AP According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, if the Jacksonville Jaguars attempt to trade running back Maurice Jones-Drew, the Broncos wouldn’t be interested. “There’s been considerable chatter, but zero reports, that the Broncos would be a possible destination for Maurice Jones-Drew if the Jacksonville running back were put on the trading block. The speculation no doubt has something to do with the fact Jones-Drew’s former coach in Jacksonville, Jack Del Rio, is now the Broncos’ defensive coordinator. “At this point, the Broncos would not be in play. They like the potential crash-n-dash tailback tandem they have in Willis McGahee and Ronnie Hillman, provided Hillman can get his nagging hamstring healed. Together, McGahee and Hillman will make $3.08 million this year. Jones-Drew is protesting his contract that pays him a $4.45 million this year,” wrote Klis.
