The Denver Broncos were loaded with primetime games in 2022 with Russell Wilson and Nathaniel Hackett in town.

Sean Payton and George Paton spoke at the NFL Owners Meetings on Monday. When talking about Javonte Williams’ status for Week 1, Paton was hesitant to say if the Denver Broncos’ starting running back will be ready to return from his injury. If Williams isn’t able to play, will Samaje Perine be able to handle the running back workload? Or will the Broncos have to re-sign Latavius Murray? Or potentially draft a running back. Would a later-round back, such as Deuce Vaughn, be a good addition? Or would a first-round investment in Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs be needed? Could the Broncos trade either Jerry Jeudy or Courtland Sutton to get the draft capital to snag one of those running backs?

Russell Wilson had an additional injury last year that forced him to have arthroscopic surgery this offseason. Does Wilson get a pass for his performance last year? Additionally, the Denver Broncos’ second move of free agency was signing former Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jarrett Stidham to a two-year, $10 million contract. Sean Payton chose Stidham’s talent and potential over other quarterbacks with more experience, such as Baker Mayfield, Andy Dalton and Teddy Bridgewater. Does Payton think Stidham is simply a better backup option for Russell Wilson than the other quarterbacks or does he view the former fourth-round pick to potentially be Denver’s long-term answer at the position? Q Myers of Raider Nation Radio and ESPN Las Vegas joins the show to give insight into Stidham and the Raiders.

Since Sean Payton came to town, there has been a lot of talk about the future of the Denver Broncos’ wide receiver room. There have been rumors reports indicating the Broncos are open to trading Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and/or K.J. Hamler for the right price.

With all of this talk, could Odell Beckham Jr. be in the mix for the Broncos to sign? Additionally, is newly signed punter Riley Dixon a lock to win the starting job over Corliss Waitman? It might not be as much of a lock as you may think.

Sean Payton and George Paton currently have just over $12 million in cap space to work with when NFL free agency kicks off on March 15.

On Vance Joseph’s unit, Denver could free up money by moving on from Ronald Darby, Josey Jewell, K’Waun Williams, Mike Purcell and Jake Martin. Should the Broncos consider it? Additionally, with the Broncos not placing the franchise tag on Dre’Mont Jones, does this mean his time in Denver is over?
