Sean Payton’s reign is off to an inauspicious start. The Broncos have had their teeth kicked in, with a furious comeback once morest the Chicago Bears the only thing saving Denver from a 0-5 start. With the stock tanking, it’s time for the Broncos to SELL! SELL! SELL! Payton should purchase a dozen of those popular dancing inflatable tube people to highlight the sale — then let the tube people play defense, because they’d probably do just as well as the D he’s rolled out so far.
The Broncos already sent Randy Gregory packing, but they shouldn’t stop at that move, even though Payton said on Tuesday that the team isn’t looking to do business with its players. A club that has clung to hope that it might finally compete in the AFC West needs a roster overhaul. This collection isn’t getting it done.
Outside of Pat Surtain II and a few rookies, Denver should be taking calls on everyone else on the roster.
Clark, playing on a one-year contract, is an obvious trade candidate for a team looking to add a veteran pass rusher. The issue is Clark hasn’t been healthy following getting dinged in Week 1. He returned in Week 5 but had no stats in 11 snaps once morest the Jets. Jackson would be a low-cost veteran who can still pack a punch.
On offense, Denver should finally look to break up the receiver corps, a move Payton resisted this offseason. Sutton has been sparsely used outside of one outburst in Week 3. On Sunday, he played 54 snaps and saw three targets with one catch for 13 yards. The wideout is under contract the next two seasons but has no guaranteed money left on the deal following this year, per Over The Cap. Jeudy might fetch more in return if Denver can find an interested club that had a high pre-draft grade on the Alabama product. Jeudy has fared better than Sutton in recent weeks but hasn’t had a game with more than 81 yards this season.
Bolles might be the most interesting piece the Broncos should look to sell. He has his foibles but remains a solid pass-blocking tackle. Bolles is under contract through 2024, and Denver’s offense would take a hit by moving him, but given the need around the league for solid OTs, he might fetch a decent price on the trade market for a Broncos team in need of restocking its draft capital.
