Nathan Peterman Books Broncos Tryout

Nathan Peterman is best known for some rough performances as a Bills starter, but the veteran quarterback has managed a long career as a reserve option. The experienced quarterback has secured another opportunity.

Although Peterman was out of the NFL last season, 9News’ Mike Klis notes he secured a tryout at the Broncos’ rookie minicamp this weekend. The Broncos return their top three QBs from 2025, having re-signed third-stringer Sam Ehlinger, but recent Bo Nix news points to Denver needing a third healthy option for its offseason program.

Nix underwent a follow-up ankle procedure recently and likely will not be full go until training camp. Limited OTAs participation appears on tap for Denver’s starter, putting Jarrett Stidham in position to take first-team reps in spring workouts. Peterman, 32, was last with the Falcons, who carried him on their practice squad throughout the 2024 season.

The 2017 fifth-round pick has been with five teams in his career. The Raiders, Bears and Saints also rostered him at points. Sean Payton was not in New Orleans during Peterman’s cameo with the team (during the 2024 offseason). The Broncos have not officially announced their UDFA class, but no QBs are believed to be part of that group. Thus, Peterman will have a chance to work at the team’s rookie camp soon.
