The Broncos are trying to trade quarterback Mark Sanchez before the NFL’s 75-man roster deadline on Tuesday. A team that would make sense as a trading partner is the Cowboys, who are looking for a veteran backup after losing Tony Romo to another back injury.

But a trade with Dallas is unlikely because they believe Sanchez will be cut, according to Benjamin Allbright of Mile High Sports Radio.

Though unlikely, a trade with the Cowboys or another team is still possible because Sanchez would gain leverage on the open market. If he is released by Denver, Sanchez would have to negotiate a new contract, and multiple teams would likely be interested.

If a team trades for Sanchez now, they would be acquiring the one-year remaining on his contract and his base salary of $4.5 million for 2016. There’s no guarantee that Sanchez will sign for that same price once multiple teams are bidding on him.

Denver has to make a decision on Sanchez by Tuesday afternoon.
