Broncos named a fit for painfully obvious trade deadline target on offense
Now 6-2 on the season, the Denver Broncos will be 7-2 or 6-3 at the NFL trade deadline, which is on November 4th, right after Week 9 action. They'll be in a legitimate position to add a player of note for the first time in a decade.
But that doesn't mean Denver will make a move. They might stand pat, as the argument for doing so is that they've stacked a ton of wins with the guys they have, so why make a move? On the flip side, the argument is that the
If nothing else, the Broncos are at least making calls, so they could make a move, and they were recently named as a fit for an extremely obvious target to bolster the offense at the deadline.
Bleacher Report names WR Chris Olave a fit for the Denver Broncos at the trade deadline
Here is Brad Gagnon in Bleacher Report on Chris Olave being a fit for the Denver Broncos:
Denver Broncos: Acquire WR Chris Olave from the Saints
Bo Nix could definitely use another weapon, and Olave brings talent and upside to that receiving corps without likely commanding a lot considering the Saints' situation. These teams could also come together in a deal for New Orleans cornerback Alontae Taylor, considering the recent pectoral injury suffered by Pat Surtain.
The bonus trade in here for Alontae Taylor would actually be fun, as Patrick Surtain II is likely missing multiple games, and he's the best CB in the NFL, so adding a player at that position might now be more important than wide receiver..
However, it's not hard to see why the Broncos might need a boost at this position, and these two teams have engaged in a WR trade recently, as Denver send Devaughn Vele to the Saints. With Olave still being younger, the Saints might have some long-term plans to keep him, but if the Broncos make a strong enough offer, I would think New Orleans could pull the trigger.
Chris Olave began his career with two-straight 1,000-yard seasons, but did not reach that mark in dude, as he was injured for a chunk of the year. In 2025, Olave is on pace for 111 catches, 1,069 yards, and six touchdowns, so he's on pace for a good bit of production.
I don't envision the Broncos having to give him a ton for Olave, either, as he'd need a long-term deal. This player-team fit makes a lot of sense.
Giants Set Sky-High Price for Kayvon Thibodeaux: First-Round Pick or Nothing

The New York Giants have made it clear in trade discussions: there is no deal involving edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux unless it includes a first‑round pick. Sources say that the Giants’ front office, led by GM
Why the Giants Are Holding Firm
Thibodeaux, a former standout at Oregon, has been a cornerstone of the Giants’ defense. Despite facing a challenging start to the season, the Giants view him as an integral part of their future defensive plans. The team has made it clear that Thibodeaux’s value is tied to his potential and the long‑term investment they’ve already made in him, especially with his fifth‑year option locking him in through 2026.
“I’m here to prove I’m worth that kind of value,” Thibodeaux said when asked about his future with the Giants. “I know what I can bring to the table. This team believes in me, and I’ve got a lot to prove to them, to my teammates, and to the fans. It’s not just about the numbers — it’s about showing I can be part of something special.”
What the Giants Are Looking For
The Giants are seeking a first‑round pick in exchange for Thibodeaux, which aligns with their long‑term strategy of building a competitive roster while maintaining defensive strength. With other high‑draft picks like
“I’m not going anywhere unless it makes sense for this team,” Thibodeaux added. “I’m all about competing, and I want to be here, making plays that matter. If they move me, it’ll have to be because it makes sense for the Giants, not just for me.”
The Trade Market
While the Giants are firm on their demands, teams interested in acquiring Thibodeaux will have to offer a significant package. With his talent and potential still on display, Thibodeaux remains a highly coveted player, but only at the right price.
“The Giants made their stance clear, and it’s a fair one,” a league source stated. “Thibodeaux has a ton of upside, and if they want a first‑round pick, teams will have to weigh whether they’re willing to meet that price. He’s not going anywhere on the cheap.”
What This Means for the Trade Deadline
As the trade deadline nears, the Giants are standing firm, sending a clear message to other teams: if you want Thibodeaux, you’re going to have to pay the price. The decision to hold onto him or move him will come down to whether the Giants receive an offer that aligns with their long‑term goals.
“I’ll focus on my game, control what I can control,” Thibodeaux concluded. “Whatever happens with the trade talk is up to the front office. But I’m here to give my best, whether in New York or somewhere else.”
The trade deadline will determine if the Giants' high asking price will be met, but for now, it’s clear: Kayvon Thibodeaux won’t be moving unless the offer is right.
