Sean Payton implies an NFL team wanted a 2nd-round pick from Broncos

“I don’t think we even got close to discussing someone seriously,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said after the NFL trade deadline.

The Denver Broncos sent outside linebacker Baron Browning to the Arizona Cardinals this week in exchange for a late-round draft pick.

Broncos general manager George Paton and coach Sean Payton decided to part with one player, but Denver did not acquire any new players ahead of the NFL’s trade deadline.

Payton was asked about not bringing in any new talent after Wednesday’s practice.

“I like this group and then it’s just a matter of who’s… We weren’t considering giving up a second-[round draft pick],” Payton said. “Or, in other words, I think a lot of it is ‘who’ [is available]. The NFL train, I talk about it all the time. We don’t know who’s driving it yet, but we listen to it, that’s fine. When you really look at it closely. The phone rings, we pick up and yet we have to look at it in the eyes of what’s best for our team.

“We didn’t feel like… I don’t think we even got close to discussing someone seriously. Some teams will have a player that’s available — well that’s different — they’re available in their price range. But hey. We’re focused on this team.”

Payton seemed to imply that the Broncos did have conversations with other teams about potential trades, but the price tags were simply too high.

Payton obviously did not reveal which players they called about and which team seemingly asked for a second-round pick. Some fans wanted Denver to trade for Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku or Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins. It wouldn’t be surprising if either team wanted a second-round pick for those players.

With the trade deadline passed, the Broncos can only add free agents from now until the spring. Silly season is over. Now attention turns toward the second half of the NFL season.

Insider believes Steelers pursued D.K. Metcalf at trade deadline

After an eventful trade deadline, insider Jeremy Fowler believes Pittsburgh was one of several teams in inquire about a D.K. Metcalf trade.

It appears Pittsburgh’s trade to acquire WR Mike Williams, which Steelers fans have excitedly embraced, may not have happened if the Seattle Seahawks hadn’t treated trade talks as a “nonstarter,” per insider Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

In an ESPN article co-written with fellow insider Dan Graziano, Fowler revealed several interesting and previously unheard details from the trade deadline. One notable scoop was Fowler’s claim that not only did Pittsburgh “scour the earth for receiver help,” but the ESPN insider also believes the Steelers were one of several teams to inquire about a possible trade for Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf.

While a Russell Wilson-Metcalf reunion would have been an amazing sight for fans of the Black and Gold to behold, the trade would likely have been far too expensive for Steelers’ GM Omar Khan‘s tastes.

There is no refuge in looking back at what could have been, as the team now has a bona fide WR2, and the Wilson-Williams combo could be ‘DangeRuss.’

Jerod Mayo shares honest opinion of Patriots’ quiet trade deadline

Jerod Mayo comments on the Patriots’ quiet trade deadline

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo wasn’t exactly sure why the Patriots didn’t get any deals done ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline.

However, he’s also taking more of a long-term view of the situation in New England. They are a rebuilding team looking to get better in the future. That fact isn’t lost on the first-year NFL head coach.

“I’m not sure. For us, it’s about value. It’s about thinking about the present and also trying to get better in the future,” Mayo said in a team-provided video, when speaking with media members on Wednesday.

There were talks of the Patriots potentially being sellers ahead of the deadline with players like K.J. Osborn, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton being mentioned as potential trade targets.

Fans were hoping to see the team be buyers to help fill some of the many holes on the current roster. There’s still a pool of talent to pick from in free agency, but fans might have to wait for the 2025 offseason to experience the major changes they are hoping to see.

Broncos’ updated depth chart following the NFL trade deadline

Here’s a look at the Broncos’ updated depth chart following the NFL trade deadline.

After trading outside linebacker Baron Browning to the Arizona Cardinals, the Denver Broncos have updated their depth chart ahead of Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last week, the Broncos elevated linebacker Kwon Alexander and fullback Michael Burton to the game-day roster, so we left them on the below depth chart, just note that they are not currently on the active roster.

Here’s how the depth chart stands going into Week 10.

Instant analysis of quiet trade deadline for Patriots

The trade deadline came and went without any movement from the Patriots

New England Patriots coach Jerod Mayo called the trade deadline a “bunch of hype” during an appearance on “The Greg Hill Show” on Monday.

It would seem as if those comments were a strong foreboding of what was to come because the trade deadline came and went without so much as a peep from the Patriots.

There was an early report that multiple teams had called about veteran wide receiver K.J. Osborn, but a move never came to fruition. Osborn and Tyquan Thornton were widely viewed as the players most likely to be traded in New England, and both remain on the roster post-trade deadline.

The only move by the Patriots was shipping linebacker Joshua Uche off to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round draft pick last week.

Outside of Uche, the Patriots weren’t buyers or sellers at the deadline. But that also doesn’t mean they were sitting on their thumbs and not looking for an opportunity to make a move.

It takes two to tango in a trade, and the Patriots might have been in a situation where the right players didn’t come available. As Mayo alluded to in his interview, it isn’t like teams are lining up looking to trade away their starting left tackle.

Players like that are hard to come by, and the Patriots will likely have to wait until free agency or the 2025 NFL draft to address that position. That doesn’t mean they can’t sign a current free agent, such as former Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowler D.J. Humphries, to help out in the present.

The Patriots are a rebuilding football team that should leave no stone unturned in their efforts to get better today. However, it’s also clear that the real legwork of the rebuild will come in the 2025 offseason.
