Broncos' Mark Sanchez: Spot on team could be in jeopardy

Sanchez might not make the team if Trevor Siemian earns the starting job and Paxton Lynch proves to be a suitable No. 2, The Denver Post reports.

Analysis:

The rationale makes sense. Siemian and Lynch are almost certain to be on the team - in some order on the depth chart - in 2017 and so if one is capable of starting and one is capable of backing up, it would make sense to move forward with that twosome in 2016, develop the team's young talent at quarterback and save money by cutting Sanchez. The same logic would apply should Lynch come out and earn the starting job with Siemian clearly capable of serving as the back up. Sanchez, who had a hold on the starting job up until a few weeks ago, has moved the ball well in both preseason games, but has also turned the ball over three times - more than Lynch and Siemian combined.
