Denver Broncos: Top trade pieces heading into training camp
7. Henry Krieger-Coble, Tight End
Finally, I could see the Broncos entertaining offers for backup tight end Henry Krieger-Coble. Similar to Virgil Green, Krieger-Coble is part of a pretty good group of tight ends, at least on paper.
He needed to add weight last season, but there’s never been any question about his ability to catch the football. He showed out in that regard for the Broncos last year, not just in the preseason and training camp but also after getting called up late in the regular season, catching the one and only pass he was targeted on.

If Krieger-Coble has another strong offseason, teams could be calling the Broncos inquiring about the price to get him. Why would they do that if he might just be the odd man out in a numbers game?
Why would any team call about a trade for a guy that might be the odd man out in a numbers game?
Well, the reason is pretty simple. Teams who won’t have the opportunity to cash in on talent that hits the waiver wire will probably be willing to dangle draft picks or other players for someone that can help them right away. The Broncos are in a rare position to be able to listen to offers and sort of pick and choose which ones suit them.
These players are just the tip of the iceberg, as nearly everyone has their price. This far into the process, though, you rarely see big names getting traded. Still, the Broncos could look to swing a deal or two and get something out of their depth rather than just letting these players go for nothing.
