Ex-Broncos quarterback letting NFL teams know he can ‘still rip it’

As teams go full force into Tuesday's NFL trade deadline, at least one free agent, an ex-Denver Broncos quarterback is seeing an opportunity to shop his own wares around the league.

With the NFL starting an alarming number of backup quarterbacks in Week 9, ex-Bronco Ben DiNucci is trying to wiggle his way back onto a roster as the season gets deeper into the thick of playoff races.

DiNucci entered the chat in response to NFL insider Ian Rapoport reporting that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Gardner Minshew could miss the rest of the season with an elbow injury suffered during a 17-3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks.

DiNucci, of course, is known for his emergency signing by Denver after starter Bo Nix fractured his ankle in the AFC divisional game.

"Hey @AZCardinals," wrote DiNucci. "I weigh 190 pounds but gosh can I still rip it(.) Attaching flag football highlights for reference."

DiNucci also sent an identical message to the Minnesota Vikings, who had a dismal showing from veteran Carson Wentz on Monday Night Football and are now seeking to upgrade the position.

Although the Cardinals have not seemed to reach out to DiNucci yet, they did however, sign another former Broncos backup quarterback on Monday in Josh Johnson. The journeyman backup was QB3 in Denver in 2022, and is now playing for his 15th NFL team of his career.

NFL insider Adam Schefter reported on Tuesday morning that the Vikings are shopping around for a quarterback before the 4:00 p.m. ET trade deadline, and it seems fair to wonder if they might call about Broncos backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham.

While it's still early, the Broncos are surely making some very important calls to other teams in preparation for a playoff run.

We will continue to have all the news and updates leading up to the trade deadline on Broncos Wire.
