The Broncos may be able to hold on to two of their top pass catchers thanks to some home team love from Demaryius Thomas.
With 145 more yards, he’ll be only the third receiver in NFL history to enjoy three straight seasons with 1,450 yards and 10 touchdowns. The other two names: Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison.
Thomas is due some big time money as well, and the free agent to be told NFL Network that he definitely would take a cheaper deal to help the Broncos salary cap.
“Of course, why not?” Thomas asked. “Peyton is one of the best in the game, and I’ve been blessed to have him as my quarterback. I learned so much from him. Denver, of course I gotta take my hats off to them, because they took a chance of drafting me in the first round.”
Thomas agent doesn’t think so. Demaryius Thomas is one of the top wide receivers in the game with plenty of leverage behind him.
They let Eric Decker walk because of this, so the Broncos will pay one of the Thomas boys, while giving a huge deal to the other.
