While Broncos rumors have been taken up with contract tenders today, an emerging rumor involving a trade for one of the biggest-name cornerbacks in the NFL is starting to take shape.
According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Denver Broncos could be seriously mulling over a potential trade with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the services of 3-time First-Team NFL All Pro cornerback Darrelle Revis.
Rumors swirling around Tampa Bay are indicating that the Buccaneers could be looking to get out from under Darrelle Revis' contract which carries $65 million in base salary and $80 million in salary cap hits for the next five seasons.
With the departure of veteran cornerback Champ Bailey, several NFL sources are indicating that the Denver Broncos will be in the market for a top-flight shutdown cornerback--something that, despite the heft of his contract, Darrelle Revis provides.
Darrelle Revis made the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his seven-year career in 2013, posting 43 tackles and 2 interceptions in what was an otherwise dismal 4-12 campaign for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
