Broncos TE Albert Okwuegbunam Drawing Trade Interest

Okwuegbunam was a healthy scratch this past Monday and hasn’t really distinguished himself in a crowded position room so far in 2022. 

His name has come up in trade rumors earlier this week as well. 

Okwuegbunam, 24, was a three-year starter at Missouri and earned second-team All-SEC honors in 2017. The Broncos selected him with the No. 118 pick in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. 

Okwuegbunam is in the third year of a four-year, $4,044,042 rookie contract that included a $749,042 signing bonus.

In 2022, Okwuegbunam has appeared in five games for the Broncos and caught seven passes on 11 targets for 50 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
