With the Denver Broncos off to a 3-4 start this season, teams have expressed interest in trading for wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and cornerback Chris Harris, sources told Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports.

Denver is also listening to trade proposals for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and has not rebuffed those inquiries to date, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

However, Schefter reports that Denver isn't interested in trading Sanders, who's emerged as the focal point of the passing game with 46 receptions for 603 yards and three touchdowns this season. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020 and is owed $10.25 million in base salary for the 2019 campaign.

Harris is also scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent in 2020 and is owed $7.8 million in base salary for the 2019 season. The three-time Pro Bowler has spent his entire career with the Broncos and has become the leader of the secondary.

With the Oct. 30 trade deadline rapidly approaching, Broncos general manager and president of football operations John Elway has to make some key decisions that could drastically impact his team's short- and long-term forecast.
