Former Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock is back in the headlines — and this time, it’s for a fresh start. According to multiple reports, Lock has officially signed with a new team ahead of the 2025 NFL season, marking another opportunity for the 27-year-old signal caller to prove himself in a league that never stops moving.
Lock, who was drafted by the Broncos in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, has had a rollercoaster journey through the league. After flashes of promise in his rookie season, he struggled to find consistent footing in Denver’s offense, battling injuries, turnovers, and coaching changes. In 2022, he was part of the blockbuster trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Broncos and landed Lock with the Seattle Seahawks, where he spent the past few seasons as a backup.
Now, in 2025, Lock is ready for a fresh opportunity — and this time, it's with a team reportedly looking for a veteran presence behind a young starter. While the destination hasn't yet been confirmed publicly by the team, insiders say Lock could be competing for backup reps, with potential to start if injuries or performance issues arise.
While Lock’s stats haven’t always been stellar, his arm strength and mobility continue to make him an intriguing option for quarterback-needy franchises. More importantly, reports suggest Lock has grown into a more poised and confident player after several seasons of learning behind the scenes.
For Lock, this is more than just a new jersey — it’s a second chance to reshape his NFL story.
Whether he becomes a reliable backup or surprises everyone with a breakout campaign, Drew Lock’s return to relevance will be one of the more compelling storylines to follow this season.
