The Denver Broncos' offense has been quite the show so far this season.
What type of show? Probably the one that got a lot of hype from a trailer, but then it flopped horribly. The script stunk, and the plot was underwhelming.
Unfortunately, that means that the Broncos could look to move on from one or more talented players from the unit. Wide receivers K.J. Hamler and Jerry Jeudy have been at the heart of many trade discussions.
Could one of them get traded? Both of them? Neither of them?
As of right now, both players are being discussed on the trade block, according to many sources.
K.J. Hamler may be the one that is more likely to get traded, though. His price will be cheaper than Jeudy's for opposing teams, and that's enticing.
Hamler has recorded 40 receptions, 568 receiving yards, and 3 touchdowns in 22 games with Denver.
He may be available from the Broncos for a day three selection in next year's NFL Draft.
On the other hand, Jeudy has proven a lot more during his time with other Broncos. The former Alabama wideout has 114 receptions, 1709 receiving yards, and 5 touchdowns in 33 games.
So far, he may not have lived up to the hype of a first-round wide receiver, but his QB play has been inconsistent at best with the Broncos.
That doesn't help with a wide receiver's development. His abilities are undeniable.
Jeudy's return is a bit more expensive for a team trading for him. That makes total sense for the Broncos.
Some folks around the league think that a third-round pick could get the deal done.
Rumors?
Dan Graziano of ESPN offered some insight into what the league believes the Broncos may do at the deadline.
Jeremy, it sounds to me like a lot of people are watching the Broncos closely, with players such as Jerry Jeudy, KJ Hamler, Bradley Chubb and Melvin Gordon III drawing various levels of interest. It's possible the Broncos are waiting to see what happens with their game Sunday in London before deciding whether to trade away players, because things are already fragile there for first-year head coach Nathaniel Hackett and a give-up move would portend bad things for him.
Watch the Broncos closely over the next week. Multiple players could be on the move.
The trade deadline will be here before we know it, but the Broncos are clearly going to be involved in it.
