Denver Broncos Finalize 53-Man Roster

The Denver Broncos have finalized their 53-man roster for the 2024 NFL season, featuring a notable youth movement, particularly among undrafted rookies like Frank Crum and Levelle Bailey. Quarterbacks Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham, and Zach Wilson have all made the roster, with Wilson's impressive performance in the preseason solidifying his status as the backup. In the final preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, Wilson threw for 251 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating his potential and experience as a former second overall draft pick. Coach Sean Payton has expressed a desire to retain all three quarterbacks, though Stidham's salary could complicate matters. The Broncos have maintained a trend of including undrafted rookies on their opening roster, with 20 out of the last 21 years featuring at least one. The team's final roster decisions may still be influenced by potential waiver claims following the preseason.
