Broncos CB Chris Harris demands trade
Chris Harris is one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL, and thus he understandably wants to be paid like one. Harris is set to make $7.8 million in 2019, but wants a deal that will pay him $15 million per year.
The Broncos don't have much money available and could trade Harris rather than pay him. Here are some teams that could trade for Harris:
Indianapolis Colts: The Colts have the most cap space available, with nearly $60 million left to spend. They also have two second-round selections. They're desperate for cornerback help, so they make the most sense as a trade partner for Denver.
Houston Texans: Like the Colts, Houston has two second-round picks to trade. The Texans also have a huge need for a cornerback. Outside of the offensive line, this is Houston's greatest area of need. Furthermore, the Texans have the second-most cap space in the NFL.
San Francisco 49ers: The 49ers are another team with plenty of cap space (fourth-most) and a huge need for a cornerback. They don't have an extra second-round pick like the Colts or Texans, however.
Detroit Lions: The Lions have a decent amount of cap space (eighth-most in the NFL) and they possess a dire need for a cornerback. They don't have any extra draft choices to trade, however.
New York Jets: The Jets acquired some big names this offseason, but they may not be done. They have a quarterback under a rookie contract for a while, so they can afford to go "all in" and acquire a talented cornerback, which is a huge need for them. They don't have a second-round pick at the moment, but they could obtain one by trading down from No. 3.
Cleveland Browns: Cleveland's top-remaining need after all the moves it made this offseason is cornerback. The team doesn't have too many draft choices; otherwise, it would be higher on this list, given that it has plenty of cap space.
Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys should be involved in this trade. They have an average amount of cap space remaining, but Jerry Jones seems "all in" with this team right now, and yet still needs a cornerback upgrade.
