Denver Broncos 2024 Season Preview

Russell Wilson is cooking in Pittsburgh now, so it’s Bo Nix time at quarterback for Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos. They took the Oregon Ducks quarterback with the 12th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. Then they turned around and took his favorite target in college, the fourth-round wide receiver Troy Franklin. For as much as it seemed like the Broncos struggled last year, they were just a game under .500. Zach Wilson is a capable starter if Nix isn’t ready yet. Jared Stidham is also with the team.

While their key departures list is short, it was definitely impactful. Russell Wilson is a big loss, and so is Jerry Jeudy. This should make Cartland Sutton the undisputed number one target. Josh Reynolds will likely see a lot of playing time, and rookie Troy Franklin will be expected to produce as well.

Sean Payton could be the biggest difference-maker for this team. The head coach has proven he can get it done in New Orleans and now he’s got his guy at quarterback in Bo Nix. Payton’s coaching edge could be what pushes this team over the edge and makes them a contender.

Defensive Woes Abound for Denver Broncos

In 2023, few defenses were worse than the Denver Broncos. Thankfully, their offense was pretty terrible too. Sean Payton is attempting to prove that he can be successful without Drew Brees, but Nix, Wilson, and Stidham are not Brees. Add in a mediocre receiving corps, and the Broncos’ defense will have to carry a massive load in 2024. If 2023 was a preview of things to come, the 2024 season will be a long one for Denver Broncos fans as well. With a Swiss cheese defense that was shredded all season, Denver will be hard-pressed to win many games.
