The wildcard (IMO) is Penix. He looks like the QB Payton wants (accurate, excels at reading defenses), but his injury history is scary. Payton did take the injury risk with Brees...

If Wilson keeps playing at a solid level, I think there's almost no chance they cut him after this season. Not only would they eat a huge sum in dead cap money, but it would be an admission that the trade was a massive disaster. I'm betting they're going to give Wilson every opportunity to justify that trade. Especially as long as Paton is there.
What are the odds of Williams being able to outproduce Wilson next year anyway? Especially after they've traded Jeudy and/or other weapons, with no cap space to sign any proven players.
That's what's so shitty about the Broncos' situation (and hilarious from a KC perspective). You went into this season thinking that one of your biggest weaknesses was at QB, and it's turned out to be the biggest strength. Replacing Wilson (even with Williams) could very easily make the Broncos worse the next year or two.
