When the Denver Broncos drafted wideout Jerry Jeudy in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the team believed they were getting a cornerstone of their offense for years to come. But after just three seasons, it appears that the Broncos are ready to move on from Alabama product.
The Broncos have recently signaled the remainder of the league that Jeudy is available in trade talks but are reportedly asking for a steep price. Benjamin Allbright of KOA Colorado reported earlier this week that Denver wants a first-round pick or a high second-rounder and a player in order to part ways with Jeudy.
Several teams are believed to be interested, including the New England Patriots, the Cleveland Browns, and the Dallas Cowboys, but neither has been ready to meet the asking price just yet.
The Broncos are most likely shopping Jerry Jeudy because he hadn’t developed as the No.1 wide receiver they envisioned when they drafted him. The team could also use additional draft capital as they have traded away their high picks to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson and head coach Sean Payton.
Jeudy is coming off his best season as a pro in 2022, finishing the campaign with career highs in receptions (67), receiving yards (972), and touchdowns (6).
