Many in Broncos Country wanted the team to be aggressive at the trade deadline and acquire a player or two. The 'top prize' seemed to be Jaylen Waddle, and there were rumblings that the Broncos had serious interest.

In the end, though, it seems like the price the Miami Dolphins were asking for Waddle was too high for the Broncos to pay, and that might end up being the better thing for the team in the end. And to be fair, this team is 8-2 with 'their guys,' so that might not have given GM George Paton a reason to splurge on a deadline target.
