According to multiple reports, the Broncos are ready to deal before the trade deadline. According to GM John Elway, there are no players being shopped.
“You guys bring all those names up. I have not brought any names up. We’re trying to win football games over here. So, no one from our side is in the trading block. ” Elway said (Twitter link via Troy Renck of Denver 7). “We’re going to try to win football games.”
Among the names brought up in recent days: star linebacker Von Miller, cornerback Chris Harris, defensive tackle Derek Wolfe, and wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. With less than three weeks to go before the deadline, and a 1-4 record, Elway’s denial might not too much to stop the speculation.
Miller is reportedly open to a change of scenery and all of his major bonuses and guarantees have already been paid, so he would be a logical trade chip. Still, last we heard, the Broncos are not interested in parting ways with him, and Elway says the same.
The Broncos will face the Titans, Chiefs, and Colts before the trade deadline on Tuesday, October 29. If Elway is to be believed, the roster will be largely the same heading into the following game against the Browns.
Why even bother asking these questions? What’s he going to say?
*In Brian Reagan Voice*
Uhh, ya we trade the goodliest ones. For to have the draft picks to take more players in the draft times!
Skins, Broncos, Jets, Jags and a few others need to admit their season is over and get 1st in line to trade players for the infamous ‘rebuild’ yet again!
Sorta like this latest Browns ‘rebuild’ that has their QB more interested in commercials & endorsements rather than studying film.
How much film do you need to study to make your o line decent?
You might say that watching film would be more important when you have a crappy line.
How ? Dude can watch all the film in the world doesn’t matter if he can’t get the ball to where it needs to be before he’s already getting hit
If teams are being that aggressive coming after the QB, then running lanes are open. Studying film tells the QB what tendencies what DC’s like to call.
But I never thought much of the Browns this offseason. Using more realistic logic. A 1st time HC & 2nd year QB usually struggle. And that’s been true the 1st month of the season. Add in too many egos, penalties, and undisciplined football; you won’t be over 500.
And you wonder why everyone says Elway ruined the Broncos
I hear soon Britney will take over and I imagine they’ll have a Lotta new front office staff.
Why, he is doing so well. Lol
What?
gotta be realistic if ur got a bad record or one that suggests it’s a long shot to make it to the sb then trading guys ur pretty sure u can’t or won’t resign, or players that prob won’t resign with u , is a good idea . getting something for em instead of nothing
Posturing for leverage. I hope Von stays though
Elway has had too many hits to the head. Thinks every player is gonna last like he did. That is his first mistake.
Elway is making sense. Just because all the free agents you hired get injured doesn’t mean you trade away the ones that work. This is all just pushing back hot air.
