Broncos Weigh Trade-Deadline Offensive Upgrades

After rallying past Kansas City 28-24 to reach 6-2 and take the AFC West lead, Denver faces pressure to strengthen its offense while managing limited cap room and future free agents. J.K. Dobbins had 13 yards on seven carries against the Chiefs, while rookie Jonah Coleman recorded 104 yards from scrimmage and scored the winning touchdown, raising questions about the backfield rotation. Coach Sean Payton has publicly backed the group, but commentary urges Denver to pursue a running back before the trade deadline, with Jonathan Taylor among the proposed targets. Another suggested upgrade is Eagles guard Landon Dickerson, as Denver’s pass-blocking has slipped and the team looks to improve protection for Bo Nix. Any move would require weighing its short-term benefit against its cost and Denver’s longer-term roster needs.
