Broncos unlikely to trade Troy Franklin amid wide receiver depth
Summary

The Denver Broncos are reportedly not inclined to trade wide receivers Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. despite interest from other teams. With a deep receiver group led by Courtland Sutton and newly acquired Jaylen Waddle, Franklin's role may be interpreted as secure. Marvin Mims, who is in the final year of his contract and is recognized for his return abilities, could be viewed as more susceptible to trade discussions. The Broncos aim to remain competitive in the AFC, following their narrow loss to the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game last season. Any potential trade scenarios could hinge on how their depth chart shapes up as the season progresses.
