NFL Trade Rumors: Broncos' Chris Harris Drawing Interest from 'A Couple Teams'

Don't expect the Denver Broncos to trade cornerback Chris Harris during the NFL draft Thursday, although there are reportedly multiple teams eyeing him.

Mike Klis of 9News reported there are "a couple teams" that have expressed interest even though there is "no deal expected tonight." However, he suggested the Broncos could look to move Harris as soon as Friday to a team in need of cornerback depth that passed on the position in the first round.

This comes after Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Tuesday that Harris requested a trade or a contract extension.

Klis noted he's seeking a deal worth at least $15 million a year.

James Palmer of NFL Network added more context:

Harris' contract is set to expire following the 2019 season, when he will make $7.8 million in base salary, per Spotrac.

The Kansas product is one of the most proven and durable slot cornerbacks in the league. He has missed a total of five games through his first eight seasons—all with the Broncos—and has 19 career interceptions.

He also helped the Broncos win the Super Bowl in the 2015 campaign and notched a sack in the victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Harris is just 29 years old and still in his prime after tying his career high with three interceptions in 2018. His position is all the more valuable as offenses shift even more to multiple-receiver looks and rely on the aerial attack, and there are apparently a number of teams that envision him in their defensive backfield if the Broncos aren't willing to pay him.
