The Denver Broncos could be more sellers than buyers at the 2019 NFL trade deadline. What are some moves they could look to make?

With a losing record (2-6) heading into the second half of the 2019 season, the Denver Broncos are (unfortunately) more likely to be selling at this year’s trade deadline as opposed to buying.

The unfortunate reality of the Broncos’ current situation is that this team is probably going to get better value for some of their older veteran players on the trade market than they would in terms of future compensatory picks or even on the field the rest of the way in 2019.

At the same time, the Broncos still have to field a competitive team this season and they might not want to simply just rack up draft picks. There could be players around the league other teams don’t view as long-term options either that the Broncos could attempt to build around.

This front office has to think about swallowing some big pills with studs like Chris Harris Jr. and Derek Wolfe on expiring contracts and no guarantee either will re-sign with the team beyond this season.

We’ve already seen the Broncos get a nice haul for Emmanuel Sanders from the San Francisco 49ers. What could be up next?

Even if the Broncos don’t make another move before the NFL’s trade deadline on Tuesday, some of these moves make sense or would at least be fun to see happen, or could net the team some much-needed value for guys who won’t be with the team in 2020 anyway.

Let’s dive into some of the options.
