NFL Trade Rumor: Denver Broncos could make bold quarterback move with former $3M Los Angeles Rams star amid Bo Nix recovery concerns

The Denver Broncos were a force to be reckoned with in the last season as the team recorded their first AFC West title and the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC since 2015.With 14 wins and 3 losses, the team faced a brutal heartbreak when the Denver Broncos ended up losing to the New England Patriots in the Divisional Round. Ahead of the new season, it seems the team is now being linked to a popular quarterback.A few hours ago, Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar predicted that the 34 year old quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo, could serve as an impactful addition to the Denver Broncos.Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar noted in a recent report, “Broncos quarterback Bo Nix wasn't able to play in their loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game due to a fractured right ankle that required surgery.”Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar added, “While Nix is still expected to be ready for the start of the 2026 season after undergoing a recent clean-up procedure on his ankle, it would be understandable if Denver takes a cautious approach with the 26-year-old's recovery.”Bleacher Report’s Zach Bachar continued, “Jarrett Stidham remains the Broncos' backup quarterback after starting in the AFC Championship Game, but he struggled in the defeat against New England…Garoppolo could serve as a battle-tested reserve with six career playoff starts under his belt.”However, the Denver Broncos have stayed away from officially weighing in on offering a deal to popular quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo.The 34 year old quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo’s potential addition to the Denver Broncos has sparked a debate, considering his decline in form and a few controversial issues he has found himself in.Back in the 2024 season, Jimmy Garoppolo faced a suspension from the first two games of the season violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.Over the last two seasons, Jimmy Garoppolo played in only 4 matches as a backup for the Los Angeles Rams. Across the 4 games, he recorded 27 completions on 41 pass attempts for 334 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, and 1 interception.Interestingly, as per NFL Network, there are strong rumors suggesting that Jimmy Garoppolo might also announce his retirement soon.However, nothing has been confirmed yet as many await for Jimmy Garoppolo to bounce back on the field in the new season.
