The NFL trade deadline is a week away, and the rumors are starting to heat up. We have already seen the Broncos included in these rumors for a wide receiver and tight end, and they were once again name-dropped as a team that is interested in adding a wide receiver.
The Broncos put in a couple of waiver claims on tight ends Brendan Bates and Ben Sims, but they went to the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, respectively, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tight end isn't the only position the Broncos are prioritizing with the trade deadline inching closer, Schefter claims.
The Denver Broncos could do themselves and quarterback Bo Nix a favor before the 2025 NFL trade deadline passes.
There was a chance that the Broncos would pursue a tight end at the Nov. 4 trade deadline due to Nate Adkins’ injury and Evan Engram’s inefficiency, but after signing veteran Marcedes Lewis, the Broncos will likely shift their focus to offensive line depth.
On Tuesday, ESPN's Benjamin Solak proposed the Broncos send McMillian and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round selection and a conditional 2027 sixth-round choice.
A few trade rumors from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler amount to great news for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, all of whom are believed to be in the market for a wide receiver.
Broncos are linked to a Saints wideout, just not Chris Olave, as Denver targets a true field-stretching receiver.
However, the Raiders' front office has been rebuilt in the image of the Broncos, with several key executives, including GM John Spytek, formerly being part of Denver's scouting department. Spytek was a scout under former GM John Elway during the Peyton Manning years.
The Broncos tried (and failed) to claim two tight ends off the NFL's waiver wire on Monday. Denver put in claims for Brendan Bates and Ben Sims, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but those players were awarded to the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, respectively, because those clubs were higher in the waiver order than the Broncos.
