No matter the outcome of the Denver Broncos’ 2018 season, one of the most disappointing individual aspects in hindsight will be the release of quarterback Chad Kelly, and the circumstances that necessitated the move.
Kelly was arrested on a trespassing charge the night of Von Miller’s big Halloween party. The Broncos were obviously extremely disappointed with Kelly, who had been exemplary in his off-field behavior up to that point in his NFL career.
He had worked his way back from injuries. He had proven himself a player with great potential in the Broncos’ preseason games where he took Paxton Lynch’s job and prevented the Broncos from going after a veteran backup to Case Keenum.
