ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Even after four years of waiting, Wednesday must have been bittersweet for cornerback Bradley Roby.
As 2 p.m. MT arrived, the Broncos finalized a trade to send cornerback Aqib Talib to the Los Angeles Rams.
With that news, Roby officially stepped into a starting role.
And with that news, Roby also said goodbye to a mentor.
“It’s unfortunate because of how close we were, me and Talib,” Roby said this week. “With everyone, we were just so close, so tight. It was another guy from the 'No-Fly Zone' that’s gone now, and it’s a new era.
