In a surprising move, the Denver Broncos have made a significant investment in their quarterback options for the future. According to reports, the team will pay Russell Wilson a staggering $37.72 million to not play for them this year. Alongside this unconventional arrangement, the Broncos have also signed Zach Wilson for $2.75 million, with the hopes that he will not see the field either.

Zach Wilson, a young and promising talent, is considered a developmental project by the Broncos. He is expected to serve as a third-string flyer, acting as an insurance policy in case the team fails to secure the quarterback they desire in the upcoming draft.

While it is unlikely that Wilson will be a candidate to play this season, the Broncos have their sights set firmly on the future. By giving him the opportunity to train and prove himself, they hope to evaluate his potential and consider him as a potential quarterback option for the 2025 season, should they fail to acquire their desired player in the 2024 draft.

This move adds an intriguing twist to the ongoing tension between the Broncos and the New York Jets. A rift between the two teams emerged after coach Sean Payton's critical remarks about the Jets as a "flavor-of-the-month franchise" last year, a statement that proved to be true in hindsight.

Although Wilson possesses undeniable skills, it simply did not work out for him during his time in New York. The question of whether it was the player's fault, coaching deficiencies, or a combination of various circumstances remains unanswered. Payton and the Broncos are willing to bet $2.75 million in the 2024 season that Wilson can reach his full potential under their guidance.

Interestingly, the Jets were also willing to pay Wilson $2.75 million to part ways with him, highlighting the uncertainties surrounding the young quarterback's potential.

Notably, the Broncos are scheduled to face off against the Jets in New York this year. It would certainly add some intrigue if Wilson were to take the field in that game, with hopes that he can put on an impressive performance for his new team.

As the Broncos make a bold move to secure their quarterback options, only time will tell if Zach Wilson can rise to the challenge and become the player many believe he can be. In the ever-competitive world of professional football, sometimes a change of scenery and the right opportunity can lead to a player's true potential being realized.
