The Denver Broncos made a single trade before the NFL deadline, sending outside linebacker Baron Browning to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for a 2025 sixth-round draft pick. Head coach Sean Payton described the move as an amicable split, allowing Browning to seek more playing time in a contract year.

Browning's limited snaps this season, coupled with the emergence of other players, made him expendable. Despite his previous promise as a pass rusher, he now faces a new chapter with the Cardinals, expressing gratitude for their interest.
