Bradley Chubb left his heart in Dove Valley. He found it again Monday, nestled in a pile of socks, t-shirts and the sundries he didn’t have time to pack as the NFL trade deadline swept him south.
“I was on the sidelines of our game (Sunday), seeing the (other) scores,” the former Broncos linebacker and new Miami Dolphins QB-masher told me as Empower Field glistened in the distance.
“And I was like, ‘OK, (Denver’s) got a chance. OK, they’re up 10-0. OK, they’re looking good.’”
As badly as the Broncos missed Chubb in Nashville, it wasn’t nearly as badly as he missed them. While his Fins were busy curb-stomping the Cleveland Browns, Chubb’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift to Nissan Stadium. To old habits, old friends and old wounds.
“They’re going to turn it around,” the defender said of the 3-6 Broncos, who’d wrapped him up with a 2024 fifth-round draft pick and traded him to Miami on Nov. 2 in exchange for a first-round pick in 2023, a fourth-round pick in ’24 and running back Chase Edmonds. “I’ve got full confidence in them. Full support.”
On Monday night, they offered that support right back. Chubb couldn’t throw a ball at the Ironworks on Larimer without hitting an ex-teammate. Dozens of current Denver players turned up to support their former running buddy at his Chubb Foundation Inaugural Gala, a fund-raising event for the Denver Public Schools Foundation and Clayton Early Learning.
Keeler: Bradley Chubb’s talents may be on South Beach, but he won’t stop rooting for Broncos. Or Denver kids. “They’re going to turn it around.”
