Broncos TE Tony Scheffler Signs Tender, Opens Door For Trade

On Tuesday, Brandon Marshall signed his restricted free agent tender, which cleared the way for the Broncos to trade him to the Dolphins.

On Wednesday, Tony Scheffler signed his tender clearing the way for yet another trade.

Scheffler, like Marshall, hasn't been in good light with Broncos management suggesting to a lot of folks, including SB Nation's Mile High Report, that he could be had in a trade.

My immediate reaction to this was the same as the news for Marshall.  If the Broncos are indeed beckoning for Scheffler to sign his tender, it likely means they have found multiple suitors for his services, and are going to be trading him sooner rather than later.

Scheffler was tendered at the second round level and didn't get any bites in restricted free agency so, if the Broncos are going to trade him, it's a good guess that it'll be for less than a second round pick.
