Florio speculates a Demaryius Thomas to NE trade.

[Sicilian]

Isn't Thomas considered "soft," in that he's afraid of contact and won't fight for the ball? Or was that someone else in Denver?

I don't know about soft. He hasn't had much impact in the postseason recently, but he had a monster postseason in 2013, including 13 catches in the SB against Seattle at the very height of the Legion of Boom. Doesn't mean much for 2018, but still, I think his problems might have been injury related rather than unwillingness to get the tough catches.

Broncos will cut him like they did TJ Ward last year. I would wait a few weeks if were BB. He would fill a big need for outside receiver.

Would Elway be willing to admit that paying the $4 million option in March was a mistake like that? That would be $9.5 million spent in March on two players that didn’t even last until September.

Either way I don't think Thomas is complaining.

I wasn't aware of all that. However, I think if Thomas is outplayed by Courtland Sutton or Dasean Hamilton then Elway will cut his losses. He hasn't been playing well this preseason and is 30 years old with a salary of $8.5 million this year and $14 million next year. The coaching staff does not appeared to be thrilled with him. My gut tells me he will be cut.

Demaryius Thomas gets pushed by Broncos' rookie receivers

 

[Nordberg]

He has too much talent

Bill has no interest

This would be interesting if he was in his final year of the contract. It would be easier to make his cap hit more manageable. It is intriguing and could be a great fit but I dont think there is a way to make the money work.

 

[Froob]

Much rather have Sanders if he’s on the table..he’s basically Edelman. Excellent route runner and tough as nails and can lineup anywhere. Thomas is kinda soft, seems to never show up for the big games. I’ll take Thomas if he’s cheap though. Our receiver core has the potential to be very bad.

At his age, and with that inclination, he's just looking to punch the clock 'til retirement and get out without getting hurt. Unless he's essentially a freebee and we lose another wr in tonight's game, I'm not interested.

 

[Love The Drake]

I would take Thomas or Dez and be stoked.

 

[BradyFTW!]

I'm not a big DT fan, but if McDaniels signs off on it then I'm happy to defer to his judgment. We could certainly use the WR help.

They have a good team this year. Why would they do that?

 

[Sciz]

And right on cue, Broncos fans think they’re getting a first round pick for him.

 

[TB_Helmet]

I would take Thomas or Dez and be stoked.

They were drafted within about 6 picks of each other IIRC.

 

[Oswlek]

I'd take him, but it won't happen. Not sure why all the news outlets are going crazy over barely plausible speculation.

So Belichick went after Moss because he believed Moss was washed up and would stink in New England?

 

[Clonamery]

I would take Thomas or Dez and be stoked.

Why not both!!!!

 

[Deus Irae]

I'd take him, but it won't happen. Not sure why all the news outlets are going crazy over barely plausible speculation.

Because of the TJ Ward cut.

 

[luuked]

Why not both!!!!

**** it let's get Julio as well.

 

[maineman209]

DOUBLE "Genius"!!

In theory the Broncos enter the season with hopes to make a run at the post season, they have a somewhat established QB this year and a guy they drafted #5 overall that is expected to make an immediate impact. Not sure they would do that but it's an interesting name. About being soft a WR in this offense is expected to make clean catches if he is on the place where he is expected to be, OK that there will be times when it won't be possible to be totally open but anyways it's a much better investment to spend 8 Million on Thomas than Toasty Bryant.
