton’s decision to bring in Carmichael sparks uncertainty. Carmichael previously crafted an exceptional offense with an elite quarterback like Drew Brees, suggesting that his arrival could potentially yield similar success with Russell Wilson.

Last year, the Broncos made a blockbuster trade with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a>. The AFC East team acquired Russell Wilson, but they gave away several players and top draft picks in exchange for him.



The Broncos expected this move to immediately work, but it didn’t. The quarterback has been unable to lead the team to success, and the front office might consider releasing him during the upcoming offseason.



<h2>HC Sean Payton shares intriguing update about Russell Wilson’s continuity</h2>



Russell Wilson’s tenure with the Broncos has been rough. The quarterback arrived with high expectations, but he has not been able to live up to them and has disappointed everyone so far.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240101#BUS#95298"></div>


Even though his 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season was decent, the Broncos decided to bench him for the last two games. According to rumors, the team’s front office is interested in parting ways with him, but it is a very complicated situation.



Releasing Wilson would impact the team’s salary cap, and trading him could potentially create financial hurdles. It seems the team is reassessing their decision to part ways with him, likely considering the significant economic implications.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a>, head coach of the Broncos, has given an intriguing update about the quarterback’s future. “That final decision has not been made,” Payton said, via the Denver Gazette.



A few days ago, when Payton made the decision of benching Wilson, everyone thought that the quarterback’s time at Denver was over. However, it seems like there’s still a chance of seeing him in Colorado for at least one more season.

Wilson recently mentioned that the Broncos issued him an ultimatum: either renegotiate his contract or face being benched. Payton’s remarks suggest that both parties are possibly in discussions to find a resolution, aiming to craft a new deal that serves the interests of both sides.



<h2>What stops the Broncos from trading Russell Wilson?</h2>



For many fans, the prevailing question remains: why haven’t the Broncos traded Russell Wilson? The answer boils down to one simple factor: the huge impact on their salary cap. Despite his potential absence from the roster, they’d still be obligated to cover a portion of his salary.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231230#BUS#95136"></div>


Should the Broncos trade Russell Wilson before June 1st, they’d face a substantial $32.6 million cap hit for the 2024 season. However, if the trade occurs after that date, they could save approximately $17 million, though it would still significantly affect their financial situation.

NFL News: Broncos provide an intriguing update on Russell Wilson's future

Russell Wilson&nbsp;was officially benched by&nbsp;Sean Payton&nbsp;after the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a>&nbsp;lost against the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>&nbsp;on Christmas Eve. At first, the head coach said the decision was made to produce a spark on offense. 



“I understand all the speculation and everything that surrounds a move like that. Look, we’re desperately trying to win. Sure, in our game today there are economics and all those other things. But the No. 1 push behind this, and it’s a decision I’m making, is to get a spark offensively.”



Nevertheless, just a few hours after the announcement, many reports in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>&nbsp;confirmed that the move was just to save money and that it was a plan in the works since October. If&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>&nbsp;doesn’t pass a physical in March of 2024, the quarterback will get an additional&nbsp;$37 million guaranteed. 



That’s why, in order to avoid any possible injury to trigger that clause, the Broncos went with&nbsp;Jarred Stidham. Now, in a shocking turn of events, the star quarterback confirmed everything is true. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231230_BUS_95136_russellwilson-1-1024x576_c5ac1132.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-94759" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/russellwilson-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/russellwilson-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/russellwilson-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/russellwilson-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/russellwilson-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Russell Wilson is in the middle of a huge controversy with the Denver Broncos (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Russell Wilson explains why he was benched by Sean Payton</h2>



Russell Wilson spoke for the first time about the controversy with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos. It’s important to remember that, before the quarterback’s words, we only had numerous reports and the head coach denying the story. 







Wilson was asked about the famous injury guarantee and if the Denver Broncos approached him in October to adjust the contract. It was a crucial question as the quarterback played for a month knowing Sean Payton wanted to bench him.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231229#BUS#94915"></div>


“Yeah. When we beat the Chiefs, they came to me during the bye week. When the bye week began, on Monday or Tuesday, they told me that if I didn’t change my contract, my injury guarantee, that I’ll be benched for the rest of the year.”



