According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Denver Broncos have traded outside linebacker Malik Reed to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a late-round draft pick.

The exact compensation has yet to be released.

Reed seemed like a logical trade candidate after they signed veteran Randy Gregory, draft Nik Bonitto, and the emergence of Baron Browning. The former undrafted rookie is a good player but ultimately was viewed as expendable by the Broncos' new coaching staff.

More on this story soon.
