The Broncos traded second-year wideout Devaughn Vele to the Saints on Wednesday, which brings back memories of the Demaryius Thomas trade to the Houston Texans back in 2018. If he plays, Vele's first game as a Saint will be against his former team, so it'll be interesting to see if he suits up.

As Denver’s locker room echoes with the empty rustles of equipment staffers and laundry duty, Jahdae Barron lingers.

The Broncos are approaching Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season. It's time to explore the trade options Denver may have.

Running back Royce Freeman (a third-round draft pick in 2018) signed with the Chicago Bears. Cornerback Michael Ojemudia (a third-round pick in 2020) landed with the Dallas Cowboys. And wide receiver Juwann Winfree (a sixth-round pick in 2019) joined the Houston Texans.

A 2024 seventh-round pick out of Utah (No. 235 overall), Vele had a very productive rookie season. He eclipsed Franklin on the depth chart to start seven games, hauling in 41 receptions for 475 yards and three touchdowns.

The Broncos traded Devaughn Vele. So who is now in line to make the initial 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 season?

On Monday, in a collaboration you may not have seen coming, the more than 20-year-old shoe brand, Crocs, announced the "NFL x Crocs Collection" with several teams, including the Broncos.

The Broncos are particularly top-heavy at defensive tackle, with starter D.J. Jones and veteran backup Malcolm Roach penciled into significant roles. But questions persist about the thinned-out reserve unit comprised of Jordan Miller and Kristian Williams, the latter of whom was inactive at Tuesday's practice.
