NFL Trade Verdict

Even Trade

Denver traded Baron Browning to Arizona for a 2025 sixth-round pick, moving a former third-round linebacker/edge defender before his next contract decision. The Broncos chose draft value and roster flexibility over waiting on Browning’s long-term fit. A sixth-round pick was not a premium return, but it reflected the market for a rotational pass rusher with contract considerations approaching. Arizona bought a useful defensive flyer at a manageable price.
