The Denver Broncos made an admission when they traded Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins this week in an exchange for a first-round draft pick, among other compensation.
NFL teams aren’t forced to be honest with the media and their fan bases until it’s time to make a transaction. The message that the Broncos sent with the Chubb trade is simple: They aren’t nearly as close as they thought they were to winning a championship and it’s time to start considering the future again.
This season has been a disaster for the Broncos.
