It seems foolish to discuss the Broncos’ running back room without addressing a notable absence. This year’s stable is shaping up to look very different from 2020’s because the Colorado Kid has gone to Texas and the Broncos will replace him with a couple of new faces.
It’ll be weird to see Phillip Lindsay playing outside of Colorado, but it may be the best thing for all parties. After 2019 came to an end, John Elway hinted that the Broncos might give Lindsay a pay raise at the season-ending press conference, but instead they turned around and signed Melvin Gordon to a 2-year, $16 million deal.
