But over the last 10 days, it's amped up." "I never heard that Denver was involved in any talks for AJ Brown.. If the Eagles are gonna trade him it makes sense to do it post June 1" ~ Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) While Denver was eyeing Waddle to land a new top wide receiver for Nix, it didn't get involved in trade talks with the Eagles and Howie Roseman for Brown. The Broncos surely kept tabs on Brown just in case, as any properly run team would, but never actually made an effort to acquire him as they did for Waddle.
