Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel were both interested in Broncos this offseason
The Denver Broncos feel like a destination team again.
Before he was traded from the San Francisco 49ers to the Washington Commanders, wide receiver Deebo Samuel hinted that he was interested in joining the Broncos. The Athletic later reported that Samuel was, in fact, interested in Denver. The feeling wasn't mutual.
More recently, Cooper Kupp made it clear through media outlets that he was also interested in joining the Broncos, but Denver wasn't interested in his price tag.
That's two notable receivers who saw what quarterback Bo Nix did last season and wanted to join the Broncos this spring. Neither of them ended up in Denver, but it's a great sign that the franchise is an attractive option for big-name players.
The Broncos did land tight end Evan Engram, who chose them over the Los Angeles Chargers after receiving a similar offer from Denver's division rival. The future looks bright for the Broncos, and other players across the league have taken notice.
