Denver Broncos consider Spencer Rattler as potential backup QB

The Denver Broncos are exploring options for a new backup quarterback, focusing on Spencer Rattler from the New Orleans Saints. Last postseason, starting QB Bo Nix suffered a fractured ankle, leading to a disappointing performance by backup Jarrett Stidham in a critical playoff game. The Broncos have not made any moves to strengthen their QB depth since then, with Nix, Stidham, and Sam Ehlinger still on the roster. Rattler, who has experience but struggled in his time with the Saints, could potentially fill a significant role with Denver, especially given his ties to Broncos coach Sean Payton. An official trade has not yet occurred.
