For now, Trevor Siemian is the Broncos’ starting quarterback.

Whether it’s an in-season switch or a switch made next offseason, rookie quarterback Paxton Lynch is expected to take over at some point in Denver. Whenever he does get the nod, he will be surrounded by talent.

Experienced playmakers make it easier for an inexperienced quarterback to have success. Thanks to offseason negotiating from general manager John Elway, Siemian and Lynch will be poised for success right away.

Earlier this summer, Elway signed running back C.J. Anderson to a four-year deal that will expire after the 2019 season. Rookie running back Devontae Booker also has a four-year deal. That’s one Pro Bowler and one promising rookie to hand the ball off to.

At receiver, there’s Demaryius Thomas, who is also under contract through the 2019 season. Fellow Pro Bowl receiver Emmanuel Sanders is also locked up for the next four years after signing an extension on Wednesday.

Russell Okung will be protecting the quarterback’s blindside. He’s locked up through the 2020 season, the same year Lynch’s rookie deal will come to an end.

A lot can happen between now and 2020, but based on the past performances of players like Thomas, Sanders and Anderson, it’s safe to assume that Denver’s quarterback will have playmakers all around him. Siemian and Lynch can thank Elway for that.
