Broncos Trade for Njoku, Boost Contender Status

About this episode

The Denver Broncos have made significant moves this week, including trading for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and signing safety Tycen Anderson, while also restructuring contracts and releasing players to create cap space. With twenty million dollars remaining, theyve addressed their roster by re-signing tight end Evan Engram and giving Adam Trautman a three-year extension. However, the tight end group is still a concern due to inconsistencies in blocking. The team is now considering former first-round pick David Njoku, who could strengthen their two-tight-end sets and support the run game. This move aligns with their win-now strategy before Bo Nixs cap hit increases.
