Three fun and crazy trade ideas for the Denver Broncos

Broncos get: LT Trent Williams and WR Brandon Aiyuk
49ers get: LT Garett Bolles, WR Courtland Sutton, CB Ronald Darby, and RB Javonte Williams

I know.  I already know what you all will say in the comments.

This is ridiculously unrealistic on so many levels, but it’s a fun thought to me.  Just imagine how insane this trade would be if it were to go down.

What I can say is that the 49ers could definitely use another starting-caliber cornerback.  They also may have an issue on their hands as Brandon Aiyuk is heading into his fourth season and may need a new deal soon.

With the load of expensive contracts the 49ers have on their roster, perhaps trading for an already-paid WR who will be cheaper than Aiyuk could be the move.  Trent Williams is also more expensive than Garett Bolles, so that might present some cap relief for San Fran.

The Denver Broncos would be receiving a Hall of Fame left tackle and a quality WR2.  Trading away Javonte Williams would also be hard to digest, but if I were asked to come up with compensation for Williams and Aiyuk, this is where I’d land.

I don’t know, I guess it’s not impossible.  Either way, I’ve had fun thinking of crazy trades to make.  I think the previous two I suggested are totally out there, but this last one certainly is.

The trend here is that the Broncos are getting a new and improved LT in the deal.  This would surely help their offensive line out, as they’d then be able to turn their focus to the left guard, center, and right tackle positions.
