The Denver Broncos continue to search for a free agent pick for a quarterback prior to April 25th when the NFL Draft starts to roll around.
Denver Broncos are highly interested on the research of the available free-agent quarterbacks and also likely potentially available via a trade, recent Jimmy Garoppolo release from Las Vegas Raiders increased the free agents options of a new quarterback for the Denver Broncos 2024 season.
What could Jimmy Garoppolo release mean for the Denver Broncos search of a quarterback?
Although veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo showed interest into getting to the New England Patriots and also back to the San Francisco 49ers, his recent PED scandal that conducted to his release by the Las Vegas Raiders; as well as his recent poor play and injuries, may limit his team options.
Nevertheless, he is a Super Bowl champion that won his two Super Bowls against the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons in 2015 and 2017. As well, he reached the 2020 Super Bowl with the San Francisco 49ers against the Kansas City Chiefs, losing in that instance against Patrick Mahomes.
Garoppolo could be a decent option for the Denver Broncos search for a new quarterback, but the team may consider negativly his recent scandal of PED ussage. At the same time, this recent events could be useful for getting a better deal considering Denver Broncos’ limited salary cap.
Ryan Tannehill: Another veteran quarterback free agent
While it is true that Ryan Tannehill is not performing as good as he was when he was a member of the 2020 Pro Bowl team, it could be another option for the Denver Broncos as they continue to lack a quarterback for the 2024 season after the release of Russell Wilson.
Ryan Tannehill last two season where not the best as he played 22 games and achieved a low 17 touchdown passes during that span. Particularly on the last season, the former Tennessee Titans’ quarterback played 10 games and 8 starts on which he only had 4 touchdowns and 7 interceptions.
With the Broncos having parted ways with Wilson, it puts them as a more viable option for a free agent quarterback. Their first priority for the 2024 NFL Draft should be drafting a young quarterback that shows some promising potential to grow with the organization if one of the top free agent options isn’t available to them.
