Denver Broncos Rumor Reveals Failed Trey McBride Trade Attempt: 4 Other Impact TE Targets Before the Deadline

The Denver Broncos, chasing the AFC West crown and a top conference record, are scrambling for a tight end before the trade deadline. A reported attempt to acquire Arizona Cardinals star Trey McBride fell through, prompting the Broncos to target four realistic options: veteran Dallas Goedert (Eagles), former Broncos Michael Mayer (Raiders), seasoned Dalton Schultz (Texans), and three‑time Pro Bowler Mark Andrews (Ravens). Each player offers a different blend of production and cost, with the Eagles and Texans likely to move their veterans for draft picks, while the Raiders and Ravens could consider deals despite division and playoff pressures. The article outlines the trade angles and potential price tags as Tuesday, 4 PM ET, approaches.

Red Wings: Detroit expecting 2 injury reinforcements on road trip

The Detroit Red Wings anticipate the return of forwards Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton during their four-game road stretch from Saturday, Nov. 7 to Nov. 14. Coach Todd McLellan says both players should be active before the trip ends, giving him extra depth at center and wing as the team faces the Avalanche, Coyotes, Oilers and Lightning. Rookie Michael Brandsegg‑Nygård is also showing promise, while defenseman Albert Johansson’s timeline remains uncertain.

The Daily: Red Wings Finding Center Depth ; Road Trips Won’t be Easy

The Detroit Red Wings open a four‑game road trip at Colorado, aiming to snap a two‑game skid while still searching for identity. Sophomore center Emmitt Finnie leads the youthful core with 7 goals and 4 assists, filling in for injured Dylan Larkin, and the team hopes returning wingers Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton will bolster the middle soon. Rookie defensemen Anton Johansson and William Wallinder have each scored twice, signaling a stronger blue line. Goaltender Daniil Tarasov starts hot, though wins lag, and AHL call‑up Sutter Muzzatti returns from injury, scoring for the Griffins. The trip also includes matchups with the Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Rockies have a free agency problem

The Colorado Rockies lag far behind every NL West rival in free‑agent activity, signing just 90 total agreements (23 MLB, 67 MiLB) from 2020‑2026 versus at least 137 for each other team. Their top ten free‑agent contracts total $239 million and have produced a negative –3.5 rWAR, with Kris Bryant, Michael Lorenzen and Jurickson Profar each delivering below‑replacement value. By contrast, the Dodgers’ comparable deals generate +68.6 rWAR at $11.4 M per win, while the Padres achieve +39.7 rWAR for $6.2 M per win. The analysis shows Colorado’s insular approach is costing the club both quantity and quality of talent, raising questions about its free‑agency strategy.

Broncos Checked On Availability Of Cardinals TE Trey McBride

The Denver Broncos have inquired league‑wide about acquiring Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, according to Adam Schefter. Arizona firmly rejects any trade talks.

He recently secured a four‑year, $76 million extension—the richest contract for a tight end—with $43 million guaranteed. In 2026, he’s logged 66 receptions, 544 yards and five touchdowns over eight games.

Broncos rumors: Denver ‘outrageously’ checks in on potential Trey McBride trade

The Denver Broncos are probing the tight‑end market ahead of the Nov. 10 trade deadline, even reaching out about Arizona Cardinals All‑Pro Trey McBride. Despite Denver’s 6‑2 AFC West lead, starter Evan Engram has only 13 catches for 136 yards and a TD in eight games, prompting the “outrageous” inquiry—McBride hails from Fort Morgan, CO, and once idolized the Broncos. McBride leads the league with 66 receptions, including a TD against Denver in Week 7. The Cardinals rebuffed the request, and no offer or compensation was confirmed, leaving Denver to continue its search for tight‑end help.

NY Giants, Broncos & Vikings Lose MAJOR Running Back Trade Option in New Week 9 Rumor

With the NFL trade deadline looming, the New York Giants, Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings lose a major option: Derrick Henry will not be on the market until after Nov. 10. Teams eyeing a running back upgrade must now focus on Jonathan Taylor or Tony Pollard, but a Taylor deal could demand a first‑round pick or a package akin to the 49ers‑Panthers McCaffrey trade (future second‑ to fifth‑rounders). Henry, despite his age and lower contract, is off‑limits until the deadline, and league sources say the Ravens have no intention of moving him before the trade window closes.

Josh Allen Opens Up on Needling Ex-Broncos GM Every Time They Meet After 2018 Draft Snub

Josh Allen, now 30 and leading the Buffalo Bills to a 6–1 record, still ribbings former Broncos GM John Elway for passing on him in the 2018 draft. Allen, who broke the franchise record with his 260th touchdown pass in a 36–10 win over the Ravens on Nov. 1, recounted a misleading draft‑day text that convinced him he’d join Denver. He jokes about the snub whenever they meet, especially after Broncos edge‑rusher Bradley Chubb—who Elway chose over Allen—signed with Buffalo in March 2026. Elway has admitted the miss was his biggest front‑office regret, adding more spice to Allen’s ongoing taunts.

Colorado, coming off two straight losses, averages four goals per game and holds a 20% power‑play, slightly below Detroit’s 22.8%. Key injuries include Marco Kasper and Mason Appleton for Detroit and Josh Manson for Colorado.

Scaling the Rocks: Projecting Charlie Condon’s MLB production

Charlie Condon stays at the top of the Rockies' first-base prospect list, ranking third in Matt Heckman's projection model that forecasts a .251 average with about 29 home runs, thanks to elite exit velocity and barrel rates.
