ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph said Wednesday he was "disappointed" in former wide receiver Demaryius Thomas' comments to a Denver radio station earlier this week.
Thomas, who was traded by the Broncos to the Houston Texans just before the league's trade deadline last week, had been critical of the team's handling of the trade in the days leading up to the deal. He also expressed his frustration about the potential to lose playing time to the team's younger receivers as well as not being named team captain.
Asked after Wednesday's practice about Thomas' comments, Joseph said he, general manager John Elway and wide receivers coach Zach Azzanni have "great respect" for Thomas.
