Now, if Broncos are trading for him because he has some talent (he was the #2 pick for a reason) and Payton thinks he can mine that out of him, well that make sense.
But THAT very much means Payton is putting his QB legacy on the line here, since people still question whether he was really responsible for HOFer Brees.
I haven’t seen the details on what they are paying on the contract… can’t wait for Perna’s reaction video. [Reply]

I remember when we had Matt Cassel and brought in Brady Quinn as "depth" [Reply]

Would not be surprised at all if the plan is to make him the starter. If he works, then it's a brilliant turnaround Payton is a genius again. If it fails miserably the Broncos finish this tank job they seem to be working on and pick top 5 next year. With Zach Wilson I don't think there is a lot of middle ground. [Reply]
