Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton looks off during the first half of the game at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver on Dec. 24, 2023. The Denver Broncos took on the New England Patriots during week 16 of 2023 NFL season. As Broncos coach Sean Payton made the Super Bowl radio row rounds in Las Vegas last month, he entertained a lighthearted question about the game’s foremost position.

Unless he signs an extension with the Bucs by Monday afternoon, he’ll be easy to find for Payton or any other NFL team that wishes to talk with him. The NFL’s legal tampering period — and, thus, free agency — begins at 2 p.m. Monday, and then the 2024 league year officially begins 2 p.m. Wednesday. In reality, it’s not just one choice. It began with informing Wilson of his release. It also likely includes bringing Jarrett Stidham back, though it remains to be seen whether Denver will like the $7 million cap number he currently carries. Then perhaps a draft pick.The question is more about whether Denver will try to play in the quarterback middle market — think Mayfield or Kirk Cousins — or if they’ll troll the less expensive options looking for somebody in whom they see upside.

The NFL saw 25 tight ends catch more passes than Denver’s entire group combined and it’s a position Payton values. Trautman is a free agent and Chris Manhertz was released Friday. It will be an action spot this offseason. If the Broncos do, indeed, keep Drew Sanders on the edge, then their only experienced ILBs are Alex Singleton and Jonas Griffith, who has missed the past 1.5 seasons due to injuries. They could look to upgrade in athleticism over Jewell.
