In a stunning turn of events, Denver Broncos quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has decided to terminate his contract with the team, citing medical reasons. The decision comes as a shock to fans and analysts alike, as Penix was expected to be a key player for the Broncos in the upcoming season.
According to sources close to the situation, Penix’s decision stems from concerns about his ongoing medical issues, which have plagued him throughout his career. The exact nature of these issues has not been disclosed, but it appears they have prompted Penix to prioritize his health and well-being over his professional football career.
The termination of Penix’s contract comes with a hefty financial cost for the Broncos, as the quarterback was set to earn $3.8 million over the remaining years of his deal.
