Denver Broncos: How to fix the team for the long-term future

3. Go all in for a Quarterback

I don’t care how much it costs.  I don’t care if the Denver Broncos have to give him keys to the city or an ownership stake.  The Broncos need a viable franchise quarterback on the roster.

Aaron Rodgers still may want out of Green Bay, and we saw how much smoke there was during the offseason in him potentially coming to Denver.  We don’t need to get into that side of things.

Acquiring Aaron Rodgers instantly makes this offense one of the better ones in the league.  He’s the most talented quarterback to play the game and has shown no signs of slowing down, winning MVP last season.

Aaron Rodgers might be the top prize, but another guy who might become available is Russell Wilson.

It was reported earlier that Russ and Seattle may be heading towards a divorce if they don’t have the success this year that they want, and at 2-4, Seattle is currently on pace to do absolutely nothing this year.

If Wilson becomes available, the Broncos should offer whatever it takes to acquire his services.

Russell Wilson is already a first-ballot Hall of Famer, and just now, in year 10, is missing the first games of his career.

Wilson is durable, an excellent passer, and would give the Broncos a dynamic offense.

Russ is probably my top choice, seeing as he’s considerably younger than Rodgers, but I wouldn’t be picky with either.

Other names that could be available in the offseason are Kirk Cousins or Matt Ryan, and while I wouldn’t hate either, I’m not sure they could give us more than efficient quarterback play.  Neither has really been able to will their team to victory like the former two I mentioned.

I think Teddy Bridgewater is a fine quarterback, but he’s not a franchise guy and not someone the Broncos can count on for the long-term.
