Who are some under the radar quarterback options for the Denver Broncos if they team cannot acquire a significant upgrade at the position?

As each day passes and as we get closer to the beginning of free agency, I become less and less convinced that the Denver Broncos are going to be able to swing a trade for a significant quarterback.

Seattle apparently has no interest in trading Russell Wilson, and the Packers have been working on a short-term deal for Aaron Rodgers if he decides to stay.

I think there are some in Broncos Country who are beginning to realize that neither Rodgers nor Wilson is a viable target for the team anymore.

Those players have clearly been the top prizes for this offseason, but there are other options, right?

Well, Kirk Cousins is staying put in Minnesota, so Denver may have to settle for trading for Jimmy Garoppolo or Carson Wentz.

If they don’t like either of those options, they can turn to the free agent market and grab someone like Mitchell Trubisky or Jameis Winston.

However, both of those players are going to have a significant market in a couple of weeks, so Denver might not be able to sign either of those players.

Who is left?  This upcoming quarterback draft class is on the weaker side, so it’s hard to justify selecting one with the 9th overall pick.

The Denver Broncos do not have time to rebuild, so are there any other in-league options for the team to consider?
