## Resource

Denver Broncos have locked in Jarrett Stidham as Bo Nix’s backup quarterback for the season, marking his fourth year in the No. 2 role under Sean Payton. Though Sam Ehlinger battled hard in camp and earned a roster spot as the third QB — showcasing playmaking flashes and off-schedule creativity — Stidham’s system familiarity and experience edged him out. With both backups on expiring deals, the team’s QB depth may reflect future planning. Payton remains committed to Nix, who’s looked sharp post-injury, while the offense is dialing back designed runs for added protection. It’s business as usual: Nix leads, Stidham’s ready, and Ehlinger’s got a roster spot — but not the starting clipboard.
