ESPN’s FINAL Denver Broncos Trade Rumors Update Before 2025 NFL Trade Deadline

As we inch our way closer and closer to the NFL trade deadline, which is coming up this coming Tuesday, November 4th, we’ve got a lot to talk about considering there have been multiple times the Denver Broncos have been listed by a multitude of different NFL sources, mainly Adam Shfter and most recently Jeremy Fowler. So, I’ve compiled the final three targets that I believe would make not only the most sense for the Denver Broncos, but the ones that the Denver Broncos, in my opinion, are going after the hardest. There are three names that I’m going to give you. Now, we’re going to start, of course, with Adam Shfter and what he had to say about the Denver Broncos and this upcoming trade deadline. Here’s what Sheffy said on his most recent podcast, which was filmed on Tuesday, released on Wednesday. I think there’s going to be a flurry of activity after next week. Talking about this week, week nine. I’m still counting and waiting on deals for wide receivers. So, obviously, nothing has come to fruition yet for all of these teams. But he later goes on to mention three teams that have made furious calls for wide receivers. The Bills, the Steelers, and the Denver Broncos. So, I can expect something big to happen by the trade deadline, which by the way, we’re going to be live for. If you want to join us at noon central, 11 a.m. Mountain time, you got to hit that subscribe button, turn on your notifications, and make sure you know exactly when Broncos Breakdown goes live for the NFL trade deadline. I’m going to continue on with what Adam Shfter had to say about the Denver Broncos rumors himself. Remember, this is continuing on in his podcast. He says, “We’ve got the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Buffalo Bills, and the Denver Broncos, and other teams that have made calls about wide receivers. The New Orleans Saints are sitting on a collection of wide receivers in which I think at least one will be dealt. And if I had to bet, I’d say Rashid Shahed is the guy that interests teams the most for his speed and his talent.” Well, it’s not just Adam Shfter that’s also saying that. We’ve got people around the Twitter world, around social media, and around the NFL that are also saying the same thing. The Broncos rumored to be interested in working out a trade deal for Saints wide receiver Rasheed. The need for speed Shahed. That’s my guy Trizy Trace over there who coined that phrase. So, let’s start off the list with Rasheed Shahed. Because we’ve seen his name thrown out a lot of times, we have to do a little bit of a breakdown and talk a little bit about what we see from this guy as a player. Because truthfully, when I say deep threat of the NFL, that is my guy. He is truly the definition of stretch the field, bomb it deep, and find the end zone. He can stretch the field better than most wide receivers in the NFL. The sad fact is he plays for the Saints, and they’re not very good. So, Spencer Rattler’s deep field accuracy, eh, Tyler Shuck now getting the start for the New Orleans Saints. I mean, everything right now in New Orleans is just on fire. So, clearly, they’re not utilizing him the way he should. But, he’s not a player that will ever be the type of guy that goes out and gets you 75 receptions in a season. It’s just not his game. And in fact, believe it or not, he’s he’s kind of been injured since 2022. 