3 outrageous trades the Broncos would never make but are fun to think about
Three outrageous trades the Broncos could try to make (but shouldn't)
For my last wacky trade, I call up Ran Carthon, the GM of the Tennessee Titans to ask for a couple of veteran players. It's clear that the Titans are headed toward a rebuild in the near future. They began that process by parting with quite a few veteran players this offseason.
And I'm honestly shocked that both Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry are still on the roster. The Titans are simply not a viable team in 2023 and should not be treated as such. So, for this trade, I acquire Derrick Henry who is coming off another great season on the ground in 2022. I also acquire Harold Landry who notched double-digit sacks in 2021 but tore his ACL in the 2022 offseason.
His ACL tear was 10 months ago, so he'll likely be more than ready for week one. Henry does not have any injuries at the moment. Because the Titans have a poor receiving core, I sent them Courtland Sutton who I think has about the same value in a trade as Henry does.
I also sent them the Broncos' first-round pick in 2024, because Landry is an elite pass rusher and is still in his mid-20s. This move would set the Broncos up to win now but also provide a bit of long-term stability with the pass rushers.
So, how did I do? Do any of these trades move the needle for you?