<h2>Russell Wilson is disappointed with Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos</h2>



Of course, no one understands why Sean Payton would say that to Russell Wilson after a massive win against the Kansas City Chiefs. They had a 3-5 record and were very much alive in the playoff race.



Then, following the bye week, the Broncos won three consecutive games and became one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. Wilson play through that knowing his head coach and front office didn’t want him on the field.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231227#BUS#94542"></div>


“There were nine games left or so. I was definitely disappointed about it. It was a process for the whole week. For all bye week. We just came of beating the Chiefs. We just came off of that. So, I was excited obviously for us fighting for the playoffs and get on a hot streak.”



<h2>How long is the contract of Russell Wilson with the Denver Broncos?</h2>



In 2022,&nbsp;Russell Wilson&nbsp;signed a&nbsp;five-year contract extension&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Denver Broncos&nbsp;until the 2028 season. That deal was worth $245 million ($165 million were guaranteed).



Wilson had two years remaining in his previous contract with the&nbsp;Seahawks. That’s why, the extension with the Broncos hasn’t even started for the quarterback and that&nbsp;$37 million bonus&nbsp;won’t trigger after being benched to avoid injuries.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93433"></div>


“The NFLPA and the NFL got involved or whatever I think at some point. I think, for me, I just came here to win and there was going to be a process. I signed a seven-year deal for us to go play hard and that’s my goal every time I step into the white lines. Give everything I have. I want to be here. I want play here. I want to win championships here. I want to be the best teammate and leader.”

Russell Wilson&nbsp;was officially benched by&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a>&nbsp;after a surprising 26-23 loss against the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>&nbsp;on Christmas Eve. Now, Jarred Stidham will be the starting quarterback for the remainder of the season.



Though the Broncos have been struggling recently on offense, Wilson’s numbers are solid compared to other players at the position. 26 touchdowns, 3070 yards, 66.4% completion percentage and only eight interceptions. 



However, Sean Payton argued that the move is to find an immediate spark on offense following many reports in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl">NFL</a>&nbsp;which pointed out this was clearly a decision to save money. If&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson">Russell Wilson</a>&nbsp;doesn’t pass a physical in March of 2024, the quarterback will get an additional&nbsp;$37 million guaranteed.



“I understand all the speculation and everything that surrounds a move like that. Look, we’re desperately trying to win. Sure, in our game today there are economics and all those other things. But the No. 1 push behind this, and it’s a decision I’m making, is to get a spark offensively.”

<h2>Report: Russell Wilson will be released by the Denver Broncos</h2>



Furthermore, according to a report from Dianna Russini, the&nbsp;Denver Broncos&nbsp;will move on from Russell Wilson in 2024. It won’t matter the massive hit in the salary cap for a player who won’t be on the field. 







As a consequence, the debate has started to determine if this is one of the worst trades in NFL history. Before the start of the 2022 season, the Seahawks traded Russell Wilson and a 2022 fourth-round draft pick to the Denver Broncos.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93433"></div>


In exchange, Seattle got a 2022 first-round pick, a 2022 second-round pick, a 2022 fifth-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, a 2023 second-round pick, tight end Noah Fant, defensive end Shelby Harris and quarterback Drew Lock.

“I understand all the speculation and everything that surrounds a move like that. Look, we’re desperately trying to win. Sure, in our game today there are economics and all those other things. But the No. 1 push behind this, and it’s a decision I’m making, is to get a spark offensively.”

Furthermore, according to a report from Dianna Russini, the Denver Broncos will cut Wilson in 2024 even with the massive hit in the salary cap for a player who won’t be on the field. Then, it would go down as one of the worst trades in history.

<h2>Russell Wilson’s message after being benched by Sean Payton</h2>



That information by Russini also points out that the Denver Broncos informed Russell Wilson of the decision months ago and that head coach Sean Payton is looking for a fresh start at quarterback.







“Russell Wilson is expecting to be cut by the Denver Broncos in March. For almost two months, the quarterback has been starting knowing the organization was most likely going to move on him from after this season. The Broncos reached out to Wilson’s representatives in late October and explained that Wilson would lose the starting job and be made inactive for the rest of the season if he did not defer the injury guarantee trigger date that he has for 2025.”



