Broncos: Big-time players that could be traded if they are deadline sellers

3. Graham Glasgow, OG

One of the highest-priced players on the Denver Broncos, trading Graham Glasgow would have a number of benefits for the Denver Broncos over the long term.

First of all, you would be getting some salary cap relief. Glasgow counts $8.4 million against the Broncos’ salary cap this season, and $17.8 million combined over the next two years after that.

A trading team would not be forced to pay that to Glasgow, but for teams ailing on the interior offensive line, Glasgow can help at guard or center.

Second, trading Glasgow would obviously net you some future draft capital.

Third, it would allow the Broncos to get Netane Muti or Quinn Meinerz in a full-time starting role.

Again, getting young players would be a key motivation for the Denver Broncos in a number of these moves.

Glasgow might not have great value at this point given some of the injuries he’s sustained in Denver, but if the Broncos could get a decent pick for him, it might be worth shopping him around.
