​Broncos urged to make Riley Moss trade decision that makes no sense originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Denver Broncos were in the AFC Championship during the 2025 playoffs, and if it weren’t for an unlucky Bo Nix injury, they might’ve made the Super Bowl.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementSo, it should come as little surprise that the Broncos didn’t make too many changes to the roster and that they’re viewed as a contender once again.However, despite the Broncos being legitimate Super Bowl contenders, Bleacher Report’s Moe Moton is urging the Broncos to trade away Riley Moss for a Day 2 pick in the 2027 NFL Draft. This decision would be a disaster for the Broncos if they actually made it.”Denver Broncos: Trade CB Riley Moss for 2027 Day 2 pick,” Moton writes. “This seems like a questionable move, but Denver selected Jahdae Barron in the first round of the 2025 draft. If the Broncos don’t intend to sign Moss to an extension in a contract year, they should trade him at peak value and elevate Barron to the depth chart before Week 1.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementMoton is urging the Broncos to trade away Moss this summer. The cornerback is in a contract year, and trading him now for a solid return, which they’d surely receive from another contender, would make sense.That is, if the Broncos weren’t Super Bowl contenders. If the Broncos hadn’t just made it to the doorstep of the Super Bowl and had been eliminated by the Buffalo Bills the round prior, maybe this potential trade would make sense.MORE: 49ers predicted to trade for Maxx Crosby during training campTrading Moss for a solid return, especially if it’s a third-round pick, would allow 2025 first-rounder Jahdae Barron to slot into the starting lineup.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBut that is too big a risk for a Super Bowl contender like the Broncos to take. If Barron struggles and Moss thrives, it’s going to be a whole lot harder for Denver to go on a run in the playoffs.Besides, Barron will still have two years of control on his rookie deal through the 2028 season, with a 2029 fifth-year-option to give him the full-time starting job if Moss leaves in free agency.Denver has to try for a title this season, and trading Moss would be a move that’d make no sense. While he’d likely bring back a good return, the stage the Broncos are at now makes a Moss deal potentially disastrous.
