You are about to start a new QB and you get rid of the best WR you have. John Elway, thank you for being the Broncos GM.

Broncos puts Brandon Lloyd on the trading block
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 13, 2011, 9:21 PM EDT

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.

Yeah, I think Elway is trying to limit Tebow's targets, so he doesn't break all of Elway's records until next year.

They will S4L and then pull an Elway so he can play for the CHIEFS

Hootie · 10-13-2011, 08:17 PM

picked him up off the scrap heap...he's been very good (though not sure he's anything special)...if they can get a 2nd or 3rd for him I'd do it too. It's not like he's super young or anything.

Fritz88 · 10-13-2011, 08:28 PM

Maybe he's unhappy with Teblow time and wants out.

The Pile High version of the "Suck for Luck" campaign.

What are the odds the 2012 #1 overall draft pick winds up in the courts for a decade? Where's Al when you need him

NJChiefsFan · 10-13-2011, 08:38 PM

Too long of a season and too much stress from KC alone to start freaking out about Denver getting Luck. I am going to root for them to win, but I don't have any stress left for this as well.

maybe a 5th or even a 6th

they might be able to pull a 4th if someone is really desperate.

Horrible comparison. Please. HOF vs Hall of Average.

Rumor has it that Mike Klis is a moron... actually it's not a rumor, it's the truth. He sucks as a sports reporter. There's no way the Broncos trade Lloyd unless they get a stupid good offer from a team.

The chefs were in the suck for luck mode just a few weeks ago. You feeling that good about your team now?

No, in fact it's worse. We all know we're not as bad as Indy, Miami, St. Louis, Minnesota, Arizona, or Denver. Now there's no way we get Andrew Luck.
