4. Minnesota Vikings

Would George Paton be willing to do this kind of blockbuster deal with his old team? There are a lot of familiar faces on the coaching staff in Minnesota for Chubb, notably on the defensive side of the ball where former Broncos DC Ed Donatell is now the man in charge. The Vikings do have Za’Darius Smith and Danielle Hunter coming off the edge already, but Chubb could come in for them and play a versatile role with his hand in the dirt or standing up off the edge.

The familiarity with Donatell makes this an interesting possibility, but the fact that the Vikings are in first place in the NFC North through five games could make them an intriguing buyer at this year’s deadline.

5. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans started off this season looking like one of the league’s biggest disappointments. Three weeks and three wins in a row later, and they are looking like they might just run away with the ugly AFC South. Although the Titans are not often known for being the aggressor, their best pass rusher landed on IR before the 2022 season even started.

Harold Landry is unavailable. Former big-money free agent signing Bud Dupree has been a disappointment. If the Broncos were to trade Bradley Chubb within the AFC, this seems like arguably the most likely destination. Chubb could give them a dominant presence off the edge to go with interior guys like Denico Autry and Jeffrey Simmons.
