Broncos Attempted ‘Outrageous’ Trade for $76 Million All-Pro: Report

The Denver Broncos attempted an ambitious trade inquiry for Arizona Cardinals All-Pro tight end Trey McBride ahead of the November 10 NFL trade deadline, according to reports from ESPN's Adam Schefter and Ian Rapoport. However, Arizona made it clear that they had zero intention of parting with McBride, prompting the 6-2 Broncos to look elsewhere for reinforcements at tight end.

McBride, who previously signed a four-year, $76 million extension, earned All-Pro honors in 2025 after recording 126 catches, 1,239 yards, and 11 touchdowns. Denver has sought alternatives at the position due to struggles from veteran Evan Engram and the preseason departure of 2026 draft pick Justin Joly to the Miami Dolphins.
