NFL Rumors: Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton Not Likely to Be Traded by Broncos

The Denver Broncos are reportedly holding on to their receiving corps.

Dan Graziano of ESPN reported Wednesday that the Broncos have set high prices for Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton, making them unlikely to be traded during the 2023 draft process. Denver has been open to shaking up its receiver depth chart but not without landing a significant return.

Jeudy and Sutton served as Russell Wilson's top two targets in the quarterback's first season with Denver, but neither had breakout campaigns. Jeudy led the Broncos with a career-high 67 receptions for 972 yards and six touchdowns, while Sutton reeled in 64 catches for 829 yards and two scores.

The Broncos offense as a whole was perhaps the NFL's most disappointing unit last season, with Wilson taking a marked step back from his Hall of Fame-caliber career in Seattle.

Hoping to quickly rebound from last offseason's big splash, Denver made another in sending a 2023 first-round pick and 2024 second-round selection to the New Orleans Saints to hire Sean Payton as head coach. One of the best offensive minds of this generation, Payton went 152-89 in 15 seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

It's likely Payton wants to work with the young Denver receivers himself before figuring out how the roster needs reshaping, hence the high asking price. The Broncos also do not have a draft pick in this class until the third round, so the options for revamping over this weekend are limited.
