ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have agreed to a trade ahead of next week’s 53-man roster deadline.
Denver has agreed to terms on a trade with the Saints to acquire a 2026 fourth-round pick and 2027 seventh-round pick in exchange for wide receiver Devaughn Vele, the team announced Wednesday.
A 2024 seventh-round pick, Vele caught 41 passes for 475 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games during his rookie season in Denver. His most productive game came in Week 12 against the Raiders as he caught six passes for 80 yards.
The Broncos’ trade follows their preseason win over the Cardinals in which second-year wide receiver Troy Franklin and rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant each caught four passes. Franklin recorded 67 yards and two touchdowns, while Bryant posted 70 yards.
Courtland Sutton and Marvin Mims Jr., who are listed as the starting wide receivers on the team’s unofficial depth chart, did not play in the game.
