The Denver Broncos explored a potential trade for Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride, but the Cardinals declined to engage in discussions, according to a report from SB Nation on Saturday.
The inquiry comes after the two teams faced each other on October 25 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, where McBride, wearing number 85, was photographed reacting to Broncos safety Brandon Jones during the third quarter.
McBride has emerged as a key offensive weapon for Arizona, making him a valuable asset the organization appears unwilling to part with. The Broncos, seeking to strengthen their tight end position, reportedly made contact but were rebuffed.
No further details on the timing or specifics of the Broncos' approach were disclosed. The Cardinals' refusal signals their intent to retain McBride as a core piece of their offense moving forward.
