Broncos Trade Pitch Lands 6-Foot-3, 252-Pound Pro Bowl Sledgehammer

A trade proposal suggests the Denver Broncos pursue Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl running back Derrick Henry before the NFL trade deadline. Mile High Huddle analyst Nick Kendell floated a proposal where Denver acquires Henry and a 2028 seventh-round draft pick in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick and a 2028 sixth-round pick, citing Baltimore's struggles after quarterback Lamar Jackson was placed on injured reserve.

Josh Buckhalter notes that Henry's contract makes him an appealing and manageable financial target for Denver head coach Sean Payton's offense. Through the midpoint of the season, Henry has recorded 632 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 158 carries, with analysts suggesting Baltimore could seek trade value ahead of an impending roster bonus.
