There is still time...

Thus far, the Denver Broncos have not made a move at the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline, but this team has at least had interest here and there, at least according to certain people across the national landscape.

Having interest and making a move are two totally different things, and with time running out before the deadline, the front office needs to make a move now if one is coming.

There could still be a good bit of quality players that fit what the Broncos do still out on the market. Let's dive into three last-minute additions the team could still make.

The Denver Broncos could still make some last-second additions at the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline

Isaac Seumalo, OG, Arizona Cardinals

It is interesting that the guard position was floated as a position the team could target by Zac Stevens of DNVR. With the way things have gone along the offensive line this season, it would make sense, as left guard Ben Powers has regressed big-time and looks like a liability out there.

He is also the only Broncos starting offensive lineman not under contract beyond the 2026 season, so this is a player that the team likely moves on from at the end of the season, but his play is hurting the team now, so why not see if the Arizona Cardinals would be willing to trade Isaac Seumalo?

The veteran guard is 33 years old and has also spent time with Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. He signed with the Cardinals this past offseason. He has experience at both guard spots as well and was a Pro Bowler in 2024.

Nothing more than a functional player, Seumalo would present an upgrade over Powers - the former has been a better player in this league for a longer time and is still someone who has enough left in the tank.

Jonathan Taylor, RB, Indianapolis Colts

Well, Jonathan Taylor is still out on the trade market, so why not make the move? The Indianapolis Colts apparently turned down an offer from the New York Giants of a 2nd and 5th-round pick, but as the deadline nears, the Colts might be willing to 'crack' a bit and take the highest remaining offer, even if it isn't what they want.

The Colts are in a pretty tight situation and probably jumped the gun on trading Quenton Nelson and DeForest Buckner. To me, it's clear that Indy is trying to recoup some value lost on those trades with a potential Taylor trade, but it simply does not make sense for this team to hang onto Taylor beyond the deadline.

He's getting into his late-20s and just does not time out nicely with a potential rebuild, and he still can fetch the Colts a decent return. With the Broncos run game continuing to be among the worst in football, there isn't any reason to pass up on this trade.

Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles are selling, folks. This team just traded Jordan Davis to the Jacksonville Jaguars and also recently traded center Cam Jurgens to the Baltimore Ravens. In the offseason, AJ Brown got dealt to the New England Patriots.

Dallas Goedert is a complete tight end - he can line up as an in-line player and block well, and he can also get out into space as a receiver. Denver just does not have a TE who can do everything at the position, and it's clear that the Evan Engram era just hasn't panned out the way we had hoped.

Goedert and the Eagles agreed on a one-year deal worth $7 million through the 2026 season, so he has a very team-friendly deal and would give the Broncos a legitimate threat at the position. Given how active the Eagles have been in their own roster adventures, I would struggle to see how Goedert remains on the team beyond the deadline.
