Denver Broncos wide receiver Demaryius Thomas has been one of the big names being floated around in rumors ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline, and he’s not particularly pleased about it.
After Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Thomas expressed his frustration that he’s had to deal with the ongoing speculation about his future with the team.
“How would you feel at your job [if] your boss, whoever, said they wanted you someplace else?” Thomas said, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic. “And you come into work every day and have to think about it? How would you feel? But I had to do it for my team, like it was normal, act like it was normal. It just kept coming up, from left and right. … I had to think about it. … It'll be interesting to see what happens in next couple days.
“I think it should have never gotten out, to tell you the truth. I would have never been thinking about it if it never got it. Nobody would be talking about.”
Thomas, who has spent his entire nine-year career with the Broncos, puts his odds of being traded at “50-50.”
This isn’t the first time that Thomas has opened up about his potential exit from the Broncos. He recently remarked that he felt his time in Denver might be coming up.
Although, a recent report suggests that the Broncos are no longer actively shopping him and that neither he nor fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders would ultimately get traded by Tuesday.
Things could still change by tomorrow’s deadline. But either way, Thomas won’t have to worry about his uncertain future for much longer.
