Cardinals Won’t Trade Trey McBride as Broncos Swing Elsewhere; Chiefs Love Brian Thomas Jr. Amid NFL Trade Rumors

Denver asks about McBride

The Broncos have checked around the league for tight ends and made an inquiry about Arizona Cardinals star Trey McBride. The Cardinals rejected the idea, signaling they have no intention of dealing him.

McBride is from Fort Morgan, Colorado, and played at Colorado State, making the potential fit especially notable. Denver could use another high-level skill player, but the article says the team has also been linked with running backs such as Jonathan Taylor.

The Cardinals are likely to draft a quarterback next year, and McBride is 26 and under contract through 2029. With him unavailable, Denver will need to pursue another option if it wants to make a major offensive addition.

Chiefs eye Jaguars receiver

Jacksonville may listen to offers for Brian Thomas Jr. after receiving inquiries about the young receiver. He played 19 snaps in Thursday night's win over Baltimore and did not make a catch.

The Chiefs remain intrigued by Thomas, according to the report. Their receiving group has faced issues, with Tyquan Thornton out, Rashee Rice dealing with injuries and Xavier Worthy described as inconsistent. A move would bring Thomas to an AFC contender, but whether Jacksonville would trade him to Kansas City remains unresolved.

Deadline could bring movement

The NFL trade deadline is only days away, and the market has been quiet so far this week. The report says activity could increase before Tuesday's deadline. Jonathan Taylor, Josh Sweat and Maxx Crosby are among the prominent names mentioned as potential trade candidates. The latest reports also suggest teams may pursue players beyond the names already widely discussed.

The article begins to describe the Los Angeles Chargers' deadline plans, noting their 0-7 record and saying they could sell veterans for draft capital. However, the supplied text cuts off before explaining the team's reported stance or further details.
