This would be a low risk/high reward type signing that the Broncos should do if his medicals come back clean and if he can pass a physical. If he does, and I expect he will, I believe he will be a member of the Denver Broncos in the next 24 to 48 hours.
It was reported yesterday that the Denver Broncos would host veteran free agent running back Jamaal Charles to upgrade their backfield. Well, Denver Broncos Head Coach Vance Joseph said if Charles is "right and it fits for us, we'll make it happen".

Andy Reid explains how he told Alex Smith the Chiefs were drafting a QB | FOX Sports
"You’re looking for the best player you possibly can, obviously, but then there’s also a fit. So, we start with that quarterback position that … Alex has been phenomenal here. Absolutely phenomenal. We still know that Alex can play at a high level, but he’s not getting any younger. That’s just part of how this thing rolls. We always keep our eyes open to bring in quarterbacks, we’ve done that in the past. We just saw this kid that we liked, we thought would fit into our system, and would just be a heck of an addition to our football team."

“That’s the thing we want to see,” Dorsey said “How fast he can accelerate his learning curve and see where he does wind up on the depth chart after playing four preseason games.”
“Do you want quality or quantity,” Dorsey said, explaining his reasoning for turning 10 picks into six. “It was one of those things where I said ‘You know, I’m willing to move up and get this player,’ and that’s what we did.
Chiefs turn trade-happy in prospect pursuit during NFL draft | AP
“I tried to read as much as I could in terms of reading the other 31 teams and see where they were positioning,” he said after pulling off his biggest trade, sending two first-round picks and a third to Buffalo to jump up 17 spots and select quarterback Patrick Mahomes at No. 10 overall on Thursday.
When Sam and I first discussed the possibility of the Chiefs selecting a quarterback — which happened during Super Bowl week — I called Patrick Mahomes a less-polished Matthew Stafford, and I stand by the comparison. I always wondered what Stafford would have become had he been paired with a quarterback coach of Andy Reid’s caliber from the beginning; now I hope to get a sense. The arm talent is similar, and so is the tendency to throw from different platforms and arm angles. Mahomes also has a bit of the gunslinger Favre gene with the Tarkenton scrambling gene.
