Don deal: The Broncos surprised the supporters by acquiring a second elite player who is capable of…
Since the Denver Broncos won the 2016 Super Bowl, there hasn’t been much for fans to rejoice over.
One writer has a trade suggestion that would give head coach Sean Payton “the saddest QB room of all-time” in order to address persistent questions at quarterback.
FanSided’s John Buhler suggested that the Broncos trade Zach Wilson to the New York Jets in exchange for wide receiver Courtland Sutton.
In this proposal, the Broncos would also receive a 2025 sixth-round pick and a 2024 fourth-round pick (No. 111 overall). Considering that Denver “needs draft capital so badly,” Buhler justified the decision.
In an email dated March 30, Buhler stated, “From Denver’s perspective, you are not just getting Wilson over on an expiring deal ahead of what will almost certainly be another lost year for the franchise.” “But the Jets are also giving you two picks.” Not only do you have a failing former BYU quarterback, but you also have something else in addition to a fourth-round pick this year and a sixth-round pick in 2026.
In the 2021 NFL Draft, New York selected Wilson second overall out of BYU. In 34 career games, Wilson has completed 57% of his passes with 23 touchdowns and 25 interceptions.
Even though cutting Sutton would be difficult, Buhler maintained that the move was essential for the Broncos’ future.
“Denver should keep offloading expensive assets to raise draft capital. The Broncos could be a formidable team by 2028 or earlier, if they execute this rebuild well, according to Buhler.
