Broncos Decline Fifth-Year Option for QB Zach Wilson

The Denver Broncos have decided not to pick up the fifth-year option on quarterback Zach Wilson, signaling a lack of long-term commitment.

The Denver Broncos declined the fifth-year option for quarterback Zach Wilson, which would have guaranteed him $22.4 million for the 2025 season.
This decision comes shortly after the Broncos traded for Wilson and drafted quarterback Bo Nix, indicating a shift in their quarterback strategy.
Wilson, who struggled with the New York Jets, will now have the 2024 season to prove his worth in Denver.
The Broncos' move allows them to save money and potentially look for other options at quarterback if Wilson does not perform.
Denver's quarterback room also includes Bo Nix and Jarrett Stidham, setting up a competitive environment for the starting position.
