Broncos' next move after shocking Devaughn Vele trade is painfully obvious

In a move breaking on Thursday, the Denver Broncos traded Devaughn Vele to the New Orleans Saints, and their next move is quite obvious. Trading Vele to the Saints for a pair of draft picks, the Broncos just gave themselves a ton of clarity in their wide receiver room for 2025.

Both Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant seemed to perform well enough this offseason to force Vele off the roster, as the emergence of those two players made Vele's role on the Broncos redundant. The team also signed Trent Sherfield in the offseason to help out at the bottom of the depth chart and for blocking/special teams purposes.
