Broncos should pray that Adam Schefter's bold trade idea comes true

The Denver Broncos may have had pretty high hopes for former New York Jets prospect Zach Wilson when they rolled the dice on him, but it looks like playing time will be difficult to come by. Bo Nix is ​​the franchise quarterback and veteran Jarrett Stidham appears to have won the backup job.

While Denver's quarterback depth chart appears to be pretty much set in stone, the Miami Dolphins are a team in complete flux right now. Tua Tgaovailoa's concussion injury has forced them to rotate three different quarterbacks, and Week 4 isn't even here yet.

ESPN's Adam Schefter tried to play armchair general manager after the loss to the Seattle Seahawks, suggesting three quarterbacks who could be trade targets for Miami. One of them was preseason star Wilson, who has been collecting dust behind Nix on Denver's bench.

The Broncos should hope Miami is desperate enough to take a chance on Wilson. Not only could Denver get some valuable draft picks back at a time when they need as many impactful playmakers as possible, but it could also bankrupt Miami in 2024 if they make that move.

Is there anyone better suited to Miami's offense, which relies more on precise timing and accuracy than any other system in the league, than Wilson, who has consistently struggled with both of those things during his three seasons in the league? The Broncos clearly have no plans to use him, so why not give in to the Dolphins?

Miami might even be willing to pay a higher price than most for a player like Wilson. Tagovailoa's unfortunate injury and their baffling decision to go with a combination of Skylar Thompson and Tim Boyle as the team's backups this year make the need for a quarterback even more pressing.

While Nix had a rollercoaster ride in his first few games, the Broncos appear determined to overcome this thanks to Nix's playmaking ability. Wilson had outbursts. But they were so rare in New York that Sean Payton won't tolerate them in Denver.

Unless the Broncos believe Wilson is a better option than Stidham in his fourth season, they likely won't keep him as part of their long-term prospect. Wilson's revival, if at all possible, could be left to Miami. Judging by his play so far, things are looking up for Wilson.
