Even though Bo Nix has only been in the NFL for two seasons, many believe that he\u2019s already proven his potential to become the next big thing in the AFC. If it wasn\u2019t for a freak bone break during the final moments of the Denver Broncos\u2019 upset win over the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional round of the playoffs, then he probably would have already been deemed as such.<\/p>\n
For better or worse, however, the franchise now finds itself heading into the third year of Nix\u2019s rookie contract. And even though they\u2019ve managed to win 24 regular-season games and find their first playoff wins of the past decade with him as a starter, one of their former members from the Super Bowl 50 roster,Tyler Polumbus<\/a>, is begging the franchise to \u201cstop wasting Bo Nix\u2019s rookie deal.\u201d<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve got your quarterback in a cost-controlled situation,\u201d Polumbus noted during the most recent episode of his self-produced podcast. \u201cIn just two years, Bo Nix is going to be making $60 million per year, and it\u2019s going to be a very different situation with the cap. It\u2019s very important that you try to capitalize right this minute.\u201d<\/p>\n According to the former offensive tackle, if theBroncos<\/a> are actually hoping to get over the hump and into the title picture, then they are in serious need of some offensive firepower. Thankfully, there seems to be no shortage of big names that are set to be floating around throughout the upcoming free agency period, even if Polumbus believes that there are \u201cno true free agents that are available at this time, that are an upgrade.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou might have to look at actually going out and making a trade,\u201d the eight-year NFL veteran suggested. What does the ideal trade target look like for the Broncos? Apparently, it\u2019s \u201cA.J. Brown, an unhappy camper who is somewhere else that wants to get out of his situation.\u201d<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the holdup on a trade for Brown would most certainly come from the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> rather than the Broncos. Should the Eagles trade their star wide receiver before June 1st, they\u2019d ultimately lose $20 million in cap space.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Transversely, should they wait until afterwards, they\u2019d gain about $7 million in cap space, but waiting that long into the offseason would put the Broncos in a rather tough spot. At that point, they\u2019d likely need to find an alternative wide receiver to ensure themselves if a Brown trade fell through.<\/p>\n Simply put, Brown may be the most popular trade target of the offseason, but the current state of his contract makes the idea of approaching the Eagles a bit too unpalatable for most teams to pull the trigger. So, unless the Broncos are willing to wait around and trust themselves to strike the right agreement with Howie Roseman, then Nix will have to continue to work alongside Courtland Sutton and his cast of supporting characters.<\/p>\n The post \u201cStop Wasting Bo Nix\u2019s Rookie Deal\u201d: Super Bowl 50 Champ Urges Broncos to Trade for Playmakers Like A.J.
