Breaking: Denver Broncos Strikly Quickly To Sign $24 Million WR…..

The Pittsburgh Steelers could make a trade with the Denver Broncos for a wide receiver.

PITTSBURGH — It’s no secret that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been looking to work toward a trade that will land them a wide receiver. Following the departure of Diontae Johnson, the Steelers wide receiver room looked a lot more bare than years past.

The most popular option has been San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who notched 1,342 yards on 75 receptions in 2023. That rumor, however, was quelled by 49ers GM John Lynch.

“I promise you, nothing’s going on there,” Lynch said at the NFL Owners Meeting. Following this news, and the failure to land San Diego Charges wideout Mike Williams, the front office has looked elsewhere.

Steelers Now analyst Nick Farabaugh has a different option. He suggests Denver Broncos wideout Courtland Sutton could be a name to watch moving forward.

“If there is one that could be a bigger splash but feels more likely, this one does,” Farabaugh writes. “The Broncos are not in this thing to win it this year; in fact, they might be looking to try to bounce to the top of the draft board for the 2025 season. But Courtland Sutton has the Russell Wilson connection and profiles as the contested catch, big-bodied guy that the team was looking to add when Mike Williams was targeted.”

In 2023, the Steelers had a contested catch rate of 66.7%. Farabaugh describes Sutton as a big-bodied, contested catch-forward receiver. Adding a pass catcher of his caliber “makes sense on multiple levels,” according to Farabaugh.

Following the departure of former first-rounder Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns, the Broncos look to be facing full rebuild mode. When you add the departure of Russell Wilson to the list, the Broncos look primed for another tough year in Colorado.

Notably, Wilson’s departure could play a factor in a Sutton trade, according to Farabaugh. He believes that the fact that Wilson will be throwing the passes in Pittsburgh could play a big factor in Sutton’s interest.

This is the worst time of my favorite time of year. Does that make sense? My draft prep has been done for two weeks. Now….we wait. As Tom Petty said, “The waiting is the hardest part!”

I like when the draft finally gets

The New England Patriots run the 2024 NFL Draft. I’m sure the Chicago Bears are going to select USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the No. 1 overall pick. I believe the Washington Commanders will then take LSU QB Jayden Daniels off the board at No. 2 overall. That leaves the Patriots up next with the third pick.

If the Patriots make the pick that is. I believe the Denver Broncos or the Minnesota Vikings could move into the No. 3 spot if they wanted to. The price would be hefty, but the chance to move that high is there if a team is creative enough to put a package together. Even with a quarterback premium, moving up that high wouldn’t cost that much – so I anticipate the pick could be moved.

I heard back in January that the Patriots loved Daniels, and if they couldn’t get him, they would move back and draft Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. Now in April (the month of lies) all you hear is how the Patriots love Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy or North Carolina QB Drake Maye. I’m not sure if I believe that, as the Patriots might be trying to temp the Vikings (who may love Maye) or the Broncos (who may love McCarthy) to make a move. The Arizona Cardinals have the no.4 overall pick, and they could get a haul for their pick. Perhaps the Patriots want a piece of that action.

here… and it can hurry up anytime it wants to! I know it’s less than two weeks away, but it’s going to feel like FOREVER.

I also like contemplating life and sports when driving around with the top down on my old Jeep Wrangler TJ! The following is a result of those trips during the week.
