Kiszla: Broncos would be crazy to trade Pat Surtain II, but smart to part ways with Jerry Jeudy

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 14:57:34 GMT

Burn it all down? As tempting as an angry response might be to a football team going nowhere, a fire sale is no way to rebuild the Broncos.So don’t bring me some hair-brained idea about trading cornerback Pat Surtain II for a bounty of future draft picks. I will gladly tell you, however, that it’s time for receiver Jerry Jeudy and the Broncos to go their separate ways.Lose at home on Sunday to the New York Jets, the only NFL team with a longer playoff drought than the Broncos, and the fingerprints of our old friend Nathaniel Hackett could be on more pink slips handed out in Denver.Drop to rock-bottom of the AFC standings with a 1-4 record, and there would be no need for the Broncos to tank for a shot at the No. 1 pick in the next year’s draft, when they could sell off veteran talent at the Oct. 31 trade deadline and watch a diminished roster get bullied for the remainder of this lost season.There would be no shortage of potential trade targets in a frustrated and anxious Denver lock...

We grew,” Jokic said at Nuggets training camp. “My horses everywhere — I have them in France, Italy, Serbia. They’re all winning races, so I’m happy.”Then, catching himself, he added: “They don’t need to be winning races. That’s my hobby. I just wish that they are healthy and that they run good.
