After falling to 1-5 on Thursday night, the Denver Broncos appear ready to pack it in for the season.

"Denver will listen, as Payton said, on pretty much anyone, and that puts receivers Jerry Jeudy and Courtland Sutton in the spotlight," Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote.

Jerry Jeudy, a 2020 first-round pick, could be the more expensive of the two receivers. According to Breer, the Broncos were seeking a first-round selection in return before the 2023 draft. At that price, Jeudy is less enticing because he's never lived up to his billing as a future No. 1 receiver.

There are and will always be coaches who believe they can "fix" a player, however. A team that thinks it can get more out of the 24-year-old will be willing to deal.

The Carolina Panthers could be among those teams. The Panthers want a capable receiver to pair with rookie quarterback Bryce Young. According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, Carolina wants a "No. 1 caliber guy," and while Jeudy isn't one yet, the Panthers might believe he can be.

The New England Patriots should have interest in any capable receiver that becomes available. The Patriots continue to field one of the league's most underwhelming receiving corps, and it has stunted the growth of third-year quarterback Mac Jones.

If New England has any hope of climbing out of its 1-5 hole, it needs to improve Jones' supporting cast ASAP.
