Gradkowski and a 2016 fifth-round pick were officially traded to the Broncos on Thursday in exchange for 2016 fourth-round draft pick, Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun reports. Gradkowski was forced into a backup role last season with the emergence of Jeremy Zuttah, but the move to Denver should make him the frontrunner for starting center duties. He should have a relatively easy transition to the new organization, as Broncos coach Gary Kubiak formerly served as the Ravens' offensive coordinator during Gradkowski's time in Baltimore.
