The struggling Denver Broncos have received multiple trade inquiries about star pass-rusher Bradley Chubb and wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler, ESPN reported Sunday.

The Broncos (2-4) brought a three-game losing streak into their Week 7 game against the visiting New York Jets.

Denver could be interested in acquiring draft capital after trading two first-round picks and two second-rounders to the Seattle Seahawks to acquire quarterback Russell Wilson in March.

Chubb, 26, recorded 5.5 sacks in the first six games but is playing in the final season of a four-year, $27.3 million deal he signed in 2018 after the Broncos selected him fifth overall in the NFL draft. He is earning $12.7 million in 2022.

Jeudy, 23, had 17 catches for 290 yards and two touchdowns in the first six games in his third season since Denver drafted him in the first round (15th overall) in 2020.

Hamler, 23, had just four receptions for 109 yards and no scores in five games entering Week 7. The Broncos took him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Jeudy and Hamler are both playing on their rookie contracts.

According to ESPN, the Broncos are also open to trading tight end Albert Okwuegbunam — one of five TEs on their roster. Also a 2020 draft pick (fourth round), Okwuegbunam, 24, had seven catches for 50 yards in five games heading into Sunday’s contest.
