3 trades the Broncos should make after trading Von Miller

2. Melvin Gordon to the Tennessee Titans

If the Broncos are willing to trade Von Miller to one of the best teams in the NFC, why would they not be willing to trade Melvin Gordon to one of the best teams in the AFC?

Gordon scored his fourth and fifth touchdowns of the season in the Broncos’ win over the Washington Football Team, and he’s proven since he signed in 2020 that he is still one of the better all-around backs in the league.

With the occasional case of fumbleitis.

Gordon’s ability as a three-down workhorse back is desperately needed by the Tennessee Titans right now, as they have just lost Derrick Henry for potentially the remainder of the 2021 regular season.

Why would the Titans hold onto 2022 NFL Draft selections when they are in a possible championship window?

They are currently the top seed in the AFC, and being stingy with draft picks right now would not be overly wise business practice.

Just look at the Rams.

The Titans are now in need of a lead back and the Broncos have one that should be available for the right price. Trading Gordon would allow Javonte Williams to take over the featured back role with Mike Boone as the number two.
