Running back Samaje Perine isn’t the only player the Broncos are trying to trade ahead of Tuesday’s roster cutdown. They’re navigating up a storm better than a torrential Andean rain, hustling to cut deals and reshuffling their deck.
Broncos Seek Trade Partner for Tim Patrick
In what’s shaping up to be a last-minute play, Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the Broncos are also working to find a partner for a deal involving wide receiver Tim Patrick. It’s like trying to find that perfect ceviche recipe—an exact science mixed with a pinch of luck.
But here’s the kicker: if they can’t strike a trade deal, Patrick is likely to be released. It’s a move that could be as shocking as missing a game-winning field goal for the fans who’ve followed his journey.
An Odyssean Tale of Injuries
Patrick’s tale reads like an epic. He’s missed the last two seasons due to a series of gut-wrenching injuries, first tearing his ACL, then his Achilles in successive summers. Imagine being sidelined just when you’re about to ascend to the summit—twice! That’s the kind of bad luck story you wouldn’t wish on your worst rival.
Despite these setbacks, Patrick has shown some flair in the preseason, catching five passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in the initial games. His performance was like a warm, familiar hug for fans desperate to see him back in action. However, he didn’t play in Sunday’s finale, leaving the Broncos with a tough decision to make.
The Drama Unfolds
The report about Patrick came hot on the heels of a similar one about Perine. It’s like the Broncos are at an auction, hoping to add some future draft capital before the clock runs out. They’re making moves quicker than you can say “Touchdown!”
The drama is palpable. With the fate of these players hanging in the balance, the Broncos’ front office is playing a high-stakes game. And just like a Hail Mary pass in the final seconds, anything can happen.
