Although Bo Nix is undoubtedly the Denver Broncos’ franchise quarterback, it’s unclear if the 26-year-old quarterback will be ready to go when Week 1 of the 2026-27 season comes around.
Nix broke his ankle against the Buffalo Bills in last year’s AFC Divisional round clash, forcing him to miss the rest of the season. According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, there’s a chance Denver could sign a four-time MVP quarterback to serve as a temporary injury replacement for Nix.
“There’s talk of the Broncos possibly bringing (Aaron) Rodgers in for a visit,” Florio wrote Wednesday. “The motivation comes from the possibility that current starter Bo Nix won’t be fully and completely back to 100 percent when Week 1 rolls around.”
“Five years ago, then- (Green Bay) Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers hijacked (perhaps not intentionally) the draft-day news cycle with word that the (San Francisco) 49ers nearly traded for him. It prompted speculation throughout round one of the 2021 draft that a trade could happen, with the Broncos emerging as a potential candidate.”
Rodgers’ future in the NFL is up in the air in early April. The 42-year-old signal caller competed with the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, and there’s a strong belief that he could feel compelled to return to Pittsburgh for another campaign.
That said, there’s also a possibility that the former Packers star could sign with another organization or retire from the NFL after an incredible career.
If Rodgers agrees to play another NFL season and joins the Broncos, Denver will receive a future Hall of Famer, who, despite losing his patented mobility to escape collapsing pockets, can still sling it with the best of them.
Rodgers finished the 2025-26 season with 3,322 passing yards, 24 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 16 games. Needless to say, Rodgers is more than capable of keeping the Broncos’ head above water if Nix misses the start of the upcoming season.
