Could more moves be on the way?<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">After the early wave of NFL free agency, Bleacher Report&#8217;s Moe Moton published a list of <a href=\"https:\/\/bleacherreport.com\/articles\/25406719-7-surprise-trades-can-still-happen-after-early-2026-nfl-free-agency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">seven hypothetical &#8220;surprise&#8221; trades<\/a> that could happen this spring. One of them involves Denver.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Moton&#8217;s list of mock trades included the <a href=\"https:\/\/saintswire.usatoday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">New Orleans Saints<\/a> sending Alvin Kamara to the Broncos, reuniting the running back with coach Sean Payton. Moton did not include hypothetical terms for a trade, but it&#8217;s hard to imagine the Saints commanding more than a late-round pick swap with Kamara set to turn 31 this summer, entering the final year of his contract.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">ESPN has reported that NFL teams are <a href=\"http:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/saints\/2026\/03\/09\/saints-alvin-kamara-trade-rumors-travis-etienne-deal\/89074960007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">monitoring Kamara&#8217;s status<\/a> after New Orleans signed running back Travis Etienne during free agency. Kamara has said he would rather retire than play for a team other than the Saints, but if there&#8217;s one coach that could change his mind, it might be Payton.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">If Kamara is traded, a move likely wouldn&#8217;t happen <a href=\"http:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/saints\/2026\/03\/09\/saints-alvin-kamara-trade-rumors-travis-etienne-deal\/89074960007\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">until after June 1<\/a> for salary cap purposes. For now, talk of a potential Kamara trade is merely speculation. But the running back&#8217;s status will be worth tracking going into the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Need a news break? <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (play)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/play.usatoday.com\/?itm_source=SPIKE&amp;itm_campaign=PLAYSPIKE&amp;itm_medium=ONSITE\">Check out the all new PLAY hub with puzzles, games and more!<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Social: Follow\u00a0<a href=\"\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Broncos Wire<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BroncosWire\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/thebroncoswire\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>!\u00a0Did you know:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/broncoswire.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nfl\/broncos\/2019\/08\/03\/denver-broncos-famous-fans-celebrities-include-paul-george-amy-adams\/79446413007\/\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 29, 2026, 7:30 a.m. MT The Denver Broncos have already made one trade this offseason, acquiring wide&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841297,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2076],"tags":[95878,7,896,55,2572,2571,6,397,95879,95880,98748,95882,95892,95893,104215,95896,95888,95897,95883,96046,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-841296","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-orleans-saints","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-new-orleans","11":"tag-new-orleans-saints","12":"tag-neworleans","13":"tag-neworleanssaints","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-saints","16":"tag-sstssportsnflbroncos","17":"tag-sstsnbroncos","18":"tag-tagalvin-kamara","19":"tag-tagamerican-football","20":"tag-tagespn-inc","21":"tag-tagfacebook","22":"tag-tagjaylen-waddle","23":"tag-tagnational-sports","24":"tag-tagnfl","25":"tag-tagoverall-negative","26":"tag-tagsports-news","27":"tag-tagtravis-etienne-jr","28":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116313678838821769","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841296"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841296\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
