The Denver Broncos may place running back Jaleel McLaughlin on the trade block, according to Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox. McLaughlin, who has averaged 4.8 yards per carry over three seasons, might be expendable due to the emergence of other running backs on the roster, including J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey. With a renewed focus on roster efficiency, the Broncos could explore trade options to capitalize on McLaughlin's value as he enters the final year of his deal. Jason La Canfora of Sports Illustrated suggests the Baltimore Ravens could be an ideal trade partner, potentially offering a late-round pick.

- •The Broncos have added depth with J.K. Dobbins and RJ Harvey in recent seasons.
