Maligned after another shaky training camp and a mostly unimpressive preseason, Paxton Lynch was considered a possibility to be cut prior to what would be his third season in Denver.
The Broncos, however, will not sever ties with their 2016 first-round pick just yet. Although the team will look at other quarterbacks being jettisoned this weekend, they plan to keep Lynch on their 53-man roster, Mike Klis of 9News tweets.
Lynch played well in the Broncos’ fourth preseason game, but he was quickly demoted to the No. 3 QB job this preseason. Chad Kelly remains the Broncos’ backup, and this points to the team being satisfied enough with the 2017 seventh-rounder’s play to place him as Case Keenum‘s primary backup this season.
It would have cost the Broncos more than $4MM to waive Lynch.
if we get another QB, I wonder if he would be traded or cut then.
If Elway didn’t select this guy with their 1st round pick he would be gone.
This is just Elway not wanting to admit he was wrong about the guy. Terrible pick. Let him go and move on.
Tim Tebow to the rescue….lol
Broncos fans might hate him but had he been cut half the league would be scrambling to sign him.
I doubt Case Keenum even come sclose to replicating last season. Totally expect to see Lynch start a few games
You misspelled “Kelly”
