Does Mike Klis think about the Broncos should trade for a running back or tight end?
The Broncos have explored ways to upgrade their offense—but could the trade deadline pass without a significant move? On The Drive, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay talk with Mike about the obstacles facing Denver’s pursuit of Jonathan Taylor, Tony Pollard and potential help at tight end.
Zach makes the case that Pollard could fit better than a costly, high-volume back like Taylor, especially when Denver has to balance winning now with preserving resources for the future. But Mike shares that, according to his understanding, discussions involving Taylor were on pause and Pollard’s asking price had increased after a strong performance.
The conversation also takes an unexpected turn toward tight end. Mike discusses the limited options available and why finding a realistic trade partner could be difficult, even if the Broncos want to add another weapon.
Nothing is settled, and Mike leaves room for the picture to change after Sunday’s games. But his assessment raises a pressing question: when does the price of an upgrade become harder to justify than trusting the roster already in place?
