NFL 2018: One roster cut each team should make, but won’t

Denver Broncos: Paxton Lynch

Since Peyton Manning decided to call it a career a few years ago, finding the next quarterback to build the franchise around has been a difficult task for the Denver Broncos after failed attempts with players like Trevor Siemian and Brock Osweiler. Hopefully, Denver’s luck is about to change in 2018 after landing one of the top free agents available at quarterback in Case Keenum, although it’s still kind of frustrating to see how the whole Paxton Lynch situation is turning out to be.

Using a first-round pick on the former Memphis standout back in 2016 made Denver feel confident enough in Lynch being worth the investment. But after two seasons of failing to impress along with a recent preseason that can only be described as a disaster, talk is beginning to heat up about Lynch’s time with the Broncos coming to an end sooner rather than later.

Chad Kelly has shown potential over the last couple of weeks when it comes to earning the backup role to Keenum, but also nobody would be surprised if Denver decided to hang on to Lynch just in case. Having a backup quarterback to rely on can be difficult sometimes at the NFL level, and it’s a shame to see Lynch fail to live up to the hype so far when looking at previous expectations.
