Houston Texans player notes for Nov 7th, 2018


Demaryius Thomas – Noteworthy
WR Demaryius Thomas hasn’t been shy about opening up on his former team, even after it celebrated his return with a banner outside the stadium and pregame scoreboard tribute prior to Sunday’s game. Thomas told Orange & Blue radio 760 AM in Denver that Broncos management — from general manager John Elway to head coach Vance Joseph — wasn’t honest about trade rumors this season. “It was so tough,” Thomas said of the deal at the trade deadline. “Even leading up to the Kansas City game (Oct. 28) it was tough, because that one day, I didn’t say anything to anybody. I walk into the job and Vance Joseph walks up to me and says, ‘Don’t listen to the trade talks, it’s not true.’ Before the season started, the trade talk was still going, and nobody said anything to me. Why come to me Monday when it’s the same talk? When he said that to me, I said, ‘How is it not true? My agent (Todd France) called me today and said Elway wanted a fifth-round pick for me.’”
