Broncos could trade for Myles Gaskin

George Paton could give the Miami Dolphins a call and see what they would like in return for Myles Gaskin, at one time the team’s starting running back but one who seems to have fallen out of favor with the current coaching staff.

Gaskin has been inactive for three of the team’s games this season but has rushed for over 1,300 yards with seven touchdowns in the three seasons he has been there prior to 2022. He is also extremely effective as a receiver out of the backfield.

The Dolphins have leaned on Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert to lead their rushing attack this season and Gaskin is lost in that mix. As a result, they may not even need much in return to get him off their roster.

The Broncos could bring him in to give Wilson a good check-down option in the passing game and one with over 350 career rushing attempts to help take the load off of Gordon.
