Would you trade a 4th/5th for Brandon Lloyd?

With the NFL trade deadline looming, the Broncos have been in talks with other teams regarding Pro Bowl receiver Brandon Lloyd, according to three NFL sources.

The Broncos are believed to be seeking anywhere from a third to fifth round draft pick in return. There have been "three or four" teams who have expressed interest in Lloyd, according to a source.

A quick google search doesn't turn up his agent, but he's not represented by Rosenhaus.

It might only be a one year deal, since he's an impending free agent, though who knows with the way Hurney has been making it rain.

He'd immediately upgrade the number two receiver role, though it might be Rims on a Pinto the way the defense has been playing.

in a fuging second

dude makes some of the most ridiculous catches I have ever seen. a lot of Cam's overthrows would be sure completions to Lloyd.

and if we did trade for him, would we get a compensation pick(prob a 4th depending on how well he does) if he walks?

Why would we trade anything for him if its going to be a one and done. We not going to win the Superbowl this year(sorry), so its not like he's going to push us over the top. I would trade anything unless it comes with an extension

^^^ this

And if we're going to sign him to a sizeable extension then you might as well wait till the offseason and spend that same amount of $$$ on a free agent WR and save your draft picks.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
