The Denver Broncos made a change to their quarterback room this week, bringing in Jeff Driskel to serve as the new backup quarterback. With Driskel now backing up Drew Lock, Denver is expected to trade or release veteran Joe Flacco later this week.
Driskel is a 26-year-old quarterback with four years of experience in the NFL. Terms of his contract with the Broncos are not yet known but he will undoubtedly be much cheaper than Flacco’s $23.65 million cap hit in 2020.
Driskel started five games for the Cincinnati Bengals in 2018 and three games for the Detroit Lions in 2019. He has a 1-7 win-loss record in the NFL. With the Bengals, Driskel completed 59.7 percent of his passes 1,003 for six touchdown passes against two interceptions.
With the Lions, Driskel completed 59 percent of his passes for 685 yards with four touchdowns against four interceptions. He has also rushed 47 times for 281 yards and three touchdowns in the NFL.
