Should the Broncos trade for Saquon Barkley, or trust the running backs they have?

The Broncos need a spark on offense—but where should it come from? With rookie running back Jonah Coleman expected to return from injured reserve against the Arizona Cardinals, Zach Bye and Phillip Lindsay discuss how much opportunity he should get in a backfield still searching for consistency.

J.K. Dobbins’ uneven production and RJ Harvey’s receiving ability raise questions about how Denver should divide the workload. Could giving Coleman a bigger role help establish the run and take pressure off Bo Nix? The guys explore what the rookie could bring and why this matchup presents an opportunity to try something different.

Then Zach raises a much bigger possibility: pursuing Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. It’s a hypothetical trade discussion—not a report of negotiations—but it opens up a debate about how aggressively Denver should address its offensive problems. Should the Broncos look for answers within their current backfield or consider a major move?
