NFL teams are interested in Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram ahead of the NFL trade deadline.
Engram "has garnered interest" from other clubs, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. That said, Engram is "considered unlikely to be moved in part because Denver doesn't have a replacement."
That would obviously change if the Broncos manage to bring in a new tight end, and the team has called around "just in case" Engram is moved, according to Fowler.
This is pure speculation, but that report seems like a diplomatic way of revealing that Denver is looking to upgrade the tight end position. If they do bring in a new TE, shipping out Engram would make sense to open up a spot. The 32-year-old veteran has underwhelmed since signing a two-year, $23 million
deal with the Broncos in 2025, totaling 67 receptions for 630 yards and two touchdowns through 25 games.
We know Denver has checked in on Arizona Cardinals star tight end Trey McBride, but he is extremely unlikely to be traded. So, fans will now wait to see if the Broncos land a different TE ahead of Tuesday's 4:00 p.m. ET deadline. We will track all of the latest news and rumors leading up to the NFL's trade deadline on Broncos Wire.
