In a statement that puts an end to swirling trade rumors, Denver Broncos' head coach Sean Payton made it clear on Monday that the team has no intentions of parting ways with any members of their roster, ahead of the looming trade deadline.

Despite a challenging start to the season with a 1-5 record, the Broncos have rebounded in recent weeks, winning two consecutive games thanks in large part to the impressive improvement of their defense. This positive momentum has given rise to speculation that the team may consider trading certain players. However, Payton dismissed these rumors during a press conference held on Monday.

"We're not openly, or even remotely, shopping anyone," Payton emphasized, effectively squashing any speculation of player movement within the team.

While Payton admitted that other teams have indeed reached out to discuss potential trades, he made it clear that the Broncos are not actively looking to make any moves. Although the possibility of trades cannot be entirely ruled out, it seems highly likely that the Broncos' roster will remain unaltered beyond the upcoming bye week.

The Broncos previously said goodbye to veteran edge rushers Frank Clark and Randy Gregory earlier this season. However, Payton's recent statement unequivocally asserts that there are no plans to part ways with any other members of the roster at this time.

It remains to be seen how the Broncos' decision to stand firm on their current roster will impact their performance moving forward. With consecutive victories under their belt, the team appears to have found a winning formula, and they will hope to carry this success into the weeks ahead.

As the trade deadline looms, the Broncos' firm stance may come as a relief to players who may have been uncertain about their future. By affirming their commitment to the current roster, the team signals that they have confidence in the players they have assembled and believe they can continue to improve and compete as the season progresses.

With an eye on maintaining their upward trajectory, the Broncos will now turn their focus to utilizing the bye week to rest, regroup, and prepare for the challenges that lie ahead. Only time will tell if the decision to hold onto their current roster will ultimately pay off in their pursuit of success.
