This is so great.
It’s not every day in the NFL that you wind up playing a team you just traded a beloved player to, but that’s happening in Denver this week. The Texans are in town just days after Demaryius Thomas was dealt to Houston, which led to this:

Thomas spent eight years in Denver. He had over 9,000 receiving yards with the Broncos. He caught 60 touchdowns, and experienced the ups of a Super Bowl, and now the downs of a team still reloading following Peyton Manning’s retirement. Upon leaving he posted a heartfelt message on his Instagram page thanking the city and the fans for their time together.
“To Bronco Nation:
I will forever be grateful for my time in Denver & for playing a part in bringing a Super Bowl trophy to the Mile High City!
Thank you to my teammates, coaches, & the entire Broncos organization for inspiring me every single day I came in to the building, and to the fans that loved me through it all, I love y’all.
On to the next chapter!”
It’s really great to see the Broncos return the favor and honor a player whose career in Denver was so quietly prolific than he ranks third in team history in receptions behind legends Shannon Sharpe and Rod Smith. This is all just great.
