5 players Broncos could target before NFL trade deadline
· Yahoo Sports
The NFL's trade deadline is one day away, and 9News has reported that the Denver Broncos are expected to pursue options at all skill positions: running back, tight end and wide receiver.

However, Pat Bryant returned from injured reserve last week, and coach Sean Payton has talked about not having enough targets to go around for players like Marvin Mims. So it doesn't seem that receiver would be high on the team's wish list.
Running back is a different story, and tight end could be as well. So we've put together a quick list of five notable players the Broncos could target ahead of the NFL's trade deadline.
5 players could target before NFL trade deadline
1. RB Jonathan Taylor: He is the name to watch leading up to the trade deadline. But would the Broncos be willing to trade a second-round pick (and more) to the Colts and then pay him $16 million in 2027 and nearly $18 million in 2028 before Taylor becomes a 30-year-old free agent in 2029? It would be an extremely aggressive move with plenty of risk involved.
2. RB Breece Hall: He's younger than Jonathan Taylor, he's cheaper than Taylor, and he's a skilled receiver out of the backfield (something Denver will miss while RJ Harvey is sidelined). The Jets have indicated they don't want to trade Hall, but they're 2-7 and Braelon Allen is playing well, so Denver should check in.
3. RB Tony Pollard: He would be a one-year rental, but Pollard has totaled 665 yards from scrimmage and scored six touchdowns through eight games. Depsite their 1-7 record, the Titans apparently aren't interested in trading Pollard, but it's still worth making an offer.
4. TE Trey McBride: The Cardinals "made it very clear" they have no intention of trading McBride, but the Broncos have checked in on the tight end. He's extremely unlikely to be traded, but we do know that Payton loves McBride. A more realistic tight end option might be Dallas Goedert of the 2-7 Eagles.
5. RB Kenny Gainwell: He wouldn't be a flashy addition like Taylor or Hall, but Gainwell totaled 73 receptions in Pittsburgh last fall. Denver could use that kind of receiving threat out of the backfield, especially while Harvey is sidelined.
