Colin Cowherd says Broncos can’t give Bo Nix a contract extension
Broncos quarterback Bo Nix is eligible for a contract extension following the 2026 NFL season, but Colin Cowherd is against that move.
The Denver Broncos are currently sitting at a 3-2 record after a 23-17 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. While fans may have been content with the initial six-week performance, the team's unimpressive offense has drawn concern. Quarterback Bo Nix appears to be the main issue, with his play being the primary factor behind the Broncos' struggles on the field, rather than the play-calling.
Beyond the season, the Broncos face a significant decision regarding Nix's future. Colin Cowherd, host of The Herd on FS1, believes the team should not extend Nix's contract. Cowherd argues that the Broncos should allow the season to play out and start planning for Nix's replacement. Cowherd points out that Nix's first-quarter passer rating is lower than that of Cam Ward, who is already considered a bust.
He suggests that the Broncos should begin preparing for Nix's replacement, as pass the season may turn out.
