The Denver Broncos managed to bring back their QB2 from last season, re-signing Jarrett Stidham on a two-year deal, but they won’t be able to bring back their QB3.
Zach Wilson has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Miami Dolphins. After being an inactive emergency third-string quarterback with the Broncos last fall, Wilson is now expected to serve as the primary backup behind Tua Tagovailoa with the Dolphins.
Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the news on Twitter/X.
After a year in QB rehab with Sean Payton, the perception of Wilson certainly changed. He was really well liked in Denver and the staff really thought he has a chance to become something. https://t.co/0ZdQYwWfD4

Quarterback Zach Wilson now becomes in line to be Tua Tagovailoa’s backup in Miami after he was third string with #Broncos. And considering Tua’s injury history, could end up playing a needed role.

Zach Wilson backing up Tua: I like it man. He was near the top of my QB2 wish list.

Zach Wilson looked good in camp and preseason for Broncos last year but was never more than emergency No. 3 QB for all 18 games that counted.
Better chance to play for Dolphins. https://t.co/dAE0jjo7hh
