1. Trevor Siemian, quarterback

Trevor SiemianFrom starting quarterback of a team looking to defend its Super Bowl title, to a free agent; that’s the life of an NFL player. Reports indicate that the Broncos are in the driver’s seat an to land Tony Romo should the Dallas Cowboys release him. Denver could “move on from” Siemian should this happen.

With Romo penciled in as the short-term starting quarterback for a team with a closing Super Bowl window, Paxton Lynch would then be the team’s future starter as he learns behind Romo.

Even if Romo were to get injured, the Broncos would be able to better evaluate Lynch’s progress if he were to step in right away.
