The Denver Broncos were in the market for a quarterback as free agency begin, but Peter King of Sports Illustrated reports that they never made an offer to Kirk Cousins.

Cousins eventually signed a fully-guaranteed deal with the Minnesota Vikings.

He had been linked to Denver, not only because of need, but also because a number of players made their own interest in Cousins public.

Ian Rapoport reports that when the Broncos realized Cousins' price tag, they pivoted to Case Keenum.
