Zach Wilson wasn't impressive with the Denver Broncos starters on Tuesday, but Sean Payton doesn't sound worried.
, the young veteran quarterback is still settling in. Broncos head coach Sean Payton has given Wilson equal bites at the first-team apple, rotating with rookie first-rounder Bo Nix and incumbent Jarrett Stidham.
Up until Tuesday, every Broncos OTA practice open to the media just happened to be Nix's day to run with the first-team offense — a total coincidence according to Payton. However, it was Wilson's turn with the ones on Tuesday and he seemed to struggle, according to those who observed the practice, like"Not a great day for Zach Wilson today," Mason tweeted. He wasn't alone in his assessment of Wilson's day at the office.
The absence of a football language barrier should, in theory, accelerate Wilson's assimilation of Payton's scheme. But it's not even half the battle for a quarterback.

For his part, Wilson is on the books this year with a $1.05M salary, but the Jets reportedly will pay "" of it. On one hand, that makes him more expendable, while on the other, he'd be a backup QB bargain if he acquits himself well this summer.
