Denver Broncos most likely QB rooms in 2021.

In what seems like a never-ending cycle, the Denver Broncos are yet again facing uncertainties at the quarterback position. Drew Lock has struggled this year, and whether you are a “Lock hater” or not, it is easy to see his shortcomings on the gridiron.

Lock’s struggles this year have sparked yet another quarterback controversy in the Mile High City, with many people calling for Lock to be benched or for the team to move on from the second-year signal-caller.

I could spend the next 1,000 words giving reasons and proof as to why we are seeing Lock struggle in what many expected to be his coming-out party, but this article will be focused on ranking the most likely quarterback rooms for the Denver Broncos in 2021. John Elway was active in the free agency period last offseason, and the current roster may allow him to be active once again.

With the league-wide salary cap set to potentially decrease, the Broncos, like every other team in the league, will simply not have as much cap space as past years, so it is reasonable to expect a mostly quiet free agency period. However, there still remains a chance that notable players can be traded, specifically quarterbacks.

Many talking heads around the league might predict or expect the Broncos to try and upgrade at the quarterback position this offseason. While this is fair to say, nobody knows what General Manager John Elway has up his sleeve.

Here is a list ranking the most to least likely quarterback room scenarios for the Denver Broncos in 2021.
