With the NFL trade deadline approaching, the Denver Broncos are reportedly weighing options to enhance their roster. Potential targets include running back Jonathan Taylor and offensive lineman Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts, both of whom could provide significant upgrades. However, the high cost and draft capital considerations may deter the Broncos from making aggressive moves, especially given their recent struggles at running back due to injuries and performance issues. The team could also consider tight end Sam LaPorta from the Detroit Lions, although his availability is uncertain. Denver’s decision-making will be critical in balancing short-term gains against long-term assets.
