Staying in Denver Stidham and the Broncos agreed on a two-year, $12 million contract Sunday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.

Impact Stidham will stick around Denver after spending the last two seasons with the team, most recently operating as the top backup option behind Bo Nix in 2024. The 28-year-old did not attempt a pass this past season and he'll likely remain the No. 2 option again in 2025.

Logs four rushes in 2024 Stidham did not attempt a throw across four regular-season games in 2024 but did register four carries for five yards.

Impact Stidham spent the entire 2024 campaign as the Broncos' backup quarterback after losing out to Bo Nix for the starting job during training camp. All of his appearances came in relief and the most snaps he played was in Week 18 against the Chiefs (nine). Stidham is an unrestricted free agent and will likely serve as the QB2 wherever he ends up signing.

Directs scoring drive Sunday Stidham completed two of four passes for 28 yards in Sunday's 38-12 preseason win over the Cardinals.

Impact The 28-year-old was under center for the Broncos' first possession and led them to pay dirt with a 10-play drive that was capped by a three-yard TD plunge by rookie Audric Estime. Stidham appears set as the top backup to 2024 12th overall pick Bo Nix at quarterback, although Zach Wilson's strong performance Sunday after taking over could cause the Denver coaching staff to at least consider a switch in the No. 2 spot.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • DENVERBRONCOS.COM

Officially becomes No. 2 QB Stidham is primed to open the regular season as the top backup to Bo Nix, who coach Sean Payton named the Broncos' starting quarterback Wednesday.

Impact Stidham has been outplayed by Nix, the No. 12 overall pick of April's draft, across two preseason games, so Payton's decision doesn't come as much of a surprise. Nix also boasts ample experience as a collegiate starter, while Stidham's modest arm strength and lack of scrambling potential leave him more comfortable in a reserve role. Barring an injury to Nix, it seems unlikely that Stidham takes the field for Denver this season, though he does seem comfortably ahead of No. 3 quarterback Zach Wilson on the depth chart.

Impact Stidham watched Bo Nix lead Denver's offense to 10 points on the first two drives, then played the next four drives. The 28-year-old quarterback showed toughness on his touchdown run late in the first half, but that play accounted for Denver's only points during Stidham's time in the game, and he proceeded to throw an interception on the first drive of the third quarter. Stidham seems to have fallen behind the rookie Nix in Denver's quarterback competition heading into next Sunday's preseason finale against the Cardinals, though the team has yet to officially declare a starter for the regular season.
