Backing up Engram are Nate Adkins and Adam Trautman, two tight ends who aren't heavily involved in the offense. Adkins has six catches for 48 yards and a touchdown, while Trautman has seven catches for 58 yards and a touchdown.

The Denver Broncos could make an unexpectedly prime trade destination for Miami Dolphins star Bradley Chubb before the 2025 deadline.

ESPN cooked up a hypothetical trade that sent Taysom Hill and a 7th-round pick to the Broncos in exchange for a 6th-round pick.

The Denver Broncos are rumored to be in the market for a tight end ahead of the Nov. 4 trade deadline and two teams they should be on the phone with are the Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens.

Another potential area of need (though not for quantity) is wide receiver — specifically, an upgrade over Troy Franklin at WR2, opposite Courtland Sutton. If Payton goes hunting there, he might look to his former employer, the New Orleans Saints, who are rumored to be dangling WRs Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed on the block.

The Denver Broncos could approach the trade deadline differently after third-year offensive lineman Alex Palczewski started in Week 7.

The Broncos just completed one of the most shocking comebacks in NFL history, reeling off a 33-point quarter to stun a Giants team that held a 19-0 lead at one point. The win moved Denver to 5-2, which remains good enough for the AFC West lead.
