Emmanuel Sanders Tweets That Uncle Rico Could Be Next Denver Broncos QB

The Denver Broncos are the reigning Super Bowl champions, but they find themselves in the market for a new quarterback.

Peyton Manning retired. Brock Osweiler bolted for the Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Rand Getlin. Now, Trevor Siemian—a rookie in 2015—is the only quarterback on Denver's roster.

Don't worry, Broncos fans. Denver receiver Emmanuel Sanders appears to have found someone who would fit perfectly in the Mile High City:

Uncle Rico.

Like Sanders said, Napoleon Dynamite's uncle is best known for throwing footballs over mountains, a skill that could be very useful in Colorado:

Right now, the Broncos need to be exploring all options. Unfortunately for Uncle Rico, his coach never put him in during the fourth quarter of the championship game, keeping him from gaining valuable big-game experience. But the scouting report doesn't lie:

Uncle Rico is not currently on an NFL roster, but now that free agency is underway, it may not be long before he finds himself succeeding Manning. If the Broncos want Uncle Rico, they better move fast:

Sanders also weighed in on a few more possible free-agent signings:

The veteran wideout even gave his thoughts on our suggestion:

It's up to the Broncos to figure out who gives the team the best chance of winning championships in the future.
