Drew Lock's future uncertain with Denver's trade for Teddy Bridgewater

Drew Lock is officially on alert.

The Denver Broncos were expected to be a player in the quarterback market during this week's NFL draft, but they addressed that position with a trade Wednesday, acquiring former Pro Bowl QB Teddy Bridgewater from Carolina for a sixth-round draft pick. Bridgewater, 28, has started 49 career games over six seasons in Minnesota, New Orleans and Carolina and thrown 53 touchdowns and for more than 11,000 yards. He posted career-high figures last season for passing yards (3,733) and passing touchdowns (15).

Denver could still use the No. 9 pick in Thursday's NFL draft on a quarterback - Ohio State's Justin Fields or North Dakota State's Trey Lance? - but could address other needs and stand pat with a training camp competition between Bridgewater and Lock, a 2019 second-round choice from Mizzou. Lock, 24, started 13 games last fall, completing 57.3% of his throws for 2,933 yards, 16 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
