The Denver Broncos are gearing up for an intriguing offseason as Sean Payton strategizes to propel the franchise toward Super Bowl glory. After last year's challenges, particularly on offense, it's clear where the focus needs to be.
Bo Nix is in need of a standout receiver to complement Courtland Sutton, along with a reliable running back to pair with J.K. Dobbins-assuming he returns.
Enter the bold prediction that could reshape Denver's roster: a trade for running back David Montgomery and receiver A.J. Brown.
Conor Orr of Sports Illustrated has projected that Payton, motivated by his close call with Super Bowl LX, will dive into the second to fourth rounds of the draft to acquire these veterans. This move would continue last season’s aggressive strategy to enhance the defense, aiming to keep Denver competitive.
Acquiring both Montgomery and Brown could be a game-changer for the Broncos. While it might cost them some draft picks, the potential payoff is huge.
A.J. Brown's proven capabilities would give Nix and Sutton a formidable duo, creating a nightmare for opposing defenses trying to cover both threats.
Montgomery's powerful running style would likely secure him a starting role, bolstering the run game alongside Dobbins and R.J. Harvey. Should these trades come to fruition, Denver could easily position itself as a top contender in the AFC.
