The Broncos are working the phones and trying to trade Mark Sanchez, according to Mike Florio of PFT (on Twitter). If they do not find a taker, Sanchez could be cut today or tomorrow.
Of course, this comes on the heels of the Broncos’ announcement that Trevor Siemian will be the team’s starter for Week 1 of the regular season. With Siemian established as the quarterback of the present and rookie Paxton Lynch as the QB of the future, Sanchez is without a real place on the Broncos’ depth chart after an uninspiring summer.
The Broncos traded for Sanchez this spring as a Plan B in case they were unable to re-sign Brock Osweiler or bring in an established veteran at QB. Denver did not retain Osweiler or land a vet, but Sanchez was unable to win the starting job or even secure the No. 2 role.

Dallas is calling.
Dallas doesn’t want him
Maybe a semi pro team will take him if they still pay him and send some equipment with him along with some balls. I was surprised Elway was going into the season with this guy close to being in contention for the starting job has to make Bronco fans wonder why he couldn’t find anything close to resembling an NFL caliber QB.
Wouldn’t be a terrible choice for a #3 in Pittsburgh. It’s not like Landry Jones lights the world on fire and Ben usually misses a couple games a year.
