The Denver Broncos have a surplus of wide receivers after a recent trade, and the New York Jets are reportedly looking to add a wideout before the season starts. With the Jets’ general manager having previously worked for the Broncos, a trade between the two teams could make sense for both sides.
Why it matters
The Broncos have the depth at wide receiver to potentially trade one of their players, while the Jets are in need of more offensive weapons. A trade could benefit both teams as they look to improve their rosters ahead of the upcoming season.
The details
The Broncos acquired Jaylen Waddle in a recent trade, giving them a deep wide receiver corps that includes Waddle, Courtland Sutton, Jerry Jeudy, and others. The Jets, led by general manager Darren Mougey who previously worked for the Broncos, are reportedly looking to add a wide receiver before the season. The Broncos could offer up players like Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, or Pat Bryant as potential trade options for the Jets.