This Thursday, the quarterback finally reacted on social media to all the controversy and declared himself ready for a possible change of team. “God’s got me. Looking forward to what’s next.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93433"></div>


<h2>How long is the contract of Russell Wilson with the Denver Broncos?</h2>



In 2022,&nbsp;Russell Wilson&nbsp;signed a&nbsp;five-year contract extension&nbsp;with the&nbsp;Denver Broncos&nbsp;until the 2028 season. That deal was worth $245 million ($165 million were guaranteed).

<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231227#BUS#94542"></div>


This type of move isn’t new to the&nbsp;NFL&nbsp;in the last years. For example, the&nbsp;Raiders&nbsp;did it when they benched&nbsp;Derek Carr&nbsp;and&nbsp;Jimmy Garoppolo. Both had that injury guarantee which would translate in huge money if they couldn’t pass a physical in the next offseason. Las Vegas avoided that benching them.



Of course, no one expected the decision will go further as Russell Wilson could be out of the team in 2024. Even with the tremendous hit to the salary cap, it seems Sean Payton just had enough.

Russell Wilson's message after being benched by the Broncos - Bolavip US

The 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season is practically over for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-broncos" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Denver Broncos</a>. For that reason, they have decided to bench <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/russell-wilson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Russell Wilson</a> for the last two games, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/sean-payton" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Sean Payton</a> has revealed that it was a desperate move.



This year has been an absolute roller coaster for the Broncos. From <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/tyreek-hill-reveals-why-the-dolphins-didnt-go-for-the-nfl-scoring-record-vs-broncos-20230929-BUS-69909.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">conceding 70 points against the Dolphins</a> to securing five consecutive wins against the Packers, Chiefs, Bills, Vikings, and Browns.



Despite their efforts and Russell Wilson’s improvement, it appears they won’t advance to the playoffs this year. Now, in a move that has surprised their fans, they’ve decided to bench the former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-seahawks" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seahawks</a> player, and Sean Payton has revealed why.



<h2>Sean Payton reveals why the Broncos decided to bench Russell Wilson</h2>



There’s only a 1% chance for the Broncos to advance to the playoffs. The recent loss to the Patriots has completely altered the scenario for Denver. It was a missed opportunity to narrow the gap with the Chiefs and potentially contend for the AFC West title.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231227#BUS#94592"></div>


With their playoff hopes nearly impossible, the team’s coaching staff has opted to bench Russell Wilson. Many analysts speculate this decision aims to avoid paying him $37 million next year, but Sean Payton has refuted those rumors.



Russell Wilson’s contract stipulates that if he doesn’t pass a physical by early March, the Broncos would owe him $37 million. Since he won’t play for the rest of the season, they’re aiming to prevent any potential injury and avoid paying that sum.



Nevertheless, Sean Payton has disclosed the actual reason for his decision. The head coach believes it’s time for a drastic change, seeing it as necessary for the team to achieve success as quickly as possible.



“I can tell you, look, we’re desperately trying to win,” the head coach said, via 9News Sports in Denver. “The No. 1 push behind this, and it’s a decision I’m making, is to provide a spark offensively. Obviously it’s difficult, and all of us feel like ‘man, we didn’t do well enough,’ but one of the things we saw when we signed Stidham in the offseason, not only from preseason games but regular-season games, but he’s a guy I’m excited to see play.



“If I didn’t feel like he gave us the chance to win, we wouldn’t be making that move.”

Jarrett Stidham, previously with the Las Vegas Raiders, joined Colorado this year as Wilson’s backup. Now, he has the chance to showcase his skills and make a case for becoming the starter next season. The question remains: Can he replace Russell Wilson?



<h2>Will the Broncos trade Russell Wilson in 2024?</h2>



Russell Wilson was signed by the Denver Broncos last year and people are already thinking that he might not play for them in 2024. However, a trade is not the best option in financial terms for the AFC West club.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231117#BUS#86383"></div>


If the Broncos aim to trade Wilson (provided they find a willing team), they would incur a $32.6 million hit against their 2024 cap. Opting to wait and deal him post-June 1 would allow them to save $17 million, but this entails waiting until summer, which some teams might not do when seeking a quarterback.
