Despite picking up a win against the Arizona Cardinals last Thursday night, the Denver Broncos still find themselves in a tough spot as they are almost certainly heading for a rebuild. Before their most recent win, the Broncos were in the midst of a four-game losing streak. Quarterback Case Keenum has struggled to replicate the season he had a year ago and head coach Vance Joseph is coaching for future.
Given the situation, other NFL teams have taken notice and are looking at Denver's roster for potential deals to obtain some valuable players ahead of the trade deadline. According to league sources, one of the players that has gained interest from multiple teams is veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders.
Per Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports:
Given all of that, rival executives are poring over Denver's roster and eyeing up possible trades ahead of the deadline (which comes a week from Tuesday). Even before the season began, there were strong rumblings of the Broncos trading a veteran receiver like Emmanuel Sanders, 31, or Demaryius Thomas, 30, and league sources said several teams have interest in Sanders, who is much more productive and has a much lower contract; his trade value is significantly higher.
The Broncos' cornerbacks are also reportedly generating interest from other teams: Bradley Roby who is a pending free agent is someone young enough to possibly fit into the Broncos' future even with a rebuild in order. Corner Chris Harris is 29 and signed to a team-friendly deal through 2019, is being coveted by other teams as well.
The Broncos' next five games are against likely playoff teams in the Chiefs, Texans, Steelers, Chargers and Bengals. This next stretch would make it easier for GM John Elway to decide what route to go in terms of his teams future.
