Teams reportedly expect Broncos to trade star player

The Denver Broncos have already made some significant changes to their roster ahead of the trade deadline, and rival teams reportedly expect them to move at least one more notable player in the coming weeks.

Matt Lombardo of FanBuzz was told by multiple NFL sources that the expectation is the Broncos will trade wide receiver Jerry Jeudy prior to the Oct. 31 deadline. One high-ranking NFC personnel director told Lombardo that the executive’s team has held internal discussions about a possible deal for Jeudy.

Jeudy has been mentioned in trade rumors over the past two seasons. Many felt the former first-round pick had breakout potential in Sean Payton’s offense, but Jeudy has just 17 catches for 208 yards in four games this season. He has not found the end zone.

While he has yet to live up to expectations, Jeudy is still only 24. The Broncos would likely be able to get decent value in return for him, especially from a team with playoff aspirations that needs help on the outside.

The Broncos traded veteran defensive lineman Randy Gregory last week and are expected to part ways with pass-rusher Frank Clark. Teams have also expressed interest in several other players on Denver’s roster.
