Denver Broncos: 4 CJ Henderson trade ideas with the Jaguars

4. CJ Henderson for Tim Patrick and a pick…in a three-team deal?

This type of trade might require a rare third team to pull off.

Could the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars pull in a third team to pull off a trade?

The Broncos have a valuable asset in Tim Patrick, someone whose value to the team will disappear as the 2021 season progresses.

The Jaguars do not necessarily need a player like Patrick right now, but other teams around the NFL might.

Would the Denver Broncos call up someone like Terry Fontenot with the New Orleans Saints and work something out that looks like this:

• Jaguars get: Saints 2nd-round pick
• Saints get: WR Tim Patrick
• Broncos get: CB CJ Henderson

That type of trade is certainly not common in the NFL, but it’s a trade that could work for all three teams.

Adding Henderson would give the Denver Broncos an elite group of six cornerbacks with three long-term prospects at the position in Henderson, Surtain, and Michael Ojemudia. The Broncos also have Ronald Darby under contract for next season.

There’s no need for the Denver Broncos to panic regarding the future of their cornerback room, but the opportunity to get a potential future shutdown guy like Henderson to pair with Surtain for the long term is very intriguing.

Denver Broncos: 5 players who have disappointed in camp so far

The Denver Broncos are well underway with training camp in 2021, but not every player is playing up to expectations. Who has disappointed so far?

If George Paton is going to be “in” every deal, he should at least check in with Trent Baalke and the Jaguars on this one.
