Once an apprentice in the No Fly Zone, cornerback Bradley Roby now walks through Broncos headquarters like he owns the joint. Roby, the star of John Elway’s 2014 draft class, won’t like me saying this. But he pushed Aqib Talib out the door to Los Angeles.
Talib gave the No Fly Zone an edge as nasty as a poke in the eye. Roby, however, made Talib expendable, which explains how a five-time Pro Bowler was traded to the Rams for a fifth-round draft choice.
In the NFL, every job is temporary work.
