When running back Jamaal Charles signed a one-year deal to join the Broncos on Tuesday, he told local media that he “always wanted to play in Denver” and that he grew up a John Elway fan. Charles’ college teammate and former Packers tight end Jermichael Finley later posted on Twitter an old photo of Charles wearing a No. 7 Broncos jersey as proof.
Charles also said that getting released by the Chiefs in February after he had spent nine seasons with the team was “business, but it’s also personal as well.”
“It is what it is,” he added.
