As time ticks down to the NFL trade deadline at 4:00 pm ET (2:00 p.m. MT) on Tuesday, the Denver Broncos have not just stood pat; they have made several calls regarding some of the best running backs and tight ends on the market, including Indianapolis Colts runnning back Jonathan Taylor and Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride.
Although the McBride trade talks went virtually nowhere, the Broncos may be increasingly determined to improve their rushing attack, which is among the league's worst at mid-season. Denver has failed to produce a 100-yard rusher in a game since October 2025, when J.K. Dobbins had 111 yards when the Broncos beat the Dallas Cowboys.
With that in mind, CBS Sports' Jordan Dajani predicted 10 trades that could reasonably
happen before the deadline hits on Tuesday. At No. 5 on his list, Dajani believes that Denver could trade for Hall for the price of just a third-round draft pick.
"Breece Hall signed a three-year, $43.5 million deal this offseason after being slapped with the franchise tag," Dajani wrote for CBS. "However, Hall's quad injury opened the door for Braelon Allen, who has really taken advantage of his opportunity. He rushed for a career-high 147 yards against the Raiders last week.
"The Broncos' rushing offense entered Sunday ranked seventh-worst in the NFL. While rookie Jonah Coleman has flashed in spots and the injured RJ Harvey is a weapon as a receiver out of the backfield, Hall would immediately upgrade an inconsistent offense that has legitimate Super Bowl aspirations."
While all that sounds great, and could definitely and instantly boost the Broncos' rushing attack, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has reported the Jets want to hang onto Hall now, and in the future.

It remains to be seen if Denver pulls the trigger on a high-profile trade for Hall or Taylor, or anyone else. The Broncos have the perfect opportunity to focus all their time and energy on the next nearly 24 hours at the trade deadline with a bye on the books in Week 10.
