Denver Broncos trade away wide receiver, opening door for Troy Franklin's 2025 breakout
Amid a breakthrough training camp by former Oregon Ducks wide receiver Troy Franklin, the Denver Broncos traded away a fellow receiver.
Former Broncos wide receiver Juwann Winfree has signed with the Houston Texans, according to his agent Mike McCartney. Winfree will get the chance to work with Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud and fit into that young offense.
The game will be locally televised in the Denver market on KTVD with Steve Levy (play-by-play) and Ryan Harris (analyst) providing commentary while Cynthia Frelund and Scotty Gange report from the sidelines. Out-of-market fans can also stream the game live on NFL+.
7-8. ILBs Jordan Turner and Karene Reid: Turner impressed with five tackles, three quarterback hits, 1.5 sacks and one tackle behind the line of scrimmage on Saturday. One week earlier, Reid had two tackles, one interception and one pass breakup. Both should be practice squad targets if they clear waivers.
NFL teams must cut their rosters from 90 to 53 by 2 p.m. on Aug. 26. Every year, much is made about players being sure bets to get claimed by other teams, and every year the number is lower than expected — often less than one per team. Payton thinks his team will be getting poached this summer rather than doing the poaching.
After starting their summer slate with a 2-0 record, the Denver Broncos are set to wrap up their preseason schedule this weekend. The Broncos kicked off preseason with a 30-9 win over the San Francisco 49ers on the road in Week 1, and they followed that up with a 27-7 victory at home against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 2.
The Denver Broncos made an unexpected trade, and it bodes well for rookie third-round draft pick and wide receiver Pat Bryant.
