This team may have solved their quarterback issue, but other holes remain.
So what’s next for general manager George Paton? Free agency and the draft. The Broncos created roughly $8 million in cap space by trading quarterback Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant and defensive end Shelby Harris to the Seahawks. Wilson is currently due to count $24 million against the cap.
In-house, tight end Eric Saubert is scheduled to become a free agent and Paton said last week the Broncos had talked to his agents. He would fill the blocking tight end role, but a pass-catcher to join Albert Okwuegbunam is required. What will be interesting is if Wilson, like Peyton Manning during his Broncos career, can be effective in recruiting veterans to join the organization.The Broncos shipped first- and second-round picks in 2022-23 and a 2022 fifth-round selection to Seattle for Wilson and a fourth-round pick this year.
