Jarrett Stidham to Remain Broncos' Starting Quarterback, Russell Wilson Benched

Financial considerations reportedly influence decision, raising questions about Wilson's future with the team.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton confirmed Jarrett Stidham will remain the starting quarterback for the final game against the Las Vegas Raiders, with Russell Wilson serving as QB2.
Stidham led Denver to a 16-9 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, throwing for 224 yards and a touchdown.
The decision to bench Wilson has been contentious, with reports suggesting financial reasons, including a $37 million vesting option that's guaranteed for injury, are driving the decision.
Wilson's performance has improved this season, throwing for 3,070 yards, 26 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 15 games.
Stidham's start in the final game may signal the end of Wilson's tenure in Denver, despite him signing a five-year, $242.6 million contract last year.
