You'd be swapping strength for strength. I guess maybe Chubb could take over but then you're not in possession of another pass rusher. Both Ray and Barrett are gone, most likely.
It wouldn't do much other than MAYBE make Denver a WC contender.
If we are trading Von, we better be getting first round picks out of it. Trading Von = rebuild.
Trading Von would be a bad idea and I really don’t support it, but Stafford would be a nice get and no matter what anyone thinks, he’s a more important piece than Von. He is an elite passer. He’s played on a sorry team with no running game and no real defense for a long time. He would make our offense much better. Stafford is a top talent who’s been wasting it in Detroit.
Trading Von does create a hole, but we’re could re-sign Barrett to play opposite of Chubb and have some money to spend in FA. We’d still have the #10 overall pick to use on a guy like Devin White an the QB problem would be solved for another 5-6 years with no rookie development and no risk of busting like a draft pick. It’s an interesting thought.

Who knows if Herbert is good again? Locker looked like the top pick, regressed in his last college year, and then tanked in the NFL.
If there's a guy we think is legitimate, next year's class is irrelevant. We might take White, since we have a HC who values the position, and I'd be happy. But if they had a round one grade on a QB they can get, and they don't, they've failed.
Maybe, but 5-6 years of Stafford would be more beneficial than 3-4 of Von, IMO. Picks themselves are a crapshoot. No draft pick is guaranteed. Von has what, 3 years left on his contract? So a max of 3 years he’ll still be a Bronco. We won’t sign him to a big contract at 33-34 years old. He’ll start getting year to year deals like Ware did at that point and it won’t be from us because his money will go to Chubb’s second contract.
Make no mistake, I love Von and want him to retire as a Bronco, but a franchise QB is, in fact, more important. I think we’re at a crossroads. If we’re lucky, we can draft a franchise QB and restore this franchise to greatness with the new coaches we’re hiring and a new outlook. Unfortunately, I have a feeling we’re gonna have to find our future QB in another way.
