Broncos OLB Bradley Chubb knows his name is amongst the trade rumors as the deadline approaches and made it known that he would like to stay with the team that drafted him for the long haul.
“I would love to be in Denver long-term,” Chubb told the Associated Press. “I’ve got my house, I got everything, I’m comfortable. At the end of the day, it’s between my agent and [Broncos general manager] George [Paton], whatever they decide to do, but like I said I’m focused on winning these games.”
“I’m focused on these guys right here — orange, white and blue — making sure I do everything I can to be the best leader I can be,” Chubb added. “I’m focused on where I’ve got to be. I’m focused on where my feet are right now.”
According to two anonymous general managers, the Broncos could be deadline sellers with players like TE Albert Okwuegbunam, WR Jerry Jeudy, WR K.J. Hamler, and OLB Bradley Chubb.
“I don’t get the feeling they feel like they have to trade one of them, but they are definitely listening,” one GM told Jason La Canfora. “I think Jeudy might not be the best fit there. It would take a lot, but it’s not like Chubb is untouchable, either. I’d put it this way — they aren’t being passive.”
“They are done with Jeudy.” said the other GM. “I don’t think they get more than a [third-round pick] for him, but I think that’s over. And they think they get more for Chubb than they got for [future Hall of Fame pass rusher Von] Miller. I’m not sure if they end up beating that, but I think they’ll get enough to move him.”
