Denver opted to retain its starting WR at the trade deadline.
engaged in"active discussions" ahead of Tuesday's NFL trade deadline but"never came close" to dealing away some of its top talent, including wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, ESPN's Adam Schefter
Per Schefter, an undisclosed team offered the Broncos third- and fifth-round draft picks in exchange for Jeudy — and were promptly denied. “I think of all the players, the one that was generating the most interest — Jerry Jeudy — got calls from a few different teams," the league insider said Wednesday in an appearance on 104.3 The Fan."But Denver wasn’t gonna give him up unless it got back a significant return, and the Broncos never felt like what they were getting back was worth giving up Jerry. So they held onto him.
Jeudy, 24, is coming off a two-catch, 50-yard effort in last week's upset of the Kansas City Chiefs during which he scored his first touchdown since December 2022.Jeudy will continue running as a starting WR in head coach Sean Payton's offense, but the Broncos may face a difficult decision next offseason with his fifth-year option — a fully guaranteed $12.987 million salary — set to go into effect. There remains a chance he's playing out his final games in an orange and blue uniform.
Elsewhere on the roster, according to Schefter, the Broncos received inquiries on fellow receiver Courtland Sutton as well as safety Justin Simmons and center Lloyd Cushenberry. None successful.“Never came close on Surtain. Never came close," Schefter emphasized."They think he’s the best player on the team. To trade him, it would’ve taken a Jalen Ramsey package — and then some, which no team was gonna do. Teams called, teams checked. But no team came close to doing that.
