Report: Broncos tried to trade Paxton Lynch

but no one wanted him According to 9NEWS Denver’s Mike Klis Denver Broncos T-Shirt , the Broncos did attempt to trade quarterback Paxton Lynch before waiving him earlier today but no one was interested in trading for the former first-round pick. Klis notes the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys as two teams who made sense but neither team was willing to give up assets for Lynch. In Carolina, Lynch who was compared to Cam Newton prior to the draft would have fit in their system and the Cowboys tried to trade up for Lynch before the Broncos outbid them so they made sense as well. However, neither team valued Lynch enough to trade for him.Being a young/former first-round player almost always gives some trade value but that appears not to be the case with Lynch. I mean, hell, Trevor Siemian and Christian Hackenberg were traded for late round picks Denver Broncos Hats , but not Lynch. That is pretty damning in my opinion.I assumed the Broncos would at least get a conditional 7th round selection or something for Lynch, but guess not. Sucks letting a former first-round pick go without recouping any value in return but it is what it is. Glad to see Broncos GM John Elway admit his mistake and move on. This was the right move for the Broncos and I am glad they made it. As I wrote this morning, Elway’s comments about Lynch didn’t seem very encouraging so I wasn’t surprised to see this happen this morning. I am glad we can finally put the whole Lynch vs. Siemian era behind us and we can focus on Case Keenum and the intriguing Chad Kelly.Von Miller: “Good play by the Raiders” in trading Khalil Mack The Denver Broncos had to grind one out at home against the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Down two scores late in the fourth quarter, the team rallied to take their first lead of the game with a mere six seconds left in regulation.One might wonder how the outcome would have changed had the Raiders had edge rusher Khalil Mack on the field. After the game, the Broncos own elite edge rusher Von Miller was asked about not having to face Mack on Sunday.“I really didn’t think about Khalil Denver Broncos Womens Hoodie ,” Miller said. “I mean, yesterday, yeah a little bit. We’re not going to be playing him today. But he’s on a whole another team in a whole another division in a whole another conference. It would’ve been, but they traded him away. Good play by the Raiders.”Good play, Oakland. Good for Denver. Miller also talked about Todd Davis and the steak dinner he owes him for wrecking a strip-sack on Derek Carr in the first half due to a defensive holding penalty.“Todd Davis Womens Customized Denver Broncos Jerseys , probably more than a steak dinner,” Miller said. “I don’t know what he has. I’ve got to talk to him. Why does he owe me a dinner? Did you watch the game? It was early in the game. I had Derek Carr. It was one of the few plays that he held the ball. I was able to get in and get a sack and that forced fumble and we recovered it. But we had to go back because Todd was doing these walks with whoever it was out there (laughs).”Despite having that strip-sack negated, Miller still finished with one sack on the day to bring his two-game total to four. On a day when Carr was getting the ball out with a lightning focus, it was good on Miller to even have a chance to get the one he got.Davis better spring for a pretty good steak this week, though.
