I just got off the phone to a friend who works for Fox Sports in Denver. He said there is talk of the Broncos talking to the Rams about trading Bradley Chubb, for Akers and either another player or a draft pick next year. I told him I'd haven't heard anything myself but it would make sense for Akers and the Rams.

Chubb is in a contract year. They could extend the contract (he's only 26) making it fit this year. It's all about the guaranteed money. It sounds like the Broncos want to unload his $12.7M contract. The Rams could turn it into a signing bonus and rewrite the contract over 4 full years with a year or two void years. Chubb isn't an elite edge but he's a good edge who could be better on this DL. He's young enough to warrant at least one more multiyear contract.
