The Denver Broncos are in a great spot right now. They’re out from under Russell Wilson’s contract, and in Sean Payton’s second year, they made the playoffs—even with a rookie quarterback leading the way.

With a young quarterback in Bo Nix, the Denver Broncos' priority is helping him develop into the best player he can be. His progress in year one was incredible, but there is still plenty of room to develop. Head coach Sean Payton has a plan to get the most out of Nix in 2025.

After Denver finished 19th among the NFL’s 32 teams in yards gained during the 2024 season, Broncos coach Sean Payton expressed a desire to add a “joker” to the team’s offense – an athletic running back or tight end whose abilities create a mismatch in the passing game and present a problem in space.
