Broncos put Brandon Lloyd on the trading block

[.infamous]

It looks like we’ll actually have an interesting name to talk about leading up to the NFL trading deadline.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Broncos have been in talks with teams regarding wide receiver Brandon Lloyd. Klis says “three or four” teams are interested, with Carolina and Tennessee believed to be among them.

It’s rare for anyone of note to be dealt before the deadline because teams are usually loath to admit it’s a rebuilding year so early in the season. But Lloyd is in the last year of his contract and the Broncos aren’t going to be the same pass-happy team they were under Josh McDaniels. It’s clear they are rebuilding.

Denver also has wideouts Demaryius Thomas and Eddie Royal returning from injury soon. Second year pro Eric Decker has been a solid starter while Royal is out.

Lloyd should be an attractive trade chip. He makes only $1.395 million and led the league in receiving yards last year. Lloyd leads Denver with 283 yards (in four games) this year. He missed one game due to injury.

Go get him Titans.

he's worth what? a 4th rounder at best?

But yeah, I think if he gets traded its to the Titans.

That'd be a nice marriage. I could definitely see that happening.

At least a 3rd rounder and another late pick, but most likely a 2nd rounder alone.

Shit, I hope he gets traded. I need his fantasy points lol.

 

[The Young One]

This is clearly a S4L move. Screw you Elway.

 

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Titans could definitely use him, I could see that happening.
