Maybe the NFLPA has something here...

Cheaper than Dez's contract. God Damn Elway is good at his job.

Considering the contracts are almost exactly the same and Dez is the better player, I'd say Stephen Jones outdid Elway here.

I can't wait until fivehead retires at the end of this year after another failed playoff run, and thomas has to start catching ducks from asswiper. Then we'll see if he can live up to that contract

He caught a game winning TD pass, in overtime of a playoff game, against the Pittsburgh Steelers...from Tim Tebow. I think Thomas will be just fine.

Every dog get's a bone sometime. No one on the steelers staff or team expected that from tboner, which is why it worked that ONE time.

Since then his stats have been padded by having manning throwing the ball to him. I stand by my statement that as soon as manning is gone, thomas will become either average or slightly above average. No way he keeps up this pace

It was a little dink pass from Tebow that Thomas turned into a TD. He has shown the ability to do that consistently.The only weak points in Thomas' game are that he doesn't always fight for the ball and that he's streaky. He'll be a substantial asset regardless of the QB and he has shown that on the field. If the Broncos pass a lot, he'll have an impressive stat line. If the Broncos don't pass a lot, he'll have a decent stat line and it will still be obvious that he is well above average to anyone who watches him play.

He's good at cheating.

You basically just signed the inferior, older player to the same contract.

Since Demaryius has been rid of Tebow Time, he hasn't put up less than 1400 yards in a season.

Dez has never had a single 1400 yard saeson.

Peyton Manning>Tony Romo.

Dez still shits on him in TDs. Yards are overrated.

Dez catches balls from romo, so yeah. After this year, thomas won't have a HOF'ER throwing the ball to him. His production will fall dramatically next season

Dez a year younger
