Chris Harris collected three All-Pro nods and is on the short list for top slot corners in NFL history, while Aqib Talib was 4-for-4 in Pro Bowls as a Bronco. The Broncos have enjoyed talented corners for most of this century. The 2022 All-Pro most recently displayed his coverage prowess against Stefon Diggs on Monday night. Some around the Broncos’ organization view Surtain as the most talented corner they have come across, Schefter adds. The younger Surtain went to the Broncos at No. Broncos GM George Paton was a Dolphins exec during part of Patrick Surtain Sr.‘s tenure in Miami, and the Saints attempted to trade up for the Alabama prospect in 2021. Surtain also has some pre-Denver ties to both the Broncos’ current power brokers. Payton’s team kept Marshon Lattimore on his rookie deal through his 2021 option year Surtain on this contract represents one of the most valuable commodities in the game. The second-generation corner can be kept on his rookie contract, once the fifth-year option becomes official, until 2025. But Ramsey had aimed to be moved no speedbumps have occurred during Surtain’s time in Denver. It took two first-rounders for the Jaguars to trade Jalen Ramsey in 2019, his fourth season. Surtain, 23, staying on his current course will call for an easy fifth-year option decision by May and put him on track for a record-setting extension. Surtain is off to a strong start, joining Dallas’ Micah Parsons and San Francisco safety Talanoa Hufanga as the only first-team All-Pros from the 2021 draft class. None of the proposals moved the needle, with Schefter adding the Broncos did not consider trading their top player. They are believed to have set the price of two first-rounders to even begin discussions, but ’s Adam Schefter notes seven teams still contacted the Broncos regarding the All-Pro cornerback’s availability. Leading up to the deadline, the Broncos had made it fairly clear they were not looking to move Surtain. While offers came in for Jerry Jeudy, teams also explored Patrick Surtain.

The team has gone from 1-5 to 4-5 in Sean Payton‘s first season, now residing in a glut of AFC teams vying for wild-card spots. Following their walk-off win over the Bills, the Broncos may have made the right decision in standing pat at the trade deadline.
