The Denver Broncos made a big splash earlier this week when they agreed to trade for Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, and they might not be done making moves.
Following the first week of NFL free agency, Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated shared key takeaways from the early moves, and his post included this short nugget on the Broncos: "I’m not sure the Broncos are done yet at tight end. Denver has had interest in Dallas Goedert, and David Njoku is still unsigned."

Goedert never ended up hitting free agency as the Philadelphia Eagles pushed back his contract void date twice before eventually giving him an extension. The Broncos apparently would have been interested if Goedert hit the open market.
The Denver Post has reported that the Broncos were also interested in Chig Okonkwo, but his price was too high. The most notable remaining tight end available is Njoku, as Breer noted. Njoku, set to turn 30 this summer, visited the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday.
As the roster stands now, Denver currently has Evan Engram, Adam Trautman, Nate Adkins, Lucas Krull and Caleb Lohner at tight end. Regardless of whether or not the Broncos add a veteran tight end, the team seems likely to add more depth and competition at the position during the NFL draft next month.
