Summary
Jarrett Stidham stays firmly locked in as Denver’s No. 2 QB behind Bo Nix, despite rumors swirling about Sam Ehlinger’s potential rise — Payton made it clear: Stidham’s the backup. A veteran of multiple teams including the Patriots and Raiders, Stidham brought grit last season stepping in for Russell Wilson in two games, even if his playoff outing against the Patriots was brutal. Now on a $12M deal, he’s still viewed as a reliable backup — teams eyed him for trade, but Denver kept him. Meanwhile, Ehlinger, who didn’t play a snap last year, re-signed with Denver, turned down other offers, and even made the active roster this past Sunday — proving loyalty might be more valuable than stats right now.
