The defense will be fine, with or without Bradley Chubb. Who, unless the return is a first-round pick or two very tasty Day 2 selections in next spring’s NFL Draft, you keep.
For the sake of his sanity and the sanity of Broncos Country, the best move the Broncos can make on Trade Deadline Tuesday would be to announce that coach Nathaniel Hackett is giving his play-calling sheet, and play-calling duties, over to somebody else on game day.
And by somebody else, we don’t mean Justin Outten.
Somebody proven. Somebody with bona fide NFL chops.
