Broncos resigning Melvin is a great move. I think Javonte needs another year before he can fully be our #1 RB. I love him as 1a and Melvin as 1b. Plus, that’s another need off the draft board! Melvin just has an eye for the end zone and I can’t wait to watch Russ hand it off to him!
When Russ got traded I was at work. I remember just before lucnhtime (east coast) I read Aaron was staying in GB. I was working on replacing an electrical panel when I look at my phone and saw it was 2:30. Day’s almost over I thought. I look a little lower and a text that I will never forget reads, “WE GOT RUSS!!!!!” from another Broncos fan. I dropped my tools out of my other hand and ran to social media as quick as I can, and YES! I couldn’t believe it. As others have said I just had to figure out what we gave up for him. As each piece was revealed I kept waiting for the big one like Jeudy or Surtain, but nothing ever came. FLEECED!
And the best part about it, my boss (older guy) always liked to tease me that we had no QB, and he’s a Jets fan, so confident in the direction his franchise is headed (for some reason..). It was only my 2nd week and when I told him he said “You know you’ve only been here a week and you’re already pissin’ me off!” Jokingly of course. That’s the story, pretty lame but I figured I’d join the trend!
