Three fun and crazy trade ideas for the Denver Broncos

Broncos get: LT Terron Armstead
Dolphins get: LT Garett Bolles and CB Ronald Darby

This may be a realistic one, to be completely honest.  So, let’s break it down.

Terron Armstead was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and spent the 2013-2021 seasons as a Saint before signing a big deal with the Miami Dolphins.  The main issue with Armstead is that he’s never played a full season, so he’s missed time in every season of his career, but he is a significant upgrade from Garett Bolles.

Secondly, the Dolphins hired Vic Fangio as their defensive coordinator.  They are going to need another cornerback as Byron Jones is on a big contract and has not stayed healthy, so why not reunite Vic Fangio with Darby in Miami?

Then, the Dolphins also get Garett Bolles, who, as I mentioned last slide, may not be with the team in 2023.

Darby is coming off of a torn ACL but still has a year left on his contract.  Could GM Chris Grier be convinced by Fangio that Darby will return to his normal self and be good to go in his defense?  Maybe.
