The Denver Broncos have a quarterback in Drew Lock, but it appears they’re willing to move for a big upgrade if it becomes possible.
According to Troy Renck of Denver7, the Broncos intend to pursue a Deshaun Watson trade if the Houston Texans make him available. Denver is not, however, pursuing Philadelphia’s Carson Wentz.
The Broncos appear to be taking the approach of pursuing a clear upgrade if they see one. Watson would represent that. With Wentz, it’s less clear. If the Broncos were aggressively trying to replace Lock, they’d be looking at names such as Wentz. Instead, they appear willing to stick with Lock for another year unless there’s someone significantly better available.
Watson would have to approve a trade to the Broncos, but there is some thought that he might be willing to do that.
