The QB has signed a deal of $10 million for 2 years with the Broncos. The deal includes guarantees of $5 million with an addition of $4 million in incentives. The Broncos are taking their roster’s deepness seriously. While this may seem like an expensive move, Wilson’s previous season has prompted the Broncos to take such a drastic step.

Wilson has brought this upon himself
The Broncos finished their last season with only five wins. They finished last in the AFC West with a whopping 12 losses. Furthermore, Wilson himself did not have a good season, which was clearly evident from the team’s situation. Throughout 15 games, he passed for 3,524 yards and had 16 touchdown passes along with a harrowing record of 11 interceptions. With stats like this, the Broncos’ failsafe in the form of Stidham makes a lot of sense.
While the Broncos are preparing for the worst, they still seem to be hoping for the best. However, only the upcoming season will tell if Wilson is actually able to perform or if he might lose his position to Stidham.
