In 2015, the Broncos desperately needed a left tackle after Ryan Clady’s season-ending injury—so they targeted Joe Thomas. Peyton Manning personally called Thomas to plead for the trade, even suggesting he ask his own GM to push it through. But Thomas refused to force his way out, insisting trades should happen naturally. The deal never materialized, and the Broncos still won Super Bowl 50 with a different offensive line. Years later, they tried again in 2017—but nothing stuck. It’s wild to think how close that legendary trade might have been.
