Denver Broncos coach Sean Payton tried to prevent the Las Vegas Raiders from trading up for quarterback Bo Nix in the 2024 NFL Draft.
In the months leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, there was much speculation that the Las Vegas Raiders would look for their franchise quarterback in the draft.
Had their bitter division rivals, the Denver Broncos, not picked quarterback Bo Nix at no. 12, Las Vegas could have very well chosen to take the Heisman Trophy finalist instead of tight end Brock Bowers. Payton wanted the Raiders to believe the Broncos were thinking of trading back, with the hope that Las Vegas would halt any attempt at trading up for Nix.
Many fans believe the Raiders picked their poison with this recent quarterback competition, and most of those fans were likely the ones calling for Las Vegas to find its QB1 in the draft.
