After taking down the Philadelphia Eagles in Philadelphia in Week 5, the Denver Broncos had a much better matchup for Week 6, or they thought. They took on the winless New York Jets in London, but the Jets gave them a run for their money.
Bo Nix was held to just 174 yards and one touchdown while the offense could only manage 78 rushing yards. Luckily for them, their defense showed up and held the Jets' offense to only 137 combined yards.
Nix could use some more help with his wide receiving core. They could use a true No. 2 wide receiver to step up when Courtland Sutton is not at his best, like on Sunday.
Broncos linked to Raiders star wide receiver as trade deadline looms
One player who was looking to be moved from his team before the NFL season even kicked off was Jakobi Meyers. He and the Las Vegas Raiders could not agree on a contract extension, and Meyers is currently in the final year of his contract.
The team refused his trade request, citing his importance to the team. But this team is now 2-4, and could look at trading some players and getting some resources for the future. PFF's Bradley Locker could see this happening, and he points to the Broncos as being a potential fit.
"Pete Carroll's first season with the Raiders has been a disaster, with the team having only an 8% chance to make the playoffs through five games. With Meyers on an expiring deal and Las Vegas drafting both Jack Beck and Dont'e Thornton Jr. in April, the veteran could be expendable."
Locker also points to the Pittsburgh Steelers, New England Patriots, or San Francisco 49ers as being logical trade candidates as well. If Denver wants Meyers, they will surely have to show it.
