2. Denver Broncos

With the combination of a diminished Peyton Manning and the now exposed Brock Osweiler under center, the Broncos won a lot of games in 2015 and then won Super Bowl 50. Trevor Siemian has had some good moments in his first season as a starter, but there is clearly growing division in the ranks after Denver’s especially poor offensive showing against the New England Patriots on Sunday. At 8-6 after that loss, the Broncos face an uphill climb to make the playoffs.

The Broncos are almost sure to be in the market for a proven veteran quarterback next offseason, with Tony Romo likely on their radar if and when he parts ways with the Dallas Cowboys. But Brees would also become a very viable option if he’s made available, and much like with Manning that possible pursuit would be driven by Broncos’ general manager John Elway.

Brees would find a lot to like in Denver, with a top-tier defense and a couple very capable wide receivers in place (Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders). Winning a second Super Bowl ring is likely a priority for Brees as his career winds down, and the best chance to do it as soon as next season may be in the Mile High city.
