If you were to take a poll of Denver Broncos fans this offseason, I would contend that perhaps no loss of the many departures this offseason would be considered as impactful as the loss of Danny Trevathan.
Trevathan signed a fairly reasonable deal with the Chicago Bears given he has led the team in tackles two of the last three seasons, one that many Broncos fans were upset about the team not having offered or matched.
While the Broncos lost Trevathan, they kept around Brandon Marshall, who was the team’s leading tackler in 2014 and appears to be on the same trajectory of Trevathan in terms of being an all-around force as an off-ball linebacker in the Broncos’ defense.
