- Sean Payton says Jarrett Stidham will ‘definitely’ compete for starting QB job
As Denver Broncos fans fret about the team's quarterback situation, coach Sean Payton remains unfazed .
There are only a few veterans still available in free agency , but the Broncos could land a quarterback during the NFL draft in April (perhaps evening by trading up to land a top prospect). And regardless of whether or not Denver drafts a QB, the team still has Jarrett Stidham .

Speaking at the NFL owners meetings in Orlando on Monday, Payton said Stidham will "definitely" compete for the starting job in 2024.
"He's definitely going to compete to be the starter," Payton said, via KUSA-TV's Mike Klis . "I don't think we have a term, 'driver's seat,' really. But he is going to compete for that position. I know he's anxious and excited to do that and I'm sure there will be other candidates that will be competing with him."
Who it is that ends up competing with Stidham remains to be seen.
Payton also said he doesn't think Stidham has hit his ceiling as a QB yet.
There's no guarantee Stidham will be Denver's starter in Week 1, but Payton has essentially guaranteed the QB will have a chance to compete for the starting job this summer. Now we wait to see if that competition will be with a rookie. The 2024 NFL draft will be held in Detroit from April 25-27.
