When you think about the greatest receivers in Denver Broncos history, three names typically come to mind: Rod Smith, Lionel Taylor, and Demaryius Thomas.
For the last couple of weeks, rumors have circulated that the Broncos were considering moving on from the newest member of that group, and on Tuesday, those rumors came to fruition as the Broncos shipped Thomas and a 2019 seventh-round pick to the Houston Texans in exchange for a fourth and seventh-round pick.
The trade ended Thomas’ eight and a half year stint in Denver, who used one of their two first-round picks in 2010 to select the receiver out of Georgia Tech.
