"DT told me he can be better by "Not taking any plays off, especially blocking. And limit the drops." #Broncos

Well if he can sort these issues out - the contract will be great business for us, perhaps even a steal. I am pleased that he is able to articulate these failings and that he is not blinkered by his own hype and ego.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – While Broncos fans restlessly waited for wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to re-sign a long-term contract with Denver on Wednesday, Thomas was confident even as the deadline rapidly approached.

He was confident that everything would fall into place with the team that drafted him in 2010 and helped mold him into the three-time Pro-Bowl receiver he is. Now, Thomas remains confident that he will stay a Bronco and retire in the orange and blue.

“… I kind of knew the whole time,” Thomas said. “I always wanted to finish a Bronco and retire a Bronco. I kind of knew we would get something done. It was just [getting] the right thing.”

Thomas’ five-year contract comes on the heels of a record-breaking year with the Broncos. In his fifth year in the NFL, Thomas set single-season and single-game franchise records in receiving yards in 2014 with 1,619 and 226 yards, respectively.
