Broncos Stand Pat at Trade Deadline as Payton, Nix Emphasize Roster Chemistry in 7-2 Start

Team leaders say preserving continuity during a six-game win streak outweighed deadline additions.

Overview

  • Denver made no trades before the deadline and remains atop the AFC West at 7-2, tied for the NFL’s best record entering Week 10.
  • Sean Payton said he and GM George Paton discussed potential moves daily but ultimately chose to keep the roster intact.
  • Bo Nix said the Broncos “have all the pieces” and warned that midseason additions can disrupt a good thing, stressing a focus on internal improvement.
  • Coverage reported the Broncos explored receivers and tight ends, including interest in Miami’s Jaylen Waddle, with a first-round price tag cited as too high.
  • Nix has 1,976 passing yards and 17 touchdowns through Week 9, drawing notice for elite fourth-quarter production despite earlier-game inconsistency.
