Broncos Statement Claims Thomas Didn’t Do It

In a recent statement, the Denver Broncos effectively cleared recently-arrested DT Marcus Thomas of his drug-related charges, at least in regards to potential issues the arrest may cause with the team:

The Denver Broncos are aware that Marcus Thomas is under investigation for possession of cocaine and was a passenger in a vehicle where cocaine was found. The owner/operator of the vehicle has since admitted the cocaine was his and no cocaine was ever found on Marcus Thomas. Within hours of his release, Marcus had a test which confirmed that there was no cocaine in his system. The Broncos are hopeful that no charges will be filed, and we are monitoring the situation as it goes forward.

Thomas, a 2007 fourth-round draft pick with first round talent, has had his run-ins with the law and drugs in the past. While it appears that Thomas was innocent, he may have dodged a bullet this time. The bottom line, and I know it’s easier said than done: it’s time to find new friends, Thomas. Keep yourself clean and the fans will be doing backflips for you.
