Denver Broncos Win
Denver traded Bradley Chubb to Miami for a first-round-centered package, cashing out a talented edge rusher before a major contract decision. The Broncos made a disciplined roster-value move by converting Chubb into premium capital instead of carrying the full long-term risk of a major extension. Miami acquired a real pass-rush piece, but injuries and contract cost made the Dolphins’ side riskier. Denver’s return also became part of the broader Sean Payton compensation chain, giving the trade additional franchise-building significance.
Denver Broncos Received
- pick 2023 1st round pick (29th overall subsequently traded, Bryan Bresee ), 2024 4th round pick (121st overall subsequently traded, AJ Barner ) and Chase Edmonds
Miami Dolphins Received
- pick Bradley Chubb and 2025 5th round pick (155th overall, Dante Trader )
