In this week's Broncos Mailbag, fans of the Denver Broncos pose questions about the team's quarterback situation, General Manager George Paton, the wide receiver group, and the upcoming roster management project. Denver Post writer Parker Gabriel provides insightful answers to these burning questions.

The biggest topic of discussion revolves around the Broncos' quest for a new quarterback. The disappointment over the failed Russell Wilson trade has left fans eager for a resolution to their long-standing quarterback woes. Many are wondering if the team will pursue top prospects like Justin Fields in the upcoming draft. Gabriel points out that with the financial implications of cutting Wilson, the options might be limited. However, he suggests exploring various avenues in free agency, trades, and evaluating backup quarterbacks who have gained playing time due to injuries.

Switching gears, the conversation shifts to the possibility of players being run out of town by Head Coach Sean Payton. Gabriel explains that while Payton may not be directly responsible for players leaving, turnover is inevitable in the NFL. The Broncos also have to contend with salary cap constraints for the 2024 season, which may influence roster changes. Gabriel highlights impending free agents like Lloyd Cushenberry, Josey Jewell, P.J. Locke, Adam Trautman, and Fabian Moreau, as well as players with large cap numbers who could potentially be extended, restructured, traded, or released.

Addressing concerns about General Manager George Paton's accountability, Gabriel acknowledges that some high-profile moves haven't panned out as expected. The hiring of Nathaniel Hackett as head coach and the Russell Wilson trade have faced criticism. However, Gabriel suggests looking at the broader context and considering the negotiation process that led to Wilson's extension. He also defends Paton's decisions regarding players like Randy Gregory and trades involving Von Miller and Bradley Chubb. While the front office dynamics may have shifted, Gabriel suggests that it remains to be seen whether larger changes will occur.

All in all, the Broncos Mailbag offers fans insights into the team's quarterback hunt, roster management, and the potential future of the front office. As the offseason progresses, Denver Broncos fans eagerly await the team's moves, hoping for a brighter future on the gridiron.
