Thread: Broncos in possible trade for Peterson?

Personally i would love to have Peterson on this team. I havent heard anything on this but saw it and figured i would post it in case anyone else has heard anything about this circulating.

That looks about as credible as if one of us posted it.

Yea, but im desperate at this point. Lol

I've been following it on Twitter all day hoping for something credible to confirm this story but right now haven't found anything. I'll add I am hoping it's true but I'm also hoping we don't trade a first round pick for him and instead send a impact player with a sexy conditional pick to go with him. Denver would need to open some cap space to make this happen and trading DT would do just that. So would some creative restructuring and possibly trading another high cost vet.

“Rumors are......(meaning I’m starting the rumor)

hopefully they trade keesum for him

The talk has been gaining some traction. A few of the local radio personalities have been throwing it around, as well as talk on twitter. At this point it is nothing more than speculation, but typically, when this speculation starts, there's something in the background going on to start it.

I don't know that we're going after Peterson, but I would be shocked if we weren't trying to make a move somewhere to shore up our secondary.

I've long believed that we've been staving off a rebuild and that it's actually weakened us long term. To get Peterson we would be trading picks just to add a great player, but not one great enough to swing the tides, so to speak.

It would be a mistake.

If we aren't close by the end of the year, we really do need to blow up the team.

Define "blow up the team". We have A LOT of youth starting right now. How many of our game day players wear SB50 rings?

What I like doesn't matter.

King is about to release his inner Joel.

Sure it does, it's just a discussion - we've no power here (being at Dove Valley).

Move on From ES, DT, Von Miller, Wolfe, etc. Obviously the contract specifics will dictate which moves are actually made, but that's the gist of it. You might keep DT or ES as a security blanket for the first round QB we should be drafting, and we should obviously cut CK.
