NFL Trade Rumors: Teams Who Need to Trade for Denver Broncos WR Brandon Lloyd

The NFL trade deadline is approaching fast, and the Denver Broncos have put star wide receiver Brandon Lloyd on the trading block, according to CBS News.

Lloyd is a top wide receiver who went to the Pro Bowl last season and is one of the most dependable receivers in football.

There are several teams who are in need of a legitimate No. 1 receiver to improve their team heading into the second half of the season.

Let's take a look at three teams who need to make a trade for Brandon Lloyd in order to make a real run at the playoffs.

1) Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills' offense has been, surprisingly, one of the best in the entire league thus far, and adding a top receiver like Brandon Lloyd would make them a real contender to win the AFC East division.

Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick has been great this season, and giving him another good passing option along with Stevie Johnson would create a really dangerous offense.

The Bills need to make this trade not only for the on-field reasons, but the message sent by management to the fans and players that the team is committed to winning NOW is important.

2) St. Louis Rams

The St. Louis Rams have had injury concerns at wide receiver this season, and with running back Steven Jackson as their only legitimate offensive threat, the Rams cannot make the playoffs.

Sam Bradford has had a poor sophomore season and needs another weapon at receiver.

Lloyd would be great for the Rams' offense because he can serve as a deep threat and a possession wide receiver.

The Rams play in the worst division in football, the NFC West, and making this move could help them win seven to nine games, which would likely be enough to make the playoffs.

3) Tennessee Titans

Since losing Kenny Britt for the season with an injury a few weeks ago, the Tennessee Titans have not filled his role as the team's No. 1 receiver.

Lloyd would give veteran quarterback Matt Hassellbeck a great receiver to use in any game situation.

With the Houston Texans failing to take control of the AFC South division, the Titans may be one bold move away from making an unexpected run at the playoffs.

Acquiring Lloyd would make them a real threat to Houston's division title dreams.
