Overview
- CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports Denver is “perhaps the biggest contender” to acquire a wide receiver before the Nov. 4 deadline, and no deal has been completed yet.
- At 5-2 and atop the AFC West, Denver pairs a top-tier defense by EPA/play with an offense ranked 17th in scoring that remains heavily reliant on Courtland Sutton.
- Reported potential targets include Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, Rashid Shaheed, Jakobi Meyers and Allen Lazard, with division dynamics potentially complicating a Raiders-to-Broncos move for Meyers.
- Denver holds all its draft picks through Round 5 plus an additional fourth-rounder from the Saints, but has limited cap space around $5.1 million as Russell Wilson’s $32 million dead charge lingers.
- Analysts note Bo Nix’s rookie deal provides flexibility, and one media proposal floated an Olave trade package (2026 second and 2026 fourth via New Orleans), which has not been reported as an active negotiation.
