Denver Broncos Confidence Soars After Promising 2024 Season
The Denver Broncos find themselves in an enviable position as they look to the future with optimism. Following a promising 2024 season, the team is confident they have found the quarterback to lead them for years to come, Bo Nix, who completed 66.3% of his passes for 29 touchdowns and 3,775 yards as a rookie. Nix’s performance earned him a stamp of approval from the team, who believe he is the piece that will bring success back to the franchise.
As the team prepares for the future, they have the flexibility to work more freely with the salary cap due to Nix being on a rookie contract. This allows them to bring in notable free agents or lock up in-house talent to extensions before Nix is eligible for an extension.
“We’ve found the guy that can lead us and be what we need relative to having the success we’re used to having,” said head coach Sean Payton. “I think we’ve found it.”
Quarterback Paton and General Manager George Paton also echoed their support for Nix, citing his physical and mental traits as well as his work ethic as reasons why they believe he has the potential to be a great quarterback. Paton described Nix as a “splendid fit” and emphasized the importance of building around him and finding the right players to complement him.
As the Broncos look ahead, they are united in their belief that they have found the quarterback to build around and are focused on improvement and finding the right supporting cast to help Nix succeed. With a promising rookie season behind him, the team is eager to see how Nix will perform in his sophomore year and build on his momentum.
