In a surprising move, Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton has made a bold quarterback change, naming Will Grier as the team’s new starting quarterback in place of Jarrett Stidham. The decision comes as the Broncos continue to search for consistency at the quarterback position amid ongoing struggles on offense.
Grier, a former third-round pick, has impressed the coaching staff with his poise, strong arm, and ability to manage the game efficiently. With the team looking for a spark, Payton believes Grier could provide the leadership and playmaking ability needed to help turn things around.
“This was not an easy decision, but it’s one we believe is in the best interest of the team,” Payton said. “Will has shown tremendous growth, and we feel he gives us the best chance to succeed moving forward.”
Stidham, who had been filling in as the starter, struggled to generate consistent offensive production, prompting Payton to make the switch. The move signals the Broncos’ urgency to find stability under center as they push to remain competitive in a tough AFC West.
Grier will now step into a high-pressure situation with a chance to prove himself as a long-term option for the Broncos. With key matchups ahead, all eyes will be on how the quarterback transition impacts the team’s performance.
