The Denver Broncos have emerged as one of the quiet winners of the latest quarterback shakeup across the NFL — and it all centers around the continued rise of Bo Nix and the stability the team has built around him heading into the 2025 season.
Amid a flurry of offseason quarterback moves — including trades, free agent signings, and injuries affecting several AFC rivals — the Broncos are staying put with their plan, and it’s paying off. Reports from Denver’s minicamp indicate that Nix is looking more comfortable, more confident, and more in command than ever before.
“It’s a lot more enjoyable when you’re not thinking about every play,” Nix told reporters. “Now I know the system, I can just play ball. And that’s fun.”
After a promising rookie season in 2024 — throwing for 3,775 yards, 29 touchdowns, and just 9 interceptions — Nix is building on that momentum. His grasp of Sean Payton’s system has deepened, and the Broncos’ front office has surrounded him with a strong support system, including reliable veteran backup Jarrett Stidham and recent signing Sam Ehlinger, both of whom give the team added depth and security at the position.
Meanwhile, other AFC teams are dealing with turmoil at quarterback. Injuries, retirements, and contract holdouts have created instability in places like New England, Tennessee, and Las Vegas — all teams the Broncos could compete with for a playoff spot. Denver’s consistency at QB now stands out as a major advantage.
Head coach Sean Payton praised Nix’s development, stating:
“You can see the growth. He’s taken ownership of the huddle. He knows where to go with the ball. That’s what you want in your quarterback.”
This offseason has also seen a shift in locker room dynamics. Veterans are rallying behind Nix, calling him a “natural leader” and praising his poise and preparation. What once was a position of chaos for the Broncos has become a clear foundation.
The Broncos are not only confident in their young quarterback — they’re thriving because of him. While other teams scramble to fill or fix their QB situations, Denver enters the 2025 season with clarity, chemistry, and a rising star at the helm.
In a league where quarterback stability is gold, the Broncos may have struck it rich with Bo Nix.
