Jarrett Stidham reacts to Broncos' interest in Drew Brees

Jarrett Stidham commented on a report that the Denver Broncos considered reaching out to Drew Brees to fill in as quarterback during the AFC Championship game last season. Stidham, who started in place of the injured Bo Nix, said he was surprised to learn of the interest in Brees, noting the retired quarterback's absence from the game for five years. Despite two turnovers leading to a loss against the New England Patriots, Stidham said he was not offended by the team's consideration of other options. With Brees opting not to play due to injuries, Stidham has returned as the Broncos' backup quarterback this season under Coach Sean Payton.
