2. Denver Broncos

Last season, the Broncos proved they didn’t need good quarterback play on their way to winning Super Bowl 50. Peyton Manning’s retirement and a decision to not to give Brock Osweiler a big contract left them with two mediocre options (Mark Sanchez, Trevor Siemian) and a rookie (Paxton Lynch) as starting options under center, and Siemian won the job out of training camp.

Siemian started this season well enough, as Denver started 4-0, but since a shoulder injury cost him a game in Week 5, his level of play has fallen off. The defense has also shown chinks in its armor lately, due in part to injuries, so the Broncos’ formula for success from a year ago is not being replicated especially well right now.

The Broncos drew a financial line in the sand with Osweiler, which in hindsight looks like a great decision by John Elway. Lynch may be ready to start next season, and Siemian should be back in some capacity no matter how he does over the rest of this season. But trading for Romo could become an intriguing idea for Elway looking toward the 2017 season, and the Broncos can give Romo a chance to win a Super Bowl before his career is over.
