During an interview with Zach Bye and Brandon Stokley on 104.3 The Fan on Wednesday, free agent wide receiver Demaryius Thomas made it clear that he would be open to returning to Denver and finishing his career with the Broncos.
“It would be amazing [to return],” Thomas said, according to The Athletic’s Nicki Jhabvala. “Like I said, I was talking to Courtland [Sutton] about it the other day and I was telling him, ‘I’m not coming to try to be the No. 1 or whatever. I ain’t trying to be that.
“I’m just trying to be a part of something I can help win. I ain’t trying to be no big shot. I want to be a part of something that I can help win because I know I can still play ball. I still got good ball in me. It would be great. I would finish there if I came back. I wouldn’t go nowhere else.”
Given that he’s already made plenty of money in his career, Thomas would presumably be open to returning for close to the league minimum. He is just 237 yards away from 10,000 career receiving yards, something he hopes to achieve before hanging up his cleats.
