The Denver Broncos could do themselves and quarterback Bo Nix a favor before the 2025 NFL trade deadline passes.

There was a chance that the Broncos would pursue a tight end at the Nov. 4 trade deadline due to Nate Adkins’ injury and Evan Engram’s inefficiency, but after signing veteran Marcedes Lewis, the Broncos will likely shift their focus to offensive line depth.

The Broncos tried (and failed) to claim two tight ends off the NFL's waiver wire on Monday. Denver put in claims for Brendan Bates and Ben Sims, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but those players were awarded to the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, respectively, because those clubs were higher in the waiver order than the Broncos.

The Denver Broncos had one of the more random free-agent visits on Tuesday, working out 41-year-old tight end Marcedes Lewis, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Trade deadline signings are often based on finding experienced players who have the background and chops to get the job done, and the Denver Broncos are executing perhaps the ultimate version of that with the signing of 41-year old tight end Marcedes Lewis to their practice squad.

Broncos are linked to a Saints wideout, just not Chris Olave, as Denver targets a true field-stretching receiver.

The Broncos put in a couple of waiver claims on tight ends Brendan Bates and Ben Sims, but they went to the Cleveland Browns and Minnesota Vikings, respectively, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Tight end isn't the only position the Broncos are prioritizing with the trade deadline inching closer, Schefter claims.

A few trade rumors from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler amount to great news for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buffalo Bills and Denver Broncos, all of whom are believed to be in the market for a wide receiver.

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 will be a team to watch as the the 2025 trade deadline approaches, as the situation is developing in their favor.

On Tuesday, ESPN's Benjamin Solak proposed the Broncos send McMillian and a 2026 seventh-round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round selection and a conditional 2027 sixth-round choice.
