The Broncos have until 4 p.m. EST July 15 to come to an extension with their most prized offensive weapon. If a deal isn't met, signs could be pointing to Thomas wearing different colors other than orange and blue in 2016.
Since Rod Smith hung up his cleats almost a decade ago, the Broncos have been in a continuous search for the man who could replace his caliber of play on the field.
The team used a significant amount of resources in the draft by attempting to fill Smith's eventual void before and after his retirement by selecting Ashley Lelie, Darius Watts, Eddie Royal, Marcus Nash and a myriad of other receivers who never seemed to pan out.
