PFT Speculates Potential Demaryius Thomas-To-Patriots Trade
“Now there may be nothing to this whatsoever, but I’ve detected just a weird sense coming out of Denver as it relates to Demaryius Thomas,” Florio said in a conversation with Peter King. “He’s a guy that was drafted by [Josh] McDaniels, he’s a guy who ultimately could be available, $8.5 million. We’ve seen John Elway do this, where he’ll squeeze a guy very, very late, maybe try to trade him, and if all else fails, out he goes like T.J. Ward last year. But with the young receivers there — Courtland Sutton for example — if these guys can develop and Elway looks at it and says, ‘$8.5 million, that’s too much to pay,’ it would not shock me if a guy like Thomas ends up joining that [Patriots] depth chart. Late in the game, but still in time to make an impact for the Patriots.”
King ultimately said he doesn’t believe such a trade will happen before the season started, but he also offered a caveat.
“Nothing will shock me with John Elway at all, because I think he always does what Bill Belichick does. He’ll do what he thinks is best for the team, even if it’s a revolutionary thought,” King said.
