After Friday’s practice session, Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton was asked about the possibility of moving one of the team’s backup quarterbacks — either Jarrett Stidham or Zach Wilson — ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline.
Payton’s answer seemed to imply that one team had already reached out, but the talks were very preliminary.
“George [Paton] would be the better one to ask, but we’ll get teasers,” Payton said. “You know, a team a couple weeks ago [says], ‘Hey.’ Not even (waves hand) — and then, you know. When there’s a call that is somewhat substantial, it’s still like the beginning process. ‘Hey, this is what we might [offer],’ and then — we’re two weeks away.
“George and I will talk about it each day, but we’re focused on this [game] right now. I understand [the questions about it], and yet, it’s pretty normal. There’s a group of teams shopping a certain list of players. Some teams are easier to do a deal with maybe than others, but right now, I like where we’re at with this group.”
