Denver Broncos: Danny Trevathan talks John Fox reunion
Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan is focused on the Super Bowl, but he could see himself talking with John Fox about a reunion in Chicago when his free agency comes up this offseason…
Like I wrote earlier on Wednesday, you need to enjoy the ‘good old days’ while you’re still in them. I learned that from Andy Bernard on The Office.
For Denver Broncos linebacker Danny Trevathan, the Super Bowl is the final step before the next chapter of his life, whether that’s as a freshly re-signed Denver Broncos linebacker or the new potential leading tackler for a new team.
That new team could be the Chicago Bears with his former head coach John Fox, one of the men who had a hand in drafting the former Kentucky Wildcats star. Trevathan says free agency isn’t at the forefront of his thoughts, but he could see possibly talking with Fox and the Bears at some point.
“I believe I can fit in any scheme. Coach Fox is one of the guys that gave me the opportunity to showcase I can fit within the scheme. I’m sure it’ll be there, I’m sure we’ll end up talking, but right now my main focus is this game. Whatever happens, happens. This game could make or break my contracts. It’s up to me to make the most of it. I think I’m doing a good job right now and I’m locked in and focused.”
I was originally upset when I had read that Trevathan was talking about this subject, but seeing the context around his comments and the way he deflected his focus back to the Super Bowl is a great encouragement. This group with the Broncos right now has one goal in mind — winning the Super Bowl.
Obviously with that will come financial gains, but the main focus is on winning against Cam Newton and the Panthers on Sunday, and the leading tackler of the Broncos (Trevathan) will play a major role in that.
After his injuries in 2014, I was unsure whether or not Trevathan would be able to return to form, but I honestly think after this season he’s only going to continue to get better. Coming into the league with questions about his size and speed combination, Trevathan has developed into a tackling machine that fits in any defense, and is one of the best linebackers in the NFL in terms of his coverage abilities.
He will get paid this offseason handsomely. Obviously, we wish there was no salary cap in the NFL and the Broncos could afford to keep everyone. It would be phenomenal to see Trevathan continue his career in the correct version of orange and blue.
