Kickin’ it with Kiz: Is Cleveland star Joe Thomas the answer to the Broncos’ big question at left tackle?

Let’s dream. How about the Broncos get Joe Thomas from Cleveland to play left tackle?

Bob, just trying to help

Kiz: At the NFL trade deadline during the 2015 season, John Elway acted on a suggestion from the deep thinkers here at Kickin’ It Headquarters and was this close to acquiring Thomas from the Browns. The deal fell apart because Cleveland kept bumping up the price, even after Elway believed the framework of a trade was in place. The Broncos went on to beat Carolina in Super Bowl 50 without Thomas. He has earned two more invitations to the Pro Bowl since the last dalliance with Denver, but there are signs Thomas’ best football is behind him.
