The Denver Broncos are hosting big workouts next week in hopes of locating some free agents with potential, and one name that is headed to Denver is sure to turn some heads.

According to Buffalo Bills' writer Ryan Talbot, the Broncos have scheduled former Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman to work out for them, and could potentially sign the second-year quarterback to a future contract. The Broncos currently have Kevin Hogan backing up Case Keenum and also have Garrett Grayson on their practice squad, but seem to be looking to add to that list.

Peterman was released earlier this month, after recently-signed backup quarterback Matt Barkley completed 60% of his passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns while leading the Bills to a blowout victory over the New York Jets.

The former fifth-round pick out of the University of Pittsburgh started Week 1 for the Bills, but completed just 5-of-18 passes for 24 yards and two interceptions in a 47-3 blowout loss handed to them by the Baltimore Ravens. Peterman then lost his job as the starter, but again saw action in Week 6.

New starting quarterback Josh Allen was injured against the Houston Texans, so Peterman was sent in for relief. He struggled however, throwing for just 61 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Heading into Week 7, Bills coach Sean McDermott was facing a conundrum with who to start under center with Allen out. He elected for the recently-signed veteran Derek Anderson instead of Peterman, but Anderson struggled to find success in the Bills offense as well. In his first two starts, he recorded four interceptions and zero touchdowns.

Anderson suffered a concussion in Week 8 during a matchup with the New England Patriots, so once again, it was Peterman time in Buffalo — and once again, it was a disaster.

Peterman completed 31-of-49 passes for 188 yards and three interceptions in a 41-9 blowout loss to the Chicago Bears. He was again benched, and the keys to the Bills offense were handed to Barkley, who led the Bills to their first victory in five games.

A GoFundMe had even surfaced that pled for Peterman to retire, as Bills fans had completely given up all hope in him. Just over a week before deciding to cut Peterman, coach McDermott stated that he still had faith in the young quarterback. When asked after his miserable performance against the Bears if he still believes that Peterman can be an NFL quarterback, he replied: "I believe he is."

We will see if he can impress the Broncos enough to win a contract, but this is an interesting name to host in Denver nonetheless. Peterman is still a young quarterback that could develop into a legitimate NFL player with the right coaching, but with the way his career has started, it appears that many have given up on him.
