Stidham faces pressure from Ehlinger despite Payton's confidence and system knowledge
Jarrett StidhamQB
Stidham is the incumbent Broncos backup QB, re-signed to a two-year, $12 million deal in 2025 and has been the backup since Sean Payton was hired. He has system knowledge and Payton's confidence, as evidenced by Payton's first free agent signing being Stidham. However, Stidham had a rough showing in the AFC Championship Game, and with Ehlinger now in year two of the system and playing well in OTAs/minicamp, there is pressure on the veteran backup. The source believes Stidham will likely retain the QB2 role unless Ehlinger obviously outplays him, but acknowledges a competitive battle is possible throughout training camp and preseason.
