I wouldn't be shocked if the Broncos did make a move especially if they win this weekend, but if they can beat the Ravens I'm guessing they will also feel pretty darn good about their roster and what they are building.

If we trade anyone away Baron Browning would make the most sense to me although he shouldn't be expensive this offseason with his injuries. Deondre Tillman is sitting inactive and is a solid pass rusher.
Cooper is a priority to re-sign, IMO and Bonitto will hit FA the year after. Browning probably the odd man out of the 3 based on injuries and really hasn't played that well this year. Up until this year he was playing really well but the injuries still a concern. Will be interesting what he does. Could also end up on a 1 year deal if he can't shake the injury bug down the line this year.
If we receive anyone in a trade it should be a TE...
I think Strnad has been good and while Barton has sucked at times he has been good at times where we probably don't make a move there. Kwon Alexander is also helping this team each week with his ability to cover and playmaking ability. Obviously not an every down backer but we might get by with Singleton on IR. Not much else we can do there. Strnad has taken advantage of the opportunity. Always liked him since he was at Wake but he didn't take advantage of the opportunity two years ago when he got the chance.

From people I have talked to the Broncos have made some calls. TE seems to be the one position they are willing to trade a day 2 pick to get a starting caliber type guy. They wouldn't mind finding a #2 RB and about a #3 or #4 type WR but both of those would be late day 3 picks.
I know the player they really really would love to get is Njoku, but Cleveland especially after winning this past Sunday is very dug in to not trade him. He had a great game for them and seems like whenever a QB not named Watson is in the game Njoku becomes a top-5 TE once again. He is also still relatively young so while they might view this season as a bust, they might be looking at Njoku as part of the foundation for the future.
Other names I have heard mentioned connected to the Broncos would be Evan Engram (might be the best TE fit in the entire NFL with Nix because of his ability to win in the short and intermediate where Nix wants to go) and Austin Hooper is another name I have heard.

I get the TE need and a good TE would really benefit Nix, but I really don't want this team to give up much draft capital. Tired of having a skinny draft due to lack of capital.

To me it depends on the TE. Adding a guy like Njoku would be huge for this offense this year and beyond. He is only 28 right now so still plenty of quality years left and would be a huge weapon for Nix with his want of throwing over the middle. He is also a plus in the run game as a blocker.
