TE Julius Thomas had his best stint under #Broncos OC Adam Gase. Now, Thomas will be back with Gase with the #Dolphins. Mutually beneficial

Miami is sending offensive tackle Branden Albert and a late-round pick in this year's draft back to Jacksonville for Thomas, who has reportedly agreed to a revised deal in order to make the trade work. Jacksonville is also giving Miami a late-round pick in the 2018 draft.
The two sides had reportedly agreed to a smaller trade earlier on Monday, with offensive tackle with just Albert going to the Jaguars for just the late-round pick in the 2018 draft after the Thomas aspect of the deal fell apart due to him not wanting to restructure his contract. However, his change of heart allowed the full deal to go through.
Thomas, who signed a signed a five-year, $46 million contract with the Jaguars prior to the 2015 season, caught 30 passes for 281 yards and four touchdowns in nine games last season.
Albert, who played and started in 12 games last season, signed a five-year, $47 million contract with the Dolphins prior to the 2014 season.