12 games played in 2022, 15 in 2023. Last year, missed the majority of this season with a uh injury as well. He’s played all all the games this year in 2025 so far and clearly off to a hotter start. 39 receptions, 431 yards, two touchdowns, averaging 11.1 per reception. So, what do we know about his style of play? So, those are the statistics. What about the style? Well, he’s a certified deep threat. He’s got that blazing speed that you’re looking for and he finds the end zone. So, when you can connect with Rasheed Shahed, it’s almost always a massive play. Now, I will say this. For every pro, there is a con. He’s not the deepest route runner, so his route tree isn’t that great. He kind of only has a couple of moves. He’s not utilized properly, like I said, in New Orleans. And that 2024 injury is kind of a concern, and the injury history in general is kind of a concern. But I’m willing to bypass all that because I truly believe that he is a great fit for the Denver Broncos. Just say everybody on the Broncos wide receiver room right now. Say it out loud what their specialty is. Marvin Mims is great with the ball in his hand, especially at the line of scrimmage in the screen game and behind the line with jet sweeps. Troy Franklin is an unbelievable route runner that doesn’t have the most shorefire hands yet. And Courtland Sutton is great in splash plays and also in contested catches. He’s your stereotypical number one wide receiver. Pat Bryant’s coming into his own and Trent Sherfield’s a great blocker. The one thing that the Broncos are actually missing is the stereotypical down the- field stretcher. They don’t have one yet. Mims is the closest thing, but he’s more of a utility player. Great in special teams, great in the screen game, great on jet sweeps. Get the ball in Mim’s hands and watch him go to work, but he’s not the guy that stretches the field consistently and gives you those big type of plays. Well, that’s where Rashid Shahed comes in. So, anybody who thinks it’s not a good fit, it actually is a fantastic fit. Now, is it the name like Jaylen Wadd and the talent like Jaylen Wadd? No. Is it the name and the talent of a guy like Jacobe Meyers? No. But this wouldn’t cost you a ton of draft capital either. I’m thinking maybe you just give them the fourth round pick that you g you got earlier from the Devon Vlay trade and just wipe your hands clean of it. So then you don’t give up any of your current draft picks and you get another player. I think it just makes a lot of sense. And the upgrade from Devon Vele to Rasheed Shahed is mountains. Shahed is way better of a player. So would you trade for Rasheed Shahed? Let me know in the comments section down below. Type T for trade or type P for pass. I’m typing my T for trade immediately. Here’s the thing. If St. or not St. If New Orleans calls up uh calls me up and says, “Hey, we want a third or higher.” I’d pass. I’d say no. I’m not willing to give that up for uh for Shahid. That’s just not the not the kind of capital that I’d give up. All right. Coming up next, I’m going to tell you about the final two trade targets that have not only been mentioned by the talking heads in the NFL like Sher and Fowler, but also who I believe could fit the Denver Broncos the very, very best. And spoiler alert, one of them kind of left me scratching my head. Now, before I get into that, I got to tell you about our friends over at Bubs Naturals Collagen Peptides.

