NFL Network's Taylor Bisciotti reported that Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton suffered a torn ACL while training away from the team's facility. He was likely headed out the door before the injury took place. It was believed Hamilton would be traded before Ian Rapoport reported that a trade was in the works, and would likely be finalized in the coming days.


NFL insider Benjamin Allbright gives the impression that it was the San Francisco 49ers that were the team interested in acquiring Hamilton, a fourth-round draft pick by the Broncos in 2018. While it's unlikely that Denver would have received anything more than a lower-round draft pick or a reserve player from San Francisco, any negotiations have obviously been tabled due to the latest development.

Allbright adds that other teams were also interested.


Hamilton, 26, registered 23 receptions for 293 yards with two touchdowns through 16 games with the Broncos in 2020. He has caught 81 passes for 833 yards with five touchdowns through his three NFL seasons.
