Royal was placed on the trade block, according to ESPN.com.
Royal has had a groin injury this season, which has led to his mere four catches and 51 yards so far this season. However, Royal is gaining just as much, maybe more, interest than Lloyd.
Both receivers have requested a trade. Both also are in the final years of their contracts, looking to seek a new deal.
Lloyd, after having a fantastic season last year in which he led the NFL in receiving yards, has not been so hot this year, having only one catch in the Broncos' 29-24 loss to the San Diego Chargers, the game where Tim Tebow filled in as starter.
The Denver Post recently reported this past week that the Broncos are looking for a mid-round draft-pick for Lloyd. The Carolina Panthers and Tennessee Titans have been the main teams seeking interest into Lloyd. The 49ers and Bills have also seemed like possible interests, as reported by ESPN Insider.
Other teams that have been in the trade rumors are Indianapolis Colts 2010 draft pick, Jerry Hughes, and Philadelphia Eagles' defensive end, Juqua Parker.
The Rams have been seen as a potential suitor for Royal, as Josh McDaniels is currently the offensive coordinator for St. Louis and coached Royal when he was with the Broncos. Other possible suitors are the Redskins, Titans, and Bills; according to ESPN Insider.
The Broncos are really exploring right now into the trade business. We'll see how it all turns out sooner or later.
