Demaryius Thomas to the Texans

[Dante84]

For a mid-round pick. Per Ian Rap.

Fuck the Broncos.

[O.city]

His first game for the Texans will be against....the Broncos.

[ClevelandBronco]

That was the rumor this morning. Looks like he'll be visiting Denver this week.

[Mile High Mania]

His first game for the Texans will be against....the Broncos.

So, is it official? He can just stay home this week... too funny.

[MahiMike]

Bum

[Hoover]

Excellent. Really didn't want to see him in NE

[ModSocks]

Desperation move by the Texans. Thomas está terminado.

[Best22]

Glad Denver is worse

Disappointed LA has an easier schedule

[Mile High Mania]

Hate to see DT leave... may be on of the last times I can type 'DT' just to annoy you guys.

Best of luck in HOU if that has indeed become official. Clears up cap space in 2019. Go Sutton!

[notorious]

WR that relies on precise ball placement.....at the Texans.....

[carcosa]

Excellent. Really didn't want to see him in NE

Yes!

[ModSocks]

WR that relies on precise ball placement.....at the Texans.....

More like, "WR that can't get separation anymore and drops too many balls".

Thomas is in that "Dwayne Bowe" stage of his career where he's a big body receiver who's slowing down considerably and has dookie hands.

What the hell are the donks actually doing, Mr. Mile High Mania?

I guess I'm not following.

Unloading Thomas is a win for the Donks if we're being honest.

Well, they weren't going to pay both DT and Sanders in 2019... cap hits were too massive. DT has declined a bit and Sanders is clearly still playing at a high level. Sutton has become a bigger fixture in the offense lately and will slide into that role.

I like it quite a bit...

[TribalElder]

who will the broncos have left to drop passes at critical moments of a game now?

[Cornstock]

Zero consequence trade imo. Glad it wasn't to the Pats

[CaliforniaChief]

The Texans just got a lot better, honestly. Thomas and Hopkins is pretty formidable with Watson slinging it.

They already have DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller, not to mention the little rookie dude that wears #12. Seems....strange.

[Discuss Thrower]

Twitter rumors were saying the Pats would angle for Demaryius.

[ModSocks]

Not even. Thomas is a player in a pattern of decline. The Texans are just looking for a warm body to replace Fuller who they lost to an ACL.

Fuller is done for the season.

Hopefully, it's a good fit.

I think DT was a $17M cap slot for 2019... just relieved some space. I like Sutton, believe he will be solid and they're about the same size/build.

[Mile High Mania]

Twitter rumors were saying the Pats would angle for Demaryius.

Yeah, who knows what they would have given up in return... likely took a better deal from HOU, or the same deal just to say 'up yours' to NEP.

[Dante84]

A lot of WR’s available, and Pats are in the market.

I’d hate to see Desean or Golden land there.

Also, pretty surprised no one is sniffing around Oakland for Jordy. With a decently accurate QB he is still a dangerous possession WR.

[Mile High Mania]

Appears to be a 4th rounder in return... which is fine.

"Dangerous" and "possession WR" don't jive.

Donks win on that one for sure.

After this season Thomas will be put out to the glue factory.

Glad he isn't going to NE, but if they get DJax that's even worse.

And, I'm fine with that...

[ptlyon]

Smart move. Keesum can't hit the receivers and just throws INTs anyway

[Bowser]

Fuller is done for the season.

Ah, missed that. Thanks. Makes way more sense now.

[Mile High Mania]

Smart move. Keesum can't hit the receivers and just throws INTs anyway

Meh.

At this point, it was a play for the future and they have Sutton (same size, build) ready to step in now. Sutton has looked good so far, now it's time for him to step up and be the man. Good luck.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Glad Denver is worse

Disappointed LA has an easier schedule

Denver isn’t worse. Thomas isn’t the same player he was a few years ago. This will just get Sutton more targets, which is a good thing for Denver. Thomas still holds some value, in certain situations, which is why I’m glad he didn’t end up going to the Pats.

Plus, Denver saved some money off the cap. Smart move for them.

[Mile High Mania]

Stats below YTD for DT vs Sutton...

36/56 for 402 yards (11.2 YPC) and 3 TDs
17/37 for 324 yards (19.1 YPC) and 2 TDs

Again, same size/build/talent... great draft pick (shocker) and it's time for him to move up and be the guy for the rest of the year.

[redfan]

That's a good move by the donx.

[Why Not?]

I'm fine with this. Denver gets a little worse(only a little DT not that good anymore). As for the Texans come playoff time, Will Fuller would've been much scarier to face.

[Hammock Parties]

that franchise is in the shitter

[Best22]

DT has been a non-factor in Chiefs-Broncos games for years

Just like the real DT...

[Red Dawg]

Excellent. Really didn't want to see him in NE

This. Good for him.

[Dante84]

"Dangerous" and "possession WR" don't jive.

Sure they do. Red Zone murder scenes.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Good trade by the donks. Get something for him and move on

[Monty]

You know Denver fans have given up when:

It’s being reported that Elway asked for an fifth.


Not a 5th round pick, a 1/5th of bourbon.

[Shoes]

Very good comparison actually.

In all honesty I don't think the Texans really moved the needle at all, they lost Fuller and gained Thomas which I'm not even sure is a lateral move. Fuller's top end speed gives the Texans the ability to stretch the field and not hone in on Hopkins as much. Thomas hasn't been impressive the last couple of seasons but I still think is a slightly above average target.

Really glad the Patriots didn't get Thomas though.

What's with the DT is done posts? He's still been productive with the shit QBs they've had since Manning and seems to be a total team player. I think Texans won the trade.

I don't think he's done... can certainly have a few more productive years and maybe that's the right fit for him.

DT didn't and still doesn't suck.

Denver had to shed DT as his speed must have slipped some since Kessum continued to overthrow him:D

[Mile High Mania]

Griese definitely fell down stairs (tripped on a dog?) ... I think Orton had something like that as well. There were two trip and fall incidents with QBs back then, IIRC.

Well, the dude is 30, so he has a few years left and should be viable and put up good numbers. This is one of those deals where the contract next year and the player waiting in the wings made the exit easier.
