The Denver Broncos find themselves in a competitive position for an AFC playoff spot with a 4-3 record, surpassing preseason expectations. However, the team is still in a rebuild phase, leading to speculation about potential trades as the deadline approaches.

Defensive tackle D.J. Jones, a key player in the Broncos' defense, is mentioned as a possible trade target for the San Francisco 49ers. Despite his strong performance this season, the Broncos may consider offers, but only if they are substantial, given his importance to their playoff aspirations.
