Brandon Marshall on T.J. Ward: 'We better not trade the homie'

NFL Network reported on Tuesday morning that the Broncos are listening to trade offers for Pro Bowl safety T.J. Ward. Trading a 30-year-old Ward would make sense, but coach Vance Joseph seemingly shot down the idea after practice on Tuesday.

“I haven’t heard that about T.J.,” Joseph said. “I’ve been on the practice field. He’s one of our better players so I would be surprised if he was [on the trade block]. But I have not heard that.”

Despite Joseph denying knowledge of any Ward trade talks, NFL Network’s report was confirmed by the Denver Post’s Nicki Jhabvala, who reported on Tuesday evening that the Broncos are “both making and fielding trade calls” about Ward.

Here’s how linebacker Brandon Marshall reacted to the trade buzz:

Marshall also retweeted this tweet from former Broncos receiver Ed McCaffrey . . .

Marshall and Ward have been teammates in Denver since 2014.
