The Denver Broncos season is looking dire after they spent so much to get Russell Wilson in 2022.
With their defense being the only bright spot, some believe the team should trade those players for draft picks.
One player who stands out is Bradley Chubb, who’s playing on his fifth-year option.
If the Broncos can’t win on Sunday, and afford him next season, trading him makes sense.

So what three teams should call about the young linebacker who’s on his final contract year?
3. Miami Dolphins
If the Miami Dolphins want to make the playoffs, they need Chubb on defense.
While their defense has held in key moments this season, they fell apart when Tua Tagovailoa was injured.
Having Chubb gives the Dolphins an added layer of security on defense.
With that energy he brings, the Dolphins could give the Bills a run for the AFC East again.
2. New York Giants
The New York Giants are winning games, despite many doubting their chances this season.
However, they need a little extra help with their defense.
While they are 6-1, their run defense is horrible, allowing 144.4 yards per game and 5.7 yards per carry.

With Chubb, they will have a linebacker who can stop the running game.
It will also keep them in playoff contention in a hot NFC.
1. Arizona Cardinals
The NFC West isn’t out of reach for the Arizona Cardinals just yet.
While the team’s defense had a great night against the New Orleans Saints, they need a little extra help.
With Chubb, the Cardinals defense will have a one-two punch with their front seven.
J.J. Watt can help Chubb on defense, allowing him to finish 2022 on a dominant note.
