Lloyd Joins Broncos

The switch up between players from the Chicago Bears and the Denver Broncos isn’t quite over yet. The Bears and Broncos made headlines earlier this year when the Bears traded high draft picks and quarterback Kyle Orton for quarterback Jay Cutler. Now, former Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Lloyd has become the newest Bronco. Lloyd is used to working with Orton, who has been named the starting quarterback for Denver.

The Bears may have their chance at a Denver wide receiver as well. Word has surfaced that wide receiver Brandon Marshall has requested a trade. Marshall has been with the Broncos since he entered the league in 2006. Last season, he started all but one game and tallied 104 receptions, 1,265 yards and six touchdowns. The Bears may have a hard time landing Marshall because of how much they gave up to get Cutler.

Lloyd was with Chicago last season, but he had spent seasons with the Washington Redskins and San Francisco 49ers before that. In his career, he has tallied 156 receptions, 2,253 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Bears have said they are confident in their receiver corps, but many expect them to add another proven wide receiver.
