The Denver Broncos are reportedly prepared to make an aggressive push to acquire a running back via trade, according to a report from Heavy.com. Head coach Sean Payton is said to be leading the effort as the team looks to strengthen its backfield.
The report comes after the Broncos' game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High on November 1, 2026. Payton, who joined Denver as head coach in 2023, has been actively evaluating the roster's needs at the running back position.
Specific trade targets were not named in the initial report, but the Broncos' front office is expected to explore multiple options ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
