The Denver Broncos find themselves at a crossroads as the NFL trade deadline approaches. With a 4-3 record, they could either bolster their roster or consider trading veterans for future prospects.

ESPN analysts suggest the Broncos are in a precarious position, being neither clear contenders nor pretenders. While they have a strong defense and a promising run game, they may not be Super Bowl favorites this season. The team might benefit from waiting until the offseason to make significant moves.

Potential trades could involve backup quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham or Zach Wilson, especially if they can acquire draft capital. Additionally, targeting New Orleans tight end Juwan Johnson could enhance their offensive capabilities, although concerns about his blocking ability remain.

Ultimately, the Broncos should likely refrain from major trades and focus on maximizing their current roster as they vie for a playoff spot.
