The Denver Broncos explored a potential trade for Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, but the Cardinals declined to move the player, according to a report from SB Nation.
The inquiry comes after the two teams faced each other on October 25, 2026, at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where McBride lined up against Broncos safety Brandon Jones during the contest.
Arizona's refusal signals the organization's intention to retain McBride as a core piece of their offense. The tight end has developed into a reliable target for the Cardinals since entering the league.
Denver's interest highlights their ongoing search for offensive weapons at the tight end position as they evaluate roster options during the season.
