List of Broncos Predicted to Be Traded Before the Deadline Revealed
When the Denver Broncos started the season 0-3, reports began breaking about the team being active sellers before the October 31 trade deadline. Now, the Broncos sit at 1-5 with two games left before the deadline, the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Even if the Broncos somehow win both games and end up 3-5, they will still likely be sellers at the trade deadline. Both of those games are in Denver, but that isn't the reassurance it once was, as the Broncos had the lead at halftime in their three home games this season but ended up blowing it and losing them all.
With a little over two weeks until the trade deadline, multiple veterans make sense for the Broncos to move on from. One of the big talking points has been the Broncos getting their younger players on the field to see what they have in them.
Every player that I will mention here won't be traded. In fact, maybe three, or five at the very most, get traded.
Let's dive in.
Jerry Jeudy | WR
Courtland Sutton | WR
Justin Simmons | S
Garett Bolles | OT
Josey Jewell | LB
Alex Singleton | LB
Patrick Surtain II | CB
Lloyd Cushenberry III | C
Samaje Perine | RB
Mike Purcell | DL
D.J. Jones | DL
K'Waun Williams | CB
When K'Waun Williams was on the field last year, the defense was much better than without him. However, he has struggled to stay on the field and has been on injured reserve this season. The NFL has changed the rules to allow teams to trade players on IR, which opens the door to move Williams.
Some competitive teams need to improve their nickel corner, and while Williams is still expected to miss a couple more weeks, he should be back in time for the final push. For the right price, he can be a crucial reinforcement for a team making a playoff run. His contract isn't prohibitive, either.
Likelihood to be traded: 15%.
Return: A conditional Day 3 pick in 2024 and 2025.
