Many of you, no doubt, are ready to roast me just by reading the headline alone.

But let's don our imagination caps as we explore the land of implausibility.

Assume the Denver Broncos are in fact willing to swallow their pride (and a sizable dead-money hit) to bail on their ballyhooed bust of a former first-round draft pick, quarterback Paxton Lynch.

Assuming the Broncos, rather than outright cutting Lynch, shop his wares around the league, hoping for a desperate club to come calling.

Assume venerable ESPN insider Adam Schefter is misinformed and Lynch's trade value hovers in the non-zero range. Or, at least, he's worth more than a box of used tissues.

Now that we've mired through that muck, and removed realistic variables from the equation, a handful of NFL destinations make sense for the third-year signal-caller. And because I don't want to waste (any more of) your time, I'll get right to the point.

Buffalo Bills: Connecting the dots, this sounds like the most obvious landing spot, given A.J. McCarron sustained a broken collarbone Friday, an injury that typically takes months to heal. Can Lynch beat out Nathan Peterman, who's best known for tossing five interceptions in one half? Actually ... don't answer that, but do consider him a potential option behind presumed rookie starter Josh Allen.

Los Angeles Rams: If anyone's skilled enough to salvage Lynch, it's wunderkind coach Sean McVay, the league's newest, youngest QB whisperer. McVay, however, can't seem to work his Goff magic on Sean Mannion, former sixth-rounder Brandon Allen and something named Luis Perez. The Broncos and Rams did business this offseason in the Aqib Talib trade and Lynch would reunite with defensive boss Wade Phillips. Fun all around!

Detroit Lions: Word out of the Motor City is Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel (yes, he's still hanging around) aren't cutting it as Matthew Stafford's clipboard-holders. The Lions are known to swing for the fences with aggressive general manager Bob Quinn and Lynch, theoretically, would fit in Jim Bob Cooter's offensive system. Denver can do Lynch a solid by gifting him a Pro Bowl mentor -- if he cares enough to put down the video games.

New York Jets: Lynch for Teddy Bridgewater, straight up. A boy can dream, can't he? While such a deal has no chance of transpiring -- the Jets may cut Bridgewater or find a team willing to surrender decent compensation for him -- the trade partner is surface-level feasible. Lynch would work with ex-Broncos QBs coach Rick Dennison, now New York's offensive line and running game coordinator. He'd also form the bridge between future-of-the-franchise Sam Darnold and graybeard backup Josh McCown.

Philadelphia Eagles: "B-b-but the Eagles have Super Bowl MVP Nick Foles behind Carson Wentz!" Eh, maybe. Foles injured his shoulder during their second preseason game, putting his availability in doubt. Head coach and master playcaller Doug Pederson loves him a developmental type, evidenced by the Eagles' recent acquisition of Christian Hackenberg, who might be even worse than Lynch, if you could believe it. Nate Sudfeld is better than both, though, so this is probably a long-shot.
