The Denver Broncos are in the thick of the championship hunt in 2026 following a massive trade to acquire wide receiver Jaylen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins , but there are many things that can still happen between now and the start of the season.
Teams around the league will be jockeying for position before and after April's draft and we could see dozens of trades before the 2026 season kicks off. Would the Broncos consider trading one of their long-term defensive players? Moe Moton of Bleacher Report feels it could be possible.
Not only does he have the Broncos trading defensive lineman D. J. Jones , but he has them sending him to the Buffalo Bills .
Here was his analysis on the subject: "In 2025, the Buffalo Bills allowed the fifth-most rushing yards, third-most yards per carry and the second-most rushing touchdowns. They need to beef up their defensive front on early downs. Thus far, the Bills have made few notable moves to bolster their interior defensive line, which could be a problem if they rely solely on inexperienced starters and rookies.