So Jeremy Fowler and Adam Shfter, they kind of compete for breaking news. Fowler has a lot of good inside information. Adam Shfter is obviously the bigger name, but Fowler does get a lot of things right. and he was recently talking about the Denver Broncos, but he went in a different area. He did list a pass catcher, but he also listed an offensive guard. Let’s start with the pass catcher cuz that’s the sexy one, right? That’s the bigger name, Jacobe Meyers. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out, Moose. He’s in the same division. He’s our rival. He plays for the Raiders. Well, believe it or not, crazier things have happened. Inner division trades happen all the time. And believe it or not, there might be a connection that the Broncos have to Jacobe Meyers. That might indicate it might be easier than you think. Here’s what Jeremy Fowler said on Jacobe Meyers. Teams I have talked to believe that Meyers has a decent chance to be dealt, possibly the best chance among available wide receivers, so keep your eye on that. Las Vegas has received interest in the seven-year veteran. And my sense is the Raiders want a strong pick from Meyers. Several teams are believed to be in the receiver market, most notably the Steelers and possibly the Broncos and Bills. Meyers clearly wants out and the Raiders are in a transitional phase. Remember when I said there was that connection to Jacobe Meyers? Here it is. Mitchell Rens, a Raiders host who does an excellent job over there on the Raiders report for a really dogwater football team, claims that Brian Starks, who worked for 13 years with the Denver Broncos, still has that Denver connection. So clearly, he could call up John Spyc over there in Las Vegas and say, “Hey, what’s it going to take to get Jacobe Meyers? Maybe it is a third round pick. Maybe it’s a second round pick.” Jacobe Myers is one hell of a player. really really good. I would love Jacobe on this team. If you had to pick between Jacobe Meers and Rasheed Shahed, the better talent is Jacobe Meyers. The better fit might be Shahed, but Meyers is a true number two. He would be right behind Courtland Sutton and he would be excellent. Now, as a number two, where does he stack up against one of the bigger names like Jaylen Wadd? Well, it’s not nearly as good, but for what you’re getting from Meyers and from Wadd, Meyers isn’t that much further behind. And think about this. How much worse are the Raiders than the Dolphins in quarterback play? It’s a lot. And two has played awful this year. That’s how bad Gino Smith has been. He leads the league in picks, but 11.3 per reception, 329 yards, 43 targets. This is a guy that is craving good quarterback play. You know who he’s craving? Bicks. Bring him home. Bring him to Bo. Bring him to Mile High. I would take it in a heartbeat. He’s an excellent route runner. Is he the most talented player in the league? No, of course not. But what this guy offers you is basically kind of like Courtland Sutton Light. Like run the route, six or seven receptions, 70 80 yards. He can absolutely do damage under the right system. And Shawn Payeyton system could be the right system for Jacobe. All right, let’s talk about the last trade target. Probably a name you haven’t heard of before, and that’s okay. Ben Cleveland. So, Ben Cleveland is the backup guard right now for the Baltimore Ravens. And Ben Solak of ESPN, he’s an ESPN reporter for the NFL. He was talking about this and interestingly enough, he and Fowler collabed on this part of the article and he said, “Ravens guard Ben Cleveland, the Broncos could be looking for depth at the guard position following the injury to Ben Powers, whom they signed to Baltimore or who they signed from Baltimore two years ago, excuse me. Here they would add Cleveland who resigned with the Ravens this off season but failed to win a camp battle for the left guard spot. Okay, so here’s what I think about this. I don’t know that the Broncos need more offensive line help. Well, Moose, we always need offensive line help. We need depth. I understand what you’re saying. I really do because with Ben Powers out now you’ve got Calvin Throckmorton, Alex Pesky. The Broncos offensive line has still been very good with those two in. Why would you give up a draft pick just to add more offensive line depth if you know both of those guys are going to start? It just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. And in the 2024 season, he only played 176 snaps. Granted, he gave up no penalties and he’s a lot better in the run game than he is the pass game, which is stereotypical of a guard, but it’s a less sexy move. It It only adds depth. I’m not so sure that I want to give up a draft pick in order to go out and get a depth guard. He’s not even starting with the Ravens. He’s not. And that says something. You know what I mean? Like if I look at the Broncos offensive line depth chart right now with Ben Powers clearly out at that left guard position, I get the fact that you want an extra name just in case, but I’m willing to gamble on Alex Pesky and Calvin Throckmorton. If something bad happens like that, then go to the free agency waiver wires and claim another offensive lineman. Hell, call up Brandon Sherf. He just retired. There’s a lot of different options that you can get at the offensive line position that don’t involve a trade. You know what’s harder to trade for? A weapon. A weapon. Because when you go out and try to claim somebody off of waiver wires as a weapon, the talent is a lot worse than what you could get off the street for an offensive lineman. Just food for thought. Name of player the Denver Broncos should trade for. Let me know in the comments section down below. Give me your trade candidate for mile high.

  1. Waddle is the only acceptable WR to trade for, he can do what DT did and take those screens for long gains seans been so desperately trying to get going, he’s got the speed and route running to make a difference in short down situations and slants, we don’t need another Sutton since that’s what Bryant is and Franklin can stretch the outside routes for waddle to take things deep or across the middle as well, any other WR is a failed trade

  2. I honestly don’t think the broncos should trade for a receiver if it’s not a major name, Mims and court had 80 against the giants, Troy had 80 and 2 TDS against cowboys. Why do they need a definite number 2 wr when you can plug in mims or Troy when needed. I think njoku dream scenario both him and engram would petrify defenses opening up the middle allowing receivers to thrive downfield. Another option linemen maybe just another db or sum idk.

  3. I don't understand why we would pay for another receiver. Both of our receivers are fast and Young. Bringing in an old vet isn't going to save this team
