    Two Trade Options Not Yet Discussed

    Sources: Broncos also gauging interest in Royal
    http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7110891/denver-broncos-gauging-interest-eddie-royal-sources-say
    Brandon Lloyd is not the only Denver Broncos wide receiver who's on the trade block. Eddie Royal also is, and he is generating as much, if not more, interest around the league than Lloyd, league sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.


    Brandon Lloyd, who led the NFL in receiving yards last season, is not the only Denver Broncos wide receiver who's on the trade block.

    Eddie Royal also is, and he is generating as much, if not more, interest around the league than Lloyd, league sources tell ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

    ...
    Other names being kicked around the league as potential trade candidates as Tuesday's trade deadline approaches are former Indianapolis Colts first-round pick Jerry Hughes
    Hughes has great speed off the edge, he's similar size to Moats but more athletic. Royal gives us that speed to take the top off the coverage we currently lack.

    So we are going to pilfer the Colts for all their good players, LOL ?? Who do you want us to get out of that group?

      Pretty good with the LBers we have right now...let them play and develop.

      WR's are notorious for changing teams and dropping production...even if we did snag Royal, I wouldn't expect too much out of him until next season, when he might replace Easley or Parrish on the roster.

        What about these LB's make you not want to try and improve them?

          For those wondering about contract situations:

          Royal has a $555K salary this year and becomes a free agent in 2012.

          Hughes is signed through 2014 with yearly salaries of 405K, 635K, 870K, 1.095m per year in order from 2011-2014.

            They will improve with playing time, (and they're really not too shabby right now) which they won't get if we keep bringing shiny new toys into the fold.

            If you sign another LBer right now, you might as well just tell Merriman or Kelsay they won't be around next season (which I might be OK with, actually).

            LBer is the last position, maybe along with defensive line, that we need to spend a draft pick on to attempt to strengthen. CB or oline, maybe even WR, but not LBer. Would be wasting a resource, IMO.

                What do you think it would take to land Jerry Hughes? I remember before the draft a couple years ago, Buddy Nix talked specifically about Hughes and seemed to love him.

                  Why are the Colts looking to move Jerry Hughes?

                    Probably mid round pick (3rd would be my guess) he isn't seeing much time.

                        1 sack thus far combined from all LB, and while they got decent pressure last week nothing to me has indicated that they aren't too shabby. OLB are struggling to shed blocks and get to the QB, ILB are solid but very old.

                        Hughes could play inside or out and would be our most athletic and explosive athlete off the edge.

                          trade for both of them.

                            Just fire Edwards. That will improve the defense more than the available players

                              We have two 4th round picks. I'd offer one for each player.
